The Sewing-for-fun! Last Sunday I made a design sketch of a christmas dress, made the pattern and cut the fabric. And yesterday I finally sewed it all up. And here it is: My Christmassy Christmas Dress: The fabric is this Burgundy (well, they call it bordeaux) cotton...

Oh. I really wish I had some more tissue fitting issues to show you. But I haven’t really received any from you guys (I hope it’s because everything is fitting well?) and I can’t post the pictures from the fitting books – as that would be a...

Hey everybody! Have you got your crotch curve right? And what about the crotch length and the hip width? How is it going? Anyway. As you might be able to see, I’ve had to retrace my pattern from the last post. No, actually the pictures in the last post...

We are ready to start fitting out trousers. And I’m about to post some very unflattering pictures of myself (tiny bit uncomfortable here!) If you’ve only just joined this Trouser Fit-along, go back and read the first posts (Here, here and here. I am using...

We are ready for part #2 of the trouser fit-along. I do have some photo problems, though, and I will add (new) photos as soon as I can! Right. Crotch curves and Body spaces. This can be a somewhat controversial subject – I have heard people getting really angry...

HI everybody. I’m back from partying all night (and nursing the hangovers that followed) and ready to tackle those trousers. Before we move on, can I just make sure to say that: All the steps that I write about in this fit-along are just my way of fitting...

Yes! Finally the pattern, all the pictures and the step by step instructions came together and I am very proud to present to you: MariaDenmark 301 – Winnie Wide Legged Trousers E-book Pattern: I love these trousers. They are flattering whether you have...

Trousers are relatively simple to sew, but they can be a nightmare to fit, because there are so many curves and spaces that go together. No pattern will fit all people the same – there are so many variables in a trouser pattern that to get one to fit you well,...

We are almost there. We are getting ready to trouser fit. I am working on the finishing touches of the instructions for the pattern, doing pretty things to the line drawings and generally getting all the final pieces together before I can release the Wide Legged...

I mentioned before that I have been thinking about joining the growing movement of pledgers, pledging to not buy any clothing for a period of time. This self-employing thing is not really giving me that much spending money, and in light of the recent discussions about...

Okay. I’m waaay behind on everything I want to tell you – so let’s just do a quick catching up post: 1. New Podcast Episode is up. You can listen to me and Tini talking about sewing, knitting, our notions, autumn traditions (and a Danish dessert)...

What a crazy busy week I’ve had! I love travelling and experiencing new places – but I always underestimate how much I have to catch up when I get home (and the laundry is still not caught up…) While I was in Barcelona I got a new niece. My brother...
