This is the fourth Fibremood Sean I’ve made for Mark and it won’t be the last, as I really, really, like this pattern. Here are the line drawings. I used some wool knit from Knitwit Fabrics as it’s been in my stash for a few years, taking up a lot of room. It has a […]

I’ve been wanting to make Mark a new casual jacket, possibly with matching tracksuit bottoms, to wear to the pool and for long trips in the car, but just didn’t have the right fabric in my stash. I broke my self-imposed fabric ban when I found the perfect fabric at Knitwit Fabrics, and bought three […]

It’s been pretty hot here in Perth and I noticed that Mark was wearing cotton and linen shirts instead of his usual t-shirts and I wondered if it was because the knit fabric was hotter. I began to look for a woven t-shirt pattern and found the Merchant and Mills t-shirt pattern which looked quite […]
Read moreIt’s unselfish sewing month over on my Facebook Stashbusting Sewalong group and I’m the host, so I thought I’d better lead by example and make a few things for other people. I started out with this Seamwork Denali vest, which I thought Mark might like and I scrap busted some fabric left over from his coat, so […]
Read moreAs mentioned in an earlier post I’m doing a scrap busting challenge this month (see https://www.facebook.com/groups/stashbusting2015/) and here are a couple more makes. First up a Megan Nielsen Eucalyptus dress made from a knit fabric. I made the tank version of this in a woven and it was a bit small, so I went up a size […]
Read moreWhen we were camping recently I thought I would make Mark a couple of things. First up was another long sleeve t-shirt using the Men’s Metro T-Shirt. I have several other men’s t-shirt patterns, but I quite like this one. I didn’t take a photo of Mark with the t-shirt in action because he hasn’t […]
Read moreGiven my family’s penchant for flannel shirts, I am always on the lookout for high quality fabric. To my joy I found this Viyella in Hong Kong and now don’t know why I didn’t buy more. I didn’t let this one linger too long in the stash and used Kwik Sew 3422 as per usual. […]
Read moreWhilst it’s currently beautiful weather here in Hobart, there is still that lovely crisp, clean, nip in the air and Mark dressed accordingly. His outfit today consists of a pair of tracksuit pants (KwikSew 3663) made with some cotton fleece from Fabric.com, and a Rugby top (Stretch n Sew 1758) made from bits out of my stash. We […]
Read moreI’ve made Mark a number of new trousers lately and he asked for some with a zipped pocket to make things more secure when we’re travelling. Hmm, I thought I could manage this. I used KwikSew 3663, his and my old favourite and used some of the cotton fabric that Mark brought back from Sri Lanka. These […]
Read moreI have made Kwik Sew 3663 for Mark so often, that I think I could make these trousers in my sleep. They are really supposed to be for working around the house but since Mark brought me home all this wonderful fabric from Sri Lanka, I have been making him a slightly more tailored version. These […]
