    I envisioned an oversized shirt would go super wel I envisioned an oversized shirt would go super well with the shorts with front slits I shared the other day and I had bought the #vikisews_cynthia a while ago and it definitely delivered. I changed a few things about the pattern but only in the construction process. Added the side slits to match the shorts and changed the button placement. It was my first time sewing sleeve plackets and it went really well. Surprisingly easy. Every time I try out a new technique it feels like I unlocked a skill 😅 I’m glad that the first time I did it it was with such an easy fabric to sew with. I’m curious to see how it looks style with my high waisted trousers ✨ Tbh I’m feeling a bit scattered brain so I don’t know if I want to say anything else. So see ya! Pattern: cynthia blouse by @vikisews.inc @vikisews.patterns (sizes 34 to 52) Fabric: 100% tencel twill ref: Funky by @divazus You can use the code ‘COOLSTITCHES’ for 10% off your order ✨ [photo ID: Nicole, a white young thin woman is standing. The photos feature a close up of her body and she’s wearing a olive green oversized shirt and matching olive green shorts. Throughout the slides there’s detailed shots of the shirt like it’s side slits, sleeve plackets and collar.]
    I shrank my black shorts with white topstitching s I shrank my black shorts with white topstitching so I had to make a replacement. Not quite the same thing in terms of colour buuut I’m thinking about making an oversized button up in the same fabric. It’s a beautiful green tencel that’s flowy but has weight to it. The fabric was gifted to me by @divazus and it’s the ref: Funky. On these ones I changed the construction a bit to make them neater on the inside. I think they turned out lovely 💕 (if you want to see a bit of the inside details swipe through the photos 🤗). You can use the code ‘COOLSTITCHES’ for 10% off your order on @divazus ✨ Photo ID: Nicole, a white thin young woman is standing. You can see her pelvic and part of her torso area. She’s wearing olive green elastic waist shorts with from slits and a black top.
    Told you all today on the stories that this will b Told you all today on the stories that this will be my next pattern and so many of you showed excitement about it which gives me even more confidence to keep working on it ✨ I’ve never really been a dress person but this one makes me feel so comfortable. Hope you folks love it as much as I do when it comes out 💕 Also, really digging the calico on this one. This version is a toile that I’ve been working on today to nail down the construction process and I’m not totally sure, should I dye it or leave it? 🤷‍♀️ Photo ID: Nicole, a white thin young woman is wearing a beige gathered dress. You can see detail of the upper are of the dress in the first slide. On the second one there’s a detail shot of the bodice of the dress. And the last slide is a full body view of the dress.
    Two of my most worn makes ✨ These were actually Two of my most worn makes ✨ These were actually one of the first bottoms I made and they’re definitely the shorts I wear the most. They’re the @mccallpatterncompany #m7962 (sizes 4-20) I’ve made them last year so I can’t remember exactly the mods I did but I think I just graded down at the waist as usual! The top is the forever favourite #antoinetteshirt (sizes 34 to 48) by @isainstitches 💕 need to make more of these!!! Photo ID: Nicole, a white thin young woman is standing while the sunlight shines through the blinds. She’s wearing a white shirt with a gathered detail in the collar and beige high waisted pleated shorts.
    I’ve been learning brioche knitting since yester I’ve been learning brioche knitting since yesterday because I’m attempting to make #thefluffycroptop by @lialykke and let me tell you… in the beginning I was just so confused but it’s the type of thing where once you figure it out it makes all the sense. Then I got to the increases and I ruined it and had to start again. Do you get unmotivated once you have to unravel? I usually feel like I have a renewed motivation to make it better next time! I’m almost at the increase stage again and I’m dreading it a bit but let’s see how it goes 🤷‍♀️
    Made some trousers that actually fit!! I used th Made some trousers that actually fit!! I used the #adelinepants pattern by @vikisews.inc and changed the design by making one pleat instead of two. This change messes with the balance so the pleats aren’t super straight 😩 you live and you learn 🤷‍♀️ I still love them and the color and fabric is so beautiful so I’ll definitely get a lot of wear out of them! Pattern: Adeline pants by @vikisews.patterns #vikisews_аделина Fabric: greyish green suiting fabric (don’t know the composition because it’s a remnants I got at a local fabric shop) [Photo ID: Nicole, a white young thin woman is standing against a workbench. You can see her legs and she’s wearing greyish green pleated trousers and a white T-shirt.]
    I tried but they didn’t turn out like I imagined I tried but they didn’t turn out like I imagined 😅 anyway, here’s a better look at the dress! I swear it’s more beautiful in real life than what it translates on these pictures 👀 Anyway, I’m going to make a top out of this pattern because I think it’ll look so beautiful with high waisted pleated trousers so keep an eye out for that ✨ Pattern: self drafted Fabric: 100% viscose bought at a local fabric shop [Photo ID: Nicole, a white young thin woman is wearing a strappy dress in a black and white floral print. She’s in the woods so you can see trees on the background. ]
    Currently on my needles is the #puffngowrapper by Currently on my needles is the #puffngowrapper by @spektakelstrik and the light this morning was too beautiful for me not to take a snap! In other news Instagram is working to stop being a photo sharing app… anyone has any recommendations for other apps that serve the only purpose we’re all here for? 😅
    I made a dress and… I feel really comfortable in I made a dress and… I feel really comfortable in it? It just fits like a glove and I’m proud! Something else I’d like to get comfortable is getting out of the house to take pictures because this dress deserves a flower field, not a white wall! Maybe I’ll give it a shot in the weekend? Let’s see 🤷‍♀️ Fabric: 100% viscose, bought at a local store Pattern: self drafted
    Sorry that I’m forcing you to see my boobs but h Sorry that I’m forcing you to see my boobs but here we go 👀 I’m on a swimwear journey. All of my old bikinis were… old. All stretched out and a different colour than what they were in the beginning. On this journey I was unable to find swimwear fabric that I actually liked outside of solid colours. And when you can’t find something what do you do? You make it 🤷‍♀️ @divazus asked me if I’d like to give their customizable fabric a go. So you can create a design and they print it onto fabric! I made a few designs and those of you who voted chose the one you liked best which was the blue floral! That’s the one I asked them to print buuuuut I really liked the gingham so I asked to print both 👀 I thought that as they where the same colours I could make a reversible bikini and it wouldn’t look weird! Really love this service of theirs and if you end up getting it I would love to see the design you come up with! You can use the code ‘COOLSTITCHES’ for 10% off ✨ And then @swimstylepatterns gifted me one of their patterns!! I chose their #baileebikini ✨ I wanted a style that I could make reversible and this one looked great! As I wanted to make it reversible I changed the construction a bit and added the ruched detail in the center. Fabric: “we print your design” Lycra by @divazus Pattern: bailee bikini by @swimstylepatterns (sizes xs to xxxl)
    It’s finally here!!! You can now get the #JOAN It’s finally here!!! You can now get the #JOANTANK pattern on my store (link in bio) 🎉 Before anything I want to talk to you about the sizing. The pattern currently is available from size 0-16 US (bust: 76-124.5 cm / 30-49 inches). On this pattern, and the ones that’ll come in the future I’m outsourcing the grading and the expansion of the sizing is something that I’ve already talked with them. If you’d rather wait for the expansion before supporting my work I totally get it. Or even not support it at all because sizes for everyone shouldn’t be an expansion, should be standard. Truly understand it. If you’d like to get to know the pattern either way, here it is 🤗 The Joan Tank is a tank top with bustier like topstitching details. It’s named after Joan of Arc because of the armor like design. VIEW A: – RACER BACK TANK TOP; – SCOOP HEM; – TOPSTITCHING WITH BUSTIER SHAPING; – TIGHT FITTING; – CROPPED LENGTH. VIEW B: VIEW B – STRAPPY TANK TOP; – FULLY LINED; – TOPSTITCHING WITH BUSTIER SHAPING; – TIGHT FITTING; – CROPPED LENGTH. Really hope you enjoy it 💕
    So excited about the release of the #JOANTANK tomo So excited about the release of the #JOANTANK tomorrow 🎉 The pattern has two views but this one was very unplanned. While I was sewing the bottom part of view A I realised that if I added straps it would be such a great staple strappy top but with interesting seam lines. The best part about it? It’s fully lined so it can be a reversible top. Two in one is always a great idea in my book! Even though this view was more of an afterthought I think many of you will love it 💕 See you tomorrow for the release! [PHOTO ID: Nicole, a young white thin woman is standing against a white background. You can see the upper part of her body and she’s wearing a light grey tank top and black highwaisted jeans.]

