Wow how fantastic does the McCalls 7864 jumpsuit looks as a maternity option? Thanks to @jess_sews_clothes for this serious bit of sewing inspiration..

We saw some fantastic dresses popping up over Christmas! This beautiful Vogue Patterns 9253 has been made by @sew.h_factor in a wonderful rusty hue.

Wow what a great make, can you believe this is his FOURTH pair of Vogue 8988 trousers? @bradschultzdesign we salute you!

New year new #hackalong! Check out this fantastic make from @stitchodyssey who’s used the Simplicity 8700 and made it into a raincoat!! Like all sewing projects not all go to plan, accepting the things that didn’t go right as a learning curve.

We have loved seeing some of the things you’ve created having been inspired by the Hackalong! Check out this rather fantastic outfit made by @sewitwithdi using the Vogue Patterns 1642. It looks wonderful.

The fantastic @portialawrie from Makery has turned the Simplicity 8701 into these awesome cropped trousers for the Hackalong. He love the pocket placement!

Don’t know about you but we LOVE a shirtdress. This is the McCalls 7838 made by @stylesinseams – can we take moment to appreciate those sleeves.

This week on the the Simplicity Hack-along we’ve got not one, not two but three hacks from the lovely ladies at @patternpals !! They’ve used the Simplicity 8700 and transformed it into three totally different makes.

Absolutely loving this look from @theravelout – she’s used the Vogue Patterns 9182 to make this fantastic dress in a suiting fabric.
