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

When you go back to that unfinished project you started way back in the great year of 2020 & you don’t remember what you were doing with the pattern adjustments.🙄 I’m no good with UFO’s! How do you decide when to call it quits or jump back in? #sewingufo #badmemory #sewersofinstagram #sewingpatterns #missjsews #sewingproject

The smile you make when you find that blue pussy bow blouse you made from material scraps and buttons from your mums old shirt she was throwing away. Never throw away buttons or clasps! Don’t do it! 😀 I used an old pattern, New Look 6428 as a starting point, but I changed the collar & shoulder width to get the look I wanted. #thriftyfashion #missjsews #sustainablefashion #stashbusting #stashbuster #fabricscraps #pussybowblouse #officewear #secretarylook #secretarychic #patternhack #recycle #upcycle #reuse #sewistsofinstagram #repurpose #savemoney #avoidlandfill #sewing #handmadewardrobe #sewingtip

Wishing you well for the New Year!Here I am wearing my @burda_style Bustier Dress with Draped Detail 5/2011 #122A - that some might remember as @gertie18 bombshell dress to welcome 2021! 2020 was for me a mad one! A year I will always remember as a year of change. I’m grateful to see 2021, hoping to be healthy, creative, happy, successful and connect with the precious ones that have enriched my life thus far.❤️
