Hello Sewing Friends! It’s Sharon with Sharon Sews with my latest Fabricista make – a denim coat  for spring.  Denim is a wardrobe staple for many of us, and even more so this year with denim on denim looks coming back in style.  The denim I used is a medium weight cotton/lycra blend with about a 20% stretch selvage to selvage.  Fabric Mart always does an amazing job photographing and describing their fabrics, yet I still gasped in delight when I opened the package containing my denim.  It was even better than I had anticipated. This fabric would have worked well for ..read more

Hey friends - I am so excited to have been invited to participate as a Fabric Mart Fabricista this month!  This year is the year I challenge my sewing skills.   I have wanted a moto jacket for some time.  Not just any moto jacket but one that has a classic and timeless style. I saw the Dana Marie Moto Jacket pattern on the Fabric Mart website and knew that was the one.  The fabric I used was a beautiful porcelain white/black/silver 100% polyester plaid weave boucle suiting.    Remember when I said I wanted to challenge my sewing skills?  ? This fabric w ..read more

This project is one that I have been thinking about for a very long time. Okay so in reality I have been thinking about expanding past my 1540's Florentine Ren for a while. And with the help of some quality linen from Fabric Mart I may have just done that. In the girliest way possible. This dress reminds me of the opening scene to the animated Sleeping Beauty which makes sense because the clothing is based on the same time period. But this doesn't make me feel any less like a noble lady who stepped out of the Bayeux Tapestry and into real life. This general 14th-century-inspired dress is ..read more

Made by a Fabricista: Covering the Basics

I have been thinking a lot about my everyday wardrobe and I quickly realized a basic thing that was missing…bodysuits! I had been working on a mash up of Mimi G simplicity pattern 9701, Madalynne’s simplicity pattern 8435 and my favorite Zara RTW bodysuit. I got really close to perfecting it and then took a break but once I got my hands on this terracotta rayon/spandex jersey knit I knew it was time to give it another go.  I absolutely love the neckline on this bodysuit which is a detail from Mimi G’s 9701 dress pattern. And I decided to pair it with some me-made jeans that I’ve had for ..read more

Made By A Fabricista: Sewing the True Bias Mave Skirt!

Hello sewing friends! Do you have a favorite garment to sew? My favorite garment to sew is a dress, probably because I prefer to wear dresses. However, this time I chose to venture into sewing a skirt to match a few blouses I have sewn recently. I chose to make the True Bias Mave Skirt in Onyx 100% rayon twill shirting fabric.  The pattern called for wide fabric (58” was recommended), and this fabric was only 48” but I made it work by cutting the last tier x3 instead of x2.  The pattern has numerous versions you can make if your fabric is not 58” wide, such as a mini version or a m ..read more

At the start of the new year I like to reflect on how I will go about my makes for the year.  I noticed this year a lot of people created a Make Nine chart of the 9 main looks they want to make for the year.  For me I had taken a hiatus from sewing towards the end of last year and was fighting to get my sewjo at the beginning of the year.  Making this blog forced me to sit down in front of my machine and these pieces are the first full sewing projects to kick off my year. Starting off I did not know exactly what it was I wanted to sew but I knew I loved working with denim so I ..read more

With resolutions to spend more time in the gym this year, I thought it was a perfect opportunity to sew up some new tracksuits for my girls! Fabric Mart had a gorgeous collection of Donni branded organic cotton sweatshirt fleece available, so I decided to get the lapis lazuli blue, and lilac colorways.  While a bit more time consuming to make than a standard sweatshirt and pants, I decided to use the Jalie Danaëlle hoodie and Zoom joggers patterns for this project. These two patterns have lots of pieces, making them perfect for color blocking - though they also work equally well in a si ..read more

I've always loved long flowy dresses that skim the floor, no matter what the season is. However, particularly around the Springtime!
