Taking a break from reading the news this morning to finish up this shop sample for @ewefibers This is the @halfmoonatelier Strand Top from @makingzine sewn up in our Bizet Linen in Blush. #simplemakealong #makingzine #ewemakers #linen #ilovelinen #sewistsofinstagram #sewingismysuperpower #jessamybmakes2020

#memademay2020 Day 26 (as in, it’s the 26th day of the month, not the 26th of participation for me) I’m done now though! No more #mmmay2020 for me, because I will just be wearing this from now until forever. My newest favorite pattern and my favorite of all favorites fabric. That’s a lot of favorites, and it’s all true. #notanad 😂😂 Ok, actual specifics: This is the #greerjumpsuit by @heyjunehandmade worn with a #kilatank I straight up copied her first version that made me desperately want to sew this #noshame I used the Cairo Linen from @ewefibers which is a relatively new fabric for us, and I honestly couldn’t love it more. I’d tell you to go buy it, but I want it all for myself, so don’t. (Or at least leave the nutmeg for me if you can’t resist) It’s a mid weight washed linen and it’s what dreams are made of. I sewed a size 4 based on my measurements and didn’t make any alterations to the pattern, although I probably could have shortened the body some (I am 5’2” ish) I just hiked it up with the straps a little bit. I did make the pockets slightly bigger and slap them directly over the side seams, but otherwise, it was sewn as written. I also only used 2.25yards of fabric, not a recommendation for ignoring fabric recs, just a note. I think that’s enough blabbing for now! Thanks for all the jumpsuit recs from my stories, I will try and compile all the suggestions and post for you all! I have some great schemes already in mind! If you read all that, you deserve a treat 🍩 🥂🍦 #heyjunehandmade #ewemakers #isew #isewmyownclothes #handmadewardrobe #sewingismysuperpower #sewistsofinstagram #indiesewing #indiesewingpatterns #jessamybmakes2020 #jessamybmemademay

#memademay2020 Day 17: It’s finally happened! I’ve joined the #freerangeslacks club! Thank you @summerkiser for showing me how cute these pants are in real life! (If I’m being honest, the pattern photos didn’t do it for me, and I somehow missed the 798263783837 cute versions on here 🤷🏼‍♀️) These are a wearable muslin in a cotton/linen blend stash fabric. I was too chicken to cut into the linen I actually bought for these without testing them out. Good thing I did, because I took 1.5” off the rise, and I kind of regret it. Going high rise all the way for the next pair! 🙌🏻 #mmmay2020 #memadeeveryday #sewhouse7 #unionstreettee #heyjunepatterns #sewingismytherapy #sewingismysuperpower #diywardrobe #jessamybmemademay

#memademay2020 Day 15: The day I decided to match my wall 😂 This is actually from yesterday, but I forgot to post 💁🏼‍♀️ I make no promises for the weekend, but we will see. Wearing another #estuaryskirt with a #friscotanktop I made this faux dress for an @imaginegnats blog post last summer. I had no idea at the time it would be my last post for Rachael 😭 I had a lot of people ask me about real vs. faux buttonholes on the Estuary skirt, and my vote is for faux! This one actually has real buttonholes, and I couldn’t for the life of me remember why. BUT now I do. The tank obviously has real buttonholes, and I like things to match. Hope you all have some exciting weekend plans that mainly involve staying home! I’m FINALLY jumping on the #freerangeslacks train, and I can’t wait to see how they turn out! #mmmay2020 #sewliberatedpatterns #threadbeargarments #friscojumpsuit #memademay #memadeeveryday #handmadewardrobe #sewistgonnasew #makersgonnamake #isewmyownclothes #jessamybmemademay

#memademay2020 Day 14: don’t be jealous, we woke up like this 😂 The ultimate in twinning is brought to you buy the classic combo of #laneraglan and #hudsonpants Although, hers may actually be a #camdenraglan 👯‍♀️ Clara is somewhere between the Mini Hudson pants size range and the women’s size 0. So for her last few pairs I have taken the size 0 and slimmed the hips. This has been a great interim solution for getting a pair that fits her. I bought this fabric years ago thinking I’d make a maxi dress out of it. Crazy matching jammies fits our style better these days anyway, so thank you winter me for making that decision! Do I get bonus points for making the kid too? 😂 #mmmay2020 #heyjunehandmade #truebias #minihudsonpants #isew #isewmyownclothes #sewingforteens #momswhosew #sewistsofinstagram #sewingismysuperpower #twinningiswinning #jessamybmemademay

#memademay2020 Day 13: I’ve lost track of the days again, and had been wearing the same sweatshirt for the last 2 (3?) days. I can’t bring myself to post everyday in a sweatshirt, even if it is #memade So, after my late afternoon run, I showered and got dressed to make dinner! (I know, things are getting crazy! 😂) This evenings outfit is maxi #southportdress with my #rifttee thrown over top. I’m a bit unsure of this color combo. In my mind they looked great together, but I’m not so sure looking at the photo. Now, to keep the sauce off of it... #mmmay2020 #isew #isewmyownclothes #truebias #memadeeveryday #iknit #sweaterknitting #makersgonnamake #sewistgonnasew
