I make my own clothes and love to see what others are making. Also politics, dogs, food, science. Basically a Renaissance woman.
I'm making a (muslin) thing! So excited to have survived the fitting, welt pockets, lapels and collar. This is Jasika from Closet Core patterns. Planning to make lightweight twill and wool versions.

Spouse and self have decided to write a book entitled "101 places that your dog will hate," based on our camping adventures with the long-suffering Angus. Chapter 1 is our current location, Black Rock Mountain State Park in Georgia, close to 3" of rain today and wind gusts in the low 40 mph range.

Listening to @warnock.senate.gov at his Atlanta Town Hall this afternoon, and appreciating his service.

This morning 's moment of peace. The Edisto River at Givhans Ferry State Park, SC. Cypress knees make everything better.

Cape Hatteras, NC this morning. Don't let the bad guys take your capacity for joy.

I'm Susan (Suzee on a lot of SM accounts). About 10 years ago I started making my own clothes and that's made me into a much more creative and curious person. My sewing is sporadic, I work a lot. But I love seeing your makes!

Here's a self-drafted skirt and top I made last year for a big event.

Sometimes a $1 thrift store silky remnant just calls to me from the closet and says, "I want to be a slip!" Who am I to say no? Pattern Union #flawlesscamisole. #sewsky #sewing

First make of 2025 would have been the last make of 2024 if it hadn't taken three days of effort to realize I'd mixed up the front and back leg pieces 😔😔😔. Deets in reply.

A mash up of Itch to Stitch #MontanaShirt and Tilly and the Buttons #RosaShirt, with pearl snaps!

IG has been my sewing/creative inspo for years, and it's tough to leave. Hoping BlueSky can help to fill the void. Posting some pics so the algorithm knows I'm here. Satin #ChiaraPants, pattern by Tessuti Fabrics, wore these to a lovely wedding in Dec. 2023.
