I like to sew my own clothes to show off my inner child, uniqueness and quirkiness. Also due to my autism I have sensory issues and so it is difficult to find clothes that both fit my 5ft 2" frame as well as not itch and be comfy. Being able to sew allows me to make the clothes out of a non itchy fabric as well as be loose and comfy. Also I find sewing relaxing and it helps me self regulate and destress. Also I just love people asking where I get my outfit from and then their reaction to me saying "I made it" is just priceless.

My latest sewing project consisting of a red waistcoat and matching split skirt. I used two Truly Victorian patterns to make this outfit. I wore the outfit to a wedding and got many complements.

Two piece set consisting of a waistcoat and skirt using a gorgeous brocade from Minerva Crafts. Still some slight fit issues but nothing the adjuster in the back can't cure, or wearing the skirt lower or wearing a belt won't cure. Overall I love how these two pieces turned out.

Deerstalker witchy hat courtesy of a tutorial and pattern by Bernadette Banner on YouTube and a cape made from vogue pattern 9288. Fabric came from the knit and stitch exhibition in 2019. Hit some stumbling blocks along the way with both - but managed to solve them in the end. I think next time I would like to use slightly thicker interfacing for the hat brim and also trace out separate lining layers for the cape so it can be lined since it was originally unlined in the pattern. Also make the cape out of a coating wool as this stuff is kinda thin and floppy and doesn't keep you cosy for cold winters. Good for spring and autumn though.
