I bought 1 metre of boiled wool jersey from @fabworksmillshop and modified the @themakersatelier #unlinedrawedgedcoat pattern to be shorter, sleeveless and without pockets and made this super simple little cardigan topper. I also made a couple of silk lavender sachets. The recipient worked out pretty quickly who it was from and was very happy 😊 #imadethis #secretsanta #secretsantagift #handmadewithlove #sewing #unlinedrawedgecoat #isew #sewmanju #sewingblogger #sewistsofinstagram #sewist #maker #makersgonnamake #sewinggifts #sewingaddict

This was my birthday dress this year and I am planning on wearing it tonight for my office Christmas party (#thingscouldgetmessy 😆) it’s the perfect festive party dress! This dress was made possible thanks to the generosity of @carlalissa who very kindly gifted me a copy of this pattern #officechristmasparty #christmaspartyoutfit #christmaspartydress #sewing #diyfashion #imadethis #imakemyownclothes #sewmanju #fortyplusstyle #fortyplusfashion #maker #makersgonnamake #memade #sewist #sewistofinstagram #cscmakes #isew #sewingissexy #reddress #redpartydress #satindress
