If you have been visiting here lately you may have noticed I have been quiet. In truth, I have been very busy! I have moved and have been renovating the new place! Check out the renovation videos over on my youtube channel or at my new website . Please check out my website Sews2Reap . All of my videos can be accessed from there along with any support materials and my merch shop!  

This is a two-parter because I show so many things during cutting and sewing.   Visit my shop!  and get sewing shirts and mugs

I love this pattern for a t-shirt with a little something extra. It fits great and is simple to make. A good one for sewists of any level! Change it up by using coordinating fabrics or a stripe that gets matched at the front seam.  👆  Check out my TeeSpring shop! 👆 I have mugs too 

The gorgeous linen used in this week's project is upcycled from a pair of sheets! The fabric was lovely to work with. This Burda pattern is a classic button-down with a traditional collar. Check out those shell buttons too! Sew with me and make a practical and classic shirt.  

  Here is a lovely vintage pattern that has been brought back! It is quick and easy, great for a new sewist. However, the simplicity makes it a great option for adding lace, using interesting fabrics, and playing around with trims.  Easily make a whole collection of new nighties with this pattern!

Pants can be hard to get a good fit and plus-size can be even more difficult.  This week I sew up Simplicity 9110, a cropped pant with patch pockets. This is a fast and attractive pattern, BUT it wasn't flattering for my figure. So, take a little journey with me as I work out a good look along with a good fit.  The video has the complete tutorial to make them according to the pattern, plus pattern alterations before and after sewing!  

This is a truly vintage-inspired project. The pattern is a Delores of St Paul from  1971. It is divided into two videos below. Video 1 is all about the pattern and the minor alterations I made to it. Take a look to see the pattern instructions and other vintage patterns in my collection. Plus, I show the lovely fabric I will be using for the project. In video 2 I sew it up and show  it off. The fabrics really gave this a vintage Hollywood look. 

  Step-by-step tutorial on this lovely slip plus lots of tips are in store this week! I cut double layers for the cups for a more secure bra area. This pattern comes in cup sizes too! The cami and slip are sewn exactly the same until the hem so you can make either one following this tutorial! Interested in more sew your own lingerie videos? Click here for my playlist!

  Welcome to pattern making class! We will start off with some basics that will be used all the time. I show how to move the dart ease to the hem, add additional fullness to the hem and add godets. All the patterns I make are done in half scale. The resources video is linked below and in the video. I think it really helps to see how the patterns look when sewn up. So the end of the video shows our work in muslin. Now go forth and create! My TeeSpring Shop :  Sewing With Stacy Facebook Community:  

  This week's project is a lovely racerback bralette.  This pattern includes sizes 32 to 42 with cup sizes A through DD! With all those options in one pattern, it is easy to get a custom fit.  Watch the video below for step-by-step directions.  Looking for supplies for sewing lingerie?

Don't laugh, I love playing Ring Fit Adventure. I struggle with the leg strap staying in place though. Even if you aren't working out with a video game this pattern is a keeper. It has a cute style, quick to sew and I show you how to add pockets. Before you cut it out watch my review. I found an error in mine that was easy to fix (if you haven't cut it out yet).

  A simple camisole is a staple foundation garment. It can be worn under other tops, sweaters, with a jacket, or as part of a pajama set. This pattern includes a slip, cami, and shorts and comes with all sizes in the envelope. This is a great beginner project that doesn't require much fabric and no fasteners!

Simple and fashionable is just my style! This Simplicity pattern is a great beginner pattern but looks interesting and current.  This week I make the pants, next week the top. I added a little pocket for my phone too, because pants without pockets... Nope.  

I have made this pattern so many times! It is flattering and fast. My go-to when I want a new little top. This is a project you can make in one sitting but will be your favorite new top! I have some cute new designs in my TeeSpring shop too! Check it out!  

If you are looking for a great multi-season jacket this may be the one! This sweater can be buttoned up for a cowl neck. Left open it drapes in a flattering way. I really like this pattern! Watch at the end to see how I made some changes to the finishes that elevated the look! PS. It is a fast sew too! After wearing this a few times I decided it needed a little revision. The end of the video has that plus buttons and buttonholes.   

Napkins are a favorite handmade item I love to make for gifts. Doing a mitered corner elevates the look and quality.  

This week's video is a quick tutorial on making drawstring gift bags! These bags are a great way to use up scraps or personalize a present. Get a jump on the holidays and make some this weekend.   

  I L💗VE this dress! It has been a while since I have made a project with lots of little details. The collar, button placket, drawstring sleeves and waist, and the hi-ow skirt; this dress has it all. It is flattering and so easy to wear. Did I mention that I love this pattern? Timestamps in the description on YouTube hi-lo skirt

Let's make a transitional dress (or top)! Simplicity 9012 is a loosely fitted raglan sleeve pattern with an elastic neck and sleeve at the elbow. It is soft, flowy, and easy to wear. I made the view A dress with the View B sleeve. This is another easy project but the interesting details make it look designer! I made the belt and I show it on, but I won't likely be wearing it. I think I look like a sack of potatoes tied in the middle, to quote my grandmother. :) Timestamps in the Youtube description   This is another fast and easy project, but it doesn't look like it.  Sewing With Stacy Facebook Page YouTube Channel
