Oh hey 👋 Just keeping it casual in a low maintenance look for #bpsewvember EVERYDAY 🤫 🧵 NEW BLOG POST 🧵 is up (link in bio) and it’s all about this sequinned gown that I made and wore to this year’s #frocktails 🧁 Turns out, when I start sewing a lot of ‘cake’, all that #sewfrosting bubbles up inside me until I start vomiting sequins (surprisingly harder to clean than actual vomit). 🖤 If you don’t know what I mean when I talk about ‘cake’ and ‘frosting’, you can head over to @closetcase.patterns And @truebias who are a hosting a ‘Cake Vs Frosting’ sewing challenge. Thanks to the exceptionally capable @lightningmcstitch and @ldjdesign Who organised a fantastic @melbournefrocktails this year! 📷 pictured with my fabulous friend @jorthknits 📸 photos by the talented @samaracliffordphoto - - - - #melbournefrocktails #blackdress #eveninggown #sequindress #sew #sewing #memade #juliabobbin #fashion
You guys, there’s a photo of me and I’m actually smiling in it AND I’m not holding my hair and I feel like I don’t know who I am anymore. You might want to stay off the internet for the next week because it’s about to get #frocktails spammy over here, and I have no self control. ❤️ Pictured here with the bombshell @jorthknits in our beautiful city of #melbourne 📸 photo wizardry by the one and only @samaracliffordphoto - - - #juliabobbin #melbournefrocktails #blackdress #eveninggown #sew #sewing #sequindress #sewfrosting
I’ve been sewing more basics lately, and I’ve been loving it. 🧵But I relapsed into my evening-wear-addiction for last night’s Melbourne Frocktails. Because, sequins. Because, shiny. Because I can’t be helped. 🖤 Here’s a little look at my finished dress; the video doesn’t quite do the sparkles justice. Underlined + lined + appliqué + button loops + 18 buttons down the centre back + horsehair braid hem. Phew! Such a great night with such fabulously dressed ladies. A big thank you to the ladies at @melbournefrocktails for putting on such a superb night!! ❤️ More pics and details coming soon! - - - #sew #sewing #bpsewvember #sewfrosting #sequindress #eveninggown #blackdress #frocktails #melbournefrocktails #juliabobbin
Me - “This year I’m going to sew more casual clothes” Also me:
Day 6 of #bpsewvember COOL ‘Cold’ is what I’ll likely be, when I wear this transparent, silk organza blouse out into the wild.

Day 4 of #bpsewvember is CONTRAST Miss Maggie Rabbit is all about that contrast life. She likes to be sassy in a purple woollen coat with white top-stitching and buttons. 👠 The red felt boots and floral liberty dress all clash in that wonderful way that just works #fashion ✂️ This lovely rabbit and her boots/clothes are all hand-stitched by me, with the exception of the dress which I made with my sewing machine. #softie pattern by @aliciapaulson - - - #sew #sewing #libertyoflondon #missmaggierabbit #juliabobbin #handstitching
#bpsewvember Day 2 LUXURIOUS Recently I started volunteering for a wonderful organisation called Dream Stitches. 💛 Here we have the pleasure of teaching refugee and migrant women how to sew. The program, which runs weekly, provides sewing and overlocking machines, patterns and fabric, has an attached crèche for women with children and is followed by an English class for those who want to further their learning ❤️❤️❤️ Today I got to meet the wonderful Reverend Kate Prowd, who commissioned some of the students and volunteers to make her robes. A FEMALE Bishop wearing couture, machine and hand-embroidered silk Cope, Stole and Mitre made by women. That’s not just luxurious, that’s pretty awesome. 😍 Revd Kate Prowd is the Anglican Bishop of Oodthenong Episcopate, which covers parishes in the northern and western growth areas of Melbourne and Geelong. She is also the second WOMAN to serve as Bishop in the Melbourne Diocese. Today was a great day! - - - #sew #sewing #silk #anglican #melbourne #volunteer
Hi! #bpsewvember is on us again! I like sewing, #obvs , and anything that involves creating. Other skills include reverse parking, clapping at the EXACT moment traffic lights turn green🚦 , eating mangoes without getting sticky hands 🖐🏼 and being able to operate iPhones with perpetually cracked screens. 📲 Nice to meet you! - - - #sew #sewing #juliabobbin #hi
