Soppy post alert! ❤️‍🩹 This week I had a Soppy post alert! ❤️‍🩹
This week I had a review that was like big bear hug!

As a self employed Indie Pattern designer juggling 3 job roles, just occasionally I toy with the idea of going back into full time employment purely for the ease of knowing what my monthly income will actually be without wondering if my lack of social media savviness/SEO knowledge/too much time doing the fun stuff is affecting the bottom line. But every now and then I get a review like this one, and I'm reminded why I really do this. I LOVE sewing clothes, and I want others to enjoy it as much as I do by creating patterns that work for me and hopefully for others.

Not only did Sarah Rachel leave me a review with this beautiful photograph of her #quiltcoat made from the #chionoquiltedjacket pattern, but she also emailed me to say that the fabric was from a blanket that belonged to her late father and she was so pleased to have found the right pattern for it. ❤️

I actually think this has to be my most favourite version of the Chiono Quilt Coat to date. The fabric is just beautiful and I think Sarah Rachel has done such a brilliant job of it, not to mention the fact that she has made herself something of real true value.

Sarah Rachel, thank you for inspiring me to keep creating patterns.

So here's why I personally love sewing! Sewing gi So here's why I personally love sewing!  Sewing gives me the ability to create something durable that I'll love wearing, and that fits me well. This is a personal project not related to my sewing patterns, but I really want to encourage more people to sew! Although I can design patterns I've not always been the most confident sewist... But practice makes perfect, and this project has really proved to me how far I've come.

The Top shop jacket was from a thrift store.
Denim fabric (used in reverse) from @sewabfab , underlined with linen and lined with the lining from the original jacket.

Sewing the #camassianightrobe in velvet has been on my to-do list for ever... And I can't get over how lovely it's to wear.

For the longest time now, I have been wanting a ve For the longest time now, I have been wanting a velvet Night Robe... So I made one using the Camassia Night Robe sewing pattern, and I'm obsessed with it! I have also filmed a sewalong video to show the process step by step and explain how I tackled working with the velvet. Link in bio for the sewalong video. 

The Camassia Night Robe pattern is available as an instant download on the Etsy store.

I used velvet purchased from eBay (details in the YouTube video description) and also from eBay was the Indian Block Print fabric that I used for the underlining.

Thank you to @sewabfab for saving the 
day with the #505temporaryfabricadhesive - spray basting the cotton to the velvet was a huge help.

Welcome to my sewing room. Here's how I like to st Welcome to my sewing room. Here's how I like to store my print-at-home sewing patterns. I use A4 Manilla envelopes and then I write the number and name of the pattern and draw a little doodle of the garment onto the envelope.  I store the envelopes upright on my bookshelves where they don't take up much space. 

How do you store your patterns?

With no zips or fussy fasteners... the question re With no zips or fussy fasteners... the question really is, which sewing pattern will you sew this weekend? Most of the Sewillow clothes sewing patterns simply requires the fabric, perhaps the odd bit of interfacing or elastic. But generally if you have a stash of fabric in need of sewing, you're good to go. 

All the patterns are available as instant digital downloads on the Etsy store (link in bio).

BUT the even bigger news is that I have just uploaded the first ever Sewillow sew along tutorial on YouTube.
