I'm looking for a good pattern for a chemise.

Any of my seamstress friends have one they like?

Fabric will be linen.

End result something along these lines. I can adjust the sleeve length and curve myself if I can find a good pattern for the body.

I found this online and can adjust length but I've never sewn in gussets like this before.

Making another waistcoat using my tried and trsted pattern. First time using suedette fabric. It feels a bit thicker than most of the stuff I've used before, but man does it take a good top stitch!
(The photo of course can't show you how strokeably tactile it is, this is going to take me twice as long to see it up as I keep stopping to check out the nap!)

Just finished making a linen summer dress. It‘s comfortable and the colour I want, fits, and won’t shrink or fall apart. This is more than I can say for most of the clothing I’ve ever bought. #sewing #dressmaking

I’m following in the footsteps of my 3 x great grandmother Mary Hopkin. Mary was a dressmaker, a common occupation for unmarried women in the 1800s. Here are the occupations of her fellow villagers

Fiddly sewing to get heather's coat finished. Sewing on all these decorative bits, somehow simultaneously wonky and unevenly spaced, and looking straight and even - depends which bit I'm looking at. Hoping no one will notice if its wonky. #sewing #dressmaking

#transpride dress is finished. and fuck did the gender euphoria on this one hit like a truck. now to clean up my workspace

I may have missed #pride this year. But #sewing with my Dad's old overlocker made those princess seams nice and quick.

I'm handsewing clothes again! This time, it's going to be a dress - I have no idea if it is going to work or even look good, so please send positive vibes my way!
