  • VINTAGE for Day 13 of #miymarch19 . . #throwback to this white lace, 50’s inspired dress that I made once upon a time. . . Fashion is such a mood. 🙌 . 🎨 Sewing is a space that allows me to be fluid in my style and personality, depending on what is influencing me or moving me in that moment. . 🎨 Julia ten years ago, doesn’t look like Julia today and won’t look like Julia in ten years time, but they are all me. . 🎨 I live somewhere in the space between vintage and modern and I don’t limit myself to any particular style. But I will never forget that it is vintage fashion that first spiked my curiosity and then love of sewing and fashion. . 🎨 It is what got me thinking about my own personal and ever changing style, and embracing it as an outlet for creativity. . . 🎨 What was your style when you first started sewing? Is it the same today? . . . #sew #sewing #eveningdresses #vintage #vintageclothing #vintagedress #50s #weddingdress #whitelacedress #miymarch #juliabobbin #memade #sewersofinstagram

  • Day 6 of #miymarch19 is MOTIVATION 🧠 . 👍🏼 I don’t know about you, but being able to make your own clothes in the style that you like, and that actually FIT is a pretty epic motivator. . . 👖Last year was the time I worked up the courage to make my first ever pair of pants (jeans!) to fit my curvy lower half. . The success of these jeans has been a huge motivator to try more challenging garments and take the time to get the right fit. . . . #miymarch #maker #sewing #sew #sewingproject #jeans #blackjeans #ashjeans #juliabobbin #sewersofinstagram

  • Day 2 of #miymarch19 is RESCUED. . . I originally made this leather jacket with exposed zipper tape, as per the instructions for this (heavily modified by me) pattern. The zipper tape was a slightly different colour to the leather and it just looked ‘added on’ and unfinished. . 😭😭I was full of despair for this jacket that I had worked so hard on, only to be thwarted by a stinkin’ zipper! . . I finally came up with the idea of making bias strips of leather and top stitching them over the zipper tape, both concealing it and adding a feature to the jacket. And praise be, it did the trick. EMOTIONAL! . . I also managed to rescue some gorgeous scraps of silk from a previous garment to line this jacket. . . Now this little number is one of my favourite things I’ve made. . . Pattern is a modified version of the ‘biker vest’ by the awesome @stylearc . Leather from @lefflerleather . Silk lining from @wearethefabricstore . . And they lived happily ever after. ❤️❤️ . . . #sewing #sewersofinstagram #maker #miymarch #leatherjacket #leather #silklining #makersgonnamake #maker #fashionjacket
