Husband asked if "long knitted garments that open at the front" were called 'kaftans' 🤭. . The Corvid Coat I machine knit in worsted wool last winter is *mostly* warm enough for a 33° morning. Scarf is a stockinette tube in fingering weight "Mondawmin" from @neighborhoodfiberco. . Still wearing these gold @svenclogs too 🙃. 📷 Photo cred to @carlyrm and her iPhone 11. #corvidcoat #brooklyntweed #neighborhoodfiberco #blackgirlsknit #machineknitting

☔ My beast of a rain poncho/cape/slicker is up on my blog. ⁠ ⁠ 🌦️TLDR: This Burdastyle 3/2014 #138 pattern is exactly what I wanted despite a near crushing mistake with my lining. Spacious, yet stylish; easy to wear, keeps me dry for dogwalks and MOST of all, has a hood!⁠ ⁠ 🌈 Fabric is DKNY leatherette. Purchased in 2018 in Dallas when shopping with @fauxgetaboutit. Snaps were set locally in Baltimore by @sewlabusa. Mesh lining was sent to me from @theslapdashsewist (leftover from our 2011 rainpants in Holland project). Colorwheel umbrella in the last photo, my latest most prized possession, gifted from the beautiful, sweetest and most thoughtful @jasikaistrycurious ⁠ 🌧️ Link to my blog in my profile!⁠ ⁠ #burdastyle @burda_style @burdastylegermany #raingear #sewingouterwear ⁠ ⁠.⁠ .⁠ .⁠ .⁠ .⁠ .⁠ .⁠ .⁠ .⁠ .⁠ .⁠ ⁠ #diyfashion #diystyle #rainwear #DKNY #fashionsewing #garmentsewing #garmentconstruction #isew #ilovesewing #imakemyownclothes #instasew #imakefashion #lovetosew #lovesewing @burdastyl#memadeeveryday #sewing #sewingblog #sewingblogger #sewcialists #sewistsofinstagram #sewingpattern #sewingproject #sewingaddict #wearwhatyoumake #wearethemakers

I'd like to thank "The Crown" for my progress. I'm on episode 10 though, so expect a stitching slowdown until "The Man in the High Castle" returns (or I finally get that @acorn_tv subscription). . . Canvas from @oasisneedlepoint. I used a black rayon ribbon in basketweave forthe camera to try and give it that vintage camera body look/sheen. . . I'm now tackling the background using three strands of a silk thread and the "T stitch". . . . . . . . . #needlepointersofinstagram #needlepoint #needlework #ndlpt #oasisneedlepoint #adventureawaits

✨Second outing of my second Jalie Rachel dress, this time following a bat mitzvah we attended. I made this dress a week ago for a wedding, in one night. It's just REALLY fast to sew.⁠ ⁠ ⭐This fabric! It's an Issa print I scored from @fabricmart a few months ago. It's an engineered print, so I had to be careful about pattern placement. I might have a star pasty, but I do love how the stars start small and get larger going from left to right.⁠ ⁠ This version has sleeves and a waist tie and I scooped out the neck. I made a size BB here, which corresponds to my full bust. I might size down and make a bit of a FBA the next time I make this pattern up (those lines at my armpit offend me). ⁠ ⁠ My first sleeveless animal print version was a tester, so none of my usual alterations. For this one, I made the full seat and swayback adjustment I said I'd do the next time around. I also graded out for my thighs, but with the full seat adjustment, it was overkill.⁠ ⁠ Unlike my first, I did actually hem this one. The Issa fabric looked unfinished without a hem.⁠ ⁠ Still love this pattern! I have a silk jersey I might sacrifice to make up my holiday party dress.⁠ ⁠ #JalieRachel #JalieLife #Jalie ⁠@Jalie_patterns⁠ .⁠ .⁠ .⁠ .⁠ .⁠ .⁠ .⁠ .⁠ .⁠ .⁠ .⁠ .⁠ .⁠ .⁠ .⁠ #diyfashion #diystyle⁠ #fashionsewing #garmentsewing #garmentconstruction #isew #ilovesewing #imakemyownclothes #instasew #imakefashion #lovetosew #lovesewing #memadeeveryday #modernmaker #makersgonnamake #sewing #sewingblog #sewingblogger #sewcialists #sewinglove #sewistsofinstagram #sewingpattern #sewingproject #sewingaddict #wearwhatyoumake #wearethemakers

Spent some time this a.m. picking out threads/ribbons/braids and stitches for my new needlepoint. It looks like my Fuji camera! I cannot wait to finish this very expensive wall hanging 😄 Canvas handpainted by @oasisneedlepoint and purchased from my local needlepoint shop @hillsideneedlepoint. They are the best! . . . . . . #oasisneedlepoint #adventureawaits #needlepointersofinstagram #needlepoint #needlework #ndlpt4life #ndlpt #stitchers #stitchersofinstagram

While Dior was amazing, the surprising highlight of my trip to Dallas was a visit to the Texas Fashion Collection at the University of North Texas in Denton. Here, I'm standing with garments donated by Calvin Klein that they are adding to their digital catalog (rabbit hole of an archive linked in my bio).⁠ ⁠ Holy Moly! @Texasfashioncollection houses 20,000 different items from hats and girdles to couture gowns and airline uniforms by Pucci. I have never been this up close and personal to this level of fashion, it took my breath away! ⁠ ⁠ The TFC doesn't have a museum to display their garments but is open to researchers, students, and fashion dorks. Follow them online for a daily dose of fashion history.⁠ ⁠ Thanks to @NaughtyBobbin, we were able to get in and meet with the director, Anette Becker (@anmabeck). She pulled a few garments for us to inspect (eyes only, no touching). I was so overwhelmed by all there was to see, I didn't take that many photos! I posted a few videos in my stories. Probably the closest to Chanel I'm ever gonna get 😁⁠ ⁠ Also, I think it may be time for a hashtag for my fashion museum adventures, lol.⁠ .⁠ .⁠ .⁠ .⁠ .⁠ #texasfashioncollection #culture #costumedesign #exhibits #design #museums
