This January we launched #sewtheprecious as a yearly challenge, making the commitment to sewing those precious fabrics hiding in our stash.
As the first month of 2020 comes to a close, let’s take a moment to admire some of the precious garments you made from the precious fabrics!
This Mary Quant-inspired coat from @sewnotmature is amazing, round pockets and all! It is fully reversible and made of wool and PVC.
This shirt makes me happy just by looking at it. @PatsyPoo is the proof that practice makes perfect!
Black tulip made this dress with fabric bought in 19991!
Loving this very botanical take on the Eden coat from @thebakerthatsews !

I’ve been giving a lot of thought to the January’s #magamsewalong prompt, #genuinejanuary. I’ve always shared my love of prints and colors and my makes for the most part, reflect that love. But, lately, I’ve been wondering if I “need” to create more solids or neutrals. The answer, NO! The amount of joy and creativity that is sparked by prints and color for me outweighs any doubts. This is who I am…colors, prints, oversized earrings, trims and tassels. I feel a greater sense of accomplishment when I create using all the things I love. Swipe to see the #oop I used and I love this pattern so much, I’m going to sew ALL the views. The only modifications I made to this pattern was using the burrito method to line the bodice and of course, shortening for waist and height. I’m also using all my precious fabrics so this counts as #sewtheprecious 😊 @sewing_in_spain @hportemanteau @suestoney @sewcialists @mccallpatterncompany #ankaradresses #ankarafabric #tassels #isewmyownclothes #cscmakes #sewing #beyourself #curvysewing #curvyfashion #fashionsewing #sewersofinstagram #makersgonnamake #sundaysewing #pixiecut #dressmaking #instasew #sewcialists #sewing #memadeeveryday #memadewardrobe2019#sewsimplechallenge2020 #sewankarafabric @julietuzor_ @thatlenaking

Dita says she loves prints, and we think prints love her right back!
@sewonsister made this Sapporo coat with the most gorgeous lining.
Congrats to @thebakerthatsews for conquering her fear of ruining this glorious printed fabric.
