Here’s the next draft of the wrapped t-shirt #sewingpattern I’m working on. In this version, I separated the two front bodice pieces along the bottom, and have them attached to the side seams with a smaller tab (is that the word I want?). The assembly is a little more complex than what I normally offer, and there’s some kind of pulling happening at the side seams where everything attaches, and I can’t figure out how to fix it (might just be fabric that’s too lightweight, or it might be structural). I like where it’s going though! If I can fix the pulling issue (if anyone knows a solution please DM me!), it should be ready to rock. I’m trying to push through to complete this pattern before I lose momentum again and end up on the couch with yet another unfinished project (there are several)! . . . #sewing #patterndrafting #tshirt #sewyourown #handmadewardrobe #ethicalfashion #wraptop #madeincanada #maker #stayhomeandsew #fashiondesigner #canadiandesigner #amiescott #amiescottsews #torontofashion #makeyourownclothes

This is the first draft of a new #sewingpattern that I’m working on. It’s a t-shirt with a wrapped bodice front and a couple of sleeve variations. Problems with the first draft: 1) The shoulders are too wide. 2) The double layers on the bodice front make it too bulky to just double fold the hem, and there’s some stretch issues with a serged/single fold hem. 3) It’s a bit too low cut! I know that some of you are fine with that, but I think it’s probably too low for a casual shirt. #backtothedrawingboard #sewing #patterndrafting #fashiondesigner #canadiandesigner #keepingbusy #makeyourownclothes #sewyourown #whomademyclothes #amiescott #amiescottsews #fashion #toronto #etsyshop

Have you been doing much #sewing these last few weeks? I sure haven’t, so no judgment from me! I’m over here sitting on a pile of dresses that might have to wait until next year’s market season, if that even happens, and I’m also going through a “why bother” moment as well. Like, how badly do I need to make more products to pump into the world? The world isn’t going to miss yet another local fashion designer’s Spring line. We’re already oversaturated with #ethicallymade product pushing for unnecessary products that many people can’t actually afford. However, sewing your own clothing is pretty affordable once you get some practice lessons under your belt, and the knowledge just might save your butt from some weird apocalyptic wardrobe choices (pillowcase shirt with shredded pants with shoelace belts anyone? If so, please send pics!). These shirt patterns have been selling pretty good this week. Practical Spring fashion options for your stay-at-home needs! . . . #stayhome #stayhomeandsew #sewyourown #imakemyownclothes #sew #slowfashion #learnhowtosew #makedoandmend #amiescott #amiescottsews

Are you doing any #sewing these days? I was pumped for pattern drafting last week, but now I’m just pumped for sitting on the couch. Crazy days, guys. Anyway, once I get my mojo back, I’ll have more sizes available in this navy floral men’s button up shirt. . . . #sewingproject #menswear #mensfashion #buttonupshirt #buttondownshirt #slowfashion #icantgetoffthecouch #amiescott #amiescottsews #etsyshop #onlineshopping #shopsmall
