  • ❌❌ FABRIC GIVEAWAY❌❌ . I know what you’re thinking - this must be a trick. Julia Bobbin doesn’t smile in photos. . Fair. . What IS REAL however, is that I have TWO METRES leftover of this STUNNING stretch-sequin fabric, just sitting in a corner. AND NO BODY PUTS SEQUINS IN A CORNER #popculturereference . 🖤And I thought, seeing as I’ve already made my sequinned dreams come true with this #eveninggown for #Frocktails why not share the love and let someone else have the opportunity to destroy their carpet with this beautiful, beautiful sequinned fabric?!!#worthit . 🖤 This sewing community is so generous with their knowledge and support, and I love the idea that someone else can use this fabric and feel a little JOY. . 🖤 SO ALL YOU HAVE TO DO is comment on this post and one person in the comments will be randomly chosen on Monday, January 21. . 🖤 Open to all my followers ANYWHERE the mailman can go . 🖤 Can we also just take a moment to acknowledge that I managed to go this far into a giveaway post without making reference to Oprah?

  • TUTORIAL - HOW I altered this pattern to make the sleeves even BIGGER. Because: “Go big or go home” - Aristotle . . . ✖️I made this using pattern @burda_style 04/2018 #105 ✖️The bottom of this sleeve is gathered and fitted into the cuff, so you can go as big as you want. ✖️Draw three (or more!) straight lines through your pattern ✖️ Cut along the lines leaving a small hinge at the top of the pattern. ✖️ Spread out the pattern evenly(ish). The top of the pattern remains the same size but the rest of the sleeve (the part that is gathered) grows. ✖️Stick onto tracing paper and cut it out! Can we just take a moment to appreciate those flat felled seams and the contrasting sleeve plackets and cuffs? Ok thanks. 🥰 . . . #diy #tutorial #sewingtutorial #sew #sewing #organzasilk #sleeves #couture #blouse #silkblouse
