That moment you concede that your tailors dummy ain’t nothing like you at all! She’s the adjustable type-I put a cotton cover over her. I use her for draping and pattern cutting and adjust my patterns accordingly. Let me know if you think I should take the time to sculpt her into my image!☺️ #dummy #tailorsdummy #nothighgap #sewing #DIYlife #missjsews #thick #dressform #sewingtools #mannequin #sewersofinstagram #draping #patterncutting #adjustoform #sewistsofinstagram

This is Teddy and Dolly. I love them. Why? Because Mummy made them! Well she made Dolly’s dress for me and Mum taught me how to sew and knit. My mum, even though she was poor, still managed to pay for a short course to learn how to make this entire Teddy bear for me. I remember when he was bigger than me! But that’s Mum, always thinking about me. She was not a selfish sewer. Mum doesn’t sew anymore, but she is my major supporter and adviser for me when I do. Remember, when someone makes you something, be grateful and humble and focus on the love and respect for YOU that they put into that item. Happy Mother’s Day to my Mum and to anyone else who identifies in that role!❤️. #mothersday #notselfishsewing #iamblessed #toys #homemade #mum #mom #teddy #dollyclothes #motheringsunday #missjsews #bestfriend

Happy International Women’s Day! I wish that with a click of my finger I could have people stop putting women against against each other. Violence against women would cease. Misogyny and misogynoir would become historical terms. Little girls will be praised for being smart. No one should have to feel that their natural appearance is anything less than beautiful. ‘Be kind’ will apply to all women, even the ones who break the rules, take up space, and speak their truth. Women’s voices should be heard and respected!❤️ #internationalwomensday #missjsews #abetterday #iwish #bekind

Is it Spring yet? I’m wearing my white dress that I adapted from Vogue Patterns Easy options V8648. I omitted the several seams in the waistband & added a pleat detail to the sleeve. I fully lined it. Is it just me, or do regular shoes not fit like they did a year ago? 😂 #voguepatterns #v8648 #memade #littlewhitedress #pencildress #sewing #officewear #handmadewardrobe #missjsews #missjsewsusesapattern #tightshoes #headwrap #sewersofinstagram #sewingbloggers #fashionphotography
