#knipmode

Trouser pattern is from Knipmode, october 2019, asymmetric top from Jen Hewett's Print, Pattern, Sew (but I added the pleat), and the blouse pattern is Bruna from La Maison Victor with just the collar stand instead of the regular collar.

I've finished the dress just in time for the weekend. #sewingproject #diyfashion #dress #knipmode https://www.instagram.com/p/CF2JQVHB_I-/?igshid=yr2upecdx95a

The current #sewingproject: a nice #dress made with fabric bought at #stoffenbeursamersfoort and a pattern from #knipmode September 2020. https://www.instagram.com/p/CFt2cMfhSGw/?igshid=mep9x0mi9r7v

And the gingham dress is done! I tweaked the neckline a bit compared to the previous dress, and deepened the front darts, but otherwise it's still the same pattern. I also found the perfect belt for this in my closet, but was wondering what to do with the loose end since this dress doesn't have belt loops. But then I saw how @morgandonner had looped the end of her belt in her recent video so I'm totally stealing that 😁 #sewing #fashion #dress #dresses #knipmode #pockets #handsewing #ithaspockets #imadethis #refashion #upcycle https://www.instagram.com/p/B_w48eaAb7X/?igshid=w7a7o1cv558h

I finished the dress I was doing all those mockups for! The bodice fit is still not 100% - I think I may need to create my own block because commercial patterns always require so many alterations. Anyway, overall I'm pretty pleased with how it came out, it's cotton so very comfortable (I've already been working on my next dress while wearing this, and it holds up during floor sewing so 👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻). I never thought I'd say this but the pockets may be a smidge too deep. Will use a different pocket pattern next time. Featuring my favourite belt, and sun protection because hoo boy did my phone almost overheat while taking these pictures ☀️ #sewing #fashion #dress #dresses #knipmode #pockets #handsewing #ithaspockets #imadethis #refashion #curtainfabric https://www.instagram.com/p/B-zP8J-gc5R/?igshid=2kfizbrml4sn

This pattern, man... The right side has crazy ease under the arm, and the left side is my second round of alterations. I've since taken the shoulder in still a bit more, and I think I'll run with this but I probably won't be using knipmode patterns again... #sewing #fashion #memade #knipmode https://www.instagram.com/p/B94vJfBgjce/?igshid=cjbq8oyvui8z

Been working on mockups these past few weekends. I'm actually trying to combine the bodice, skirt and sleeves from 3 different knipmode patterns, because those are the elements I liked best when trying out those patterns earlier. I'm pretty happy with the waist and neckline, less so with the armscye. I have had this issue before with knipmode patterns, where they seem to put the ease for lifting your arms into the bodice side seam rather than the sleeves and it just feels so weird to me. I mean, my sideseam is now baggy in the armpit and yet I still cannot lift my arm above my head without lifting up the entire dress! To be continued I guess. If anyone has tips for transferring ease from the bodice to the sleeve, feel free to @ me 😁 #sewing #memade #skirt #knipmode #dress @fashion #mockup https://www.instagram.com/p/B9eThrogVU5/?igshid=ojdm1487m0nt