The Twisty Crop Top is a (as the name says) crop top. A simple basic with a twist in the back. It features thick straps and a square neckline. Perfect for hot summer days and a quick project that you can make over and over again since it’s super fast and easy! The pattern is currently available in the sizes 34 to 48. I’m aware of how not size inclusive it is but I’m still learning about grading for bigger sizes so please bare with me!

You can find the pattern here: https://cool-stitches.com/shop/twisty-crop-top-pdf-pattern-a4-letter/ *for personal use only.

The pattern is currently available in the sizes S, M, L and XL. I’m aware of how not size inclusive it is but I’m still learning about grading for bigger sizes so please bare with me! Oh, you want to know why this one is called Eva? The design is inspired by Evangelion. I feel like an humanoid robot when i wear this one which i find pretty cool.

    Hey again! It took me a bit more than i expected but here's a video on how to hack the free pattern i released a while ago. In this one i'll show you how to change the neckline of the pattern and how to create a button placket! The pattern was super well received and i loved seeing all of your versions on Instagram. Keep them coming ❤️ One of the versions i saw they turned it into a dress and i'll show you how to do that in my next video. After releasing a free pattern i got quite a few people asking if i had paypal so that they could pay for the pattern and as i'm not super confident in my drafting techinques i don't feel (yet!!) very confortable charging. So here's what i did: i created a website and there you can get the pattern for whatever price you want , even nothing if you want it for free :) super excited about having a website, feeling super legit. free pattern: https://cool-stitches.com/shop/elliot-front-tie-top-pdf-pattern/ website: https://cool-stitches.com/ head over to instagram if you like my stuff. I'm there everyday https://www.instagram.com/coolstitches/ bye bye ❤️

It’s my first time making a sewing pattern in digital format so please be kind! I know that it isn’t size inclusive at all and I’m really sorry but I’m still learning about grading patterns. I’ve also made this top in a floral fabric and it turned out super cute. You can check that one out on my Instagram!
