My most recent favorite find, this lovely red floral I found at a thrift store. Score! #makermarch2018 #sewingartist #sewing #sew #austintxsewing #dressmaker #fabric #designer #sewist #imakemyownclothes #diannetalley #memadeeverday #sewistofinstragram #needlewieldingvirgo #austinsews

Day 15 of #makermarch2018 is complex. The most complex garment I have ever made was/ is my wedding dress. Flat patterning, draping, underlining, lining, boning and bias cut are just some of the techniques I used. #sewingartist #sewing #sew #austintxsewing #dressmaker #fabric #designer #sewist #imakemyownclothes #diannetalley #memadeeverday #sewistofinstragram #needlewieldingvirgo #austinsews

The only loungy thing I’ve made, a pair of PJ Shorts. I can definitely use more lounge wear, or at least secret pajama things.#makermarch2018 #sewingartist #sewing #sew #austintxsewing #dressmaker #fabric #designer #sewist #imakemyownclothes #diannetalley #memadeeverday #sewistofinstragram #needlewieldingvirgo #austinsews #rtwfaster2018

Stitch or Serge? I do both. I use my serger for seam finishing mainly because it’s really old and doesn’t have differential feed. I’m wondering if they make a walking food for it? #makermarch2018#sewingartist #sewing #sew #austintxsewing #dressmaker #fabric #designer #sewist #imakemyownclothes #diannetalley #memadeeverday #sewistofinstragram #needlewieldingvirgo #austinsews

Woven or knits, both for day 5 of #makermarch2018. I tend to do knit tops and woven bottoms. Skirts, apparently. #austintxsewing #dressmaker #fabric #designer #sewist #imakemyownclothes #diannetalley #memadeeverday #sewistofinstragram #needlewieldingvirgo #austinsews #skirts

It’s Day 1 of #makermarch2018 my 5 maker facts are 1) I started sewing early [ the pic is of my daughter], 2) I started sewing for myself in high school, 3) I actually majored in Fashion Design in college, because I wanted to do costume design 4) I was a costume designer for a while 5) I also was a wedding dress designer for a while. Now I just mainly sew for me. Bonus fact, I’m an artist too!
