A pile of freshly dried cotton and linen fabrics 🧺

I soaked these natural fibres in soy milk for about 30 hours to create a binding ready for some natural dyeing. The soy milk can help create bolder colours 🌟

This was something new and exciting! I made my own soy milk following a great video tutorial by @billynouapparel

I’m planning to play around with 🥑 dyeing, onion skins and some bark from the back yard! Stay tuned.

If you want to read more about my soy milk process you can read my latest blog post at makylacreates.com 💌

Enjoying the afternoon sunshine in my latest makes

Enjoying the afternoon sunshine in my latest makes after a day of pattern making 🌞

I made a #roscoeblouse in a sheer white cotton. I added a front button placket and small shell buttons.

This top has already been worn so many times I love the fit so much! I’m super excited to make another soon.

I also finished making some beige linen #pomonapants in the shorts version because it’s still so hot here in NZ! I’ve been wearing them all day and I can’t believe how comfy they are.

I made a sample and found the crotch length to be too short for me. I made some pattern adjustments and managed to get them fitting perfectly on the second sample.
(You can see that adjustments in the last photo)

I’m currently drafting a new pattern called the Chloe dress & I’m so excited to share more with you soon. This pattern will have 2 bodice options and 2 skirt options plus I’m planning to add some hacks to my blog as well! For now it’s back to sewing samples 🪡✨

Happy Saturday!!! (or Friday where you may be!) ✨

Here’s a pic of me wearing our blouse one top in a lightweight linen. It’s slightly sheer which I really love. I find I don’t really wear my blouse with the waist tie but I decided to twist and knot it at the back 🤍

This is a great pattern to practice gathering if it’s new to you. There are gathers along the back yoke, front shoulders and the sleeves. Can you tell I love this detail!

I also added some tips in the sewing instructions on how to sew a curved hem without breaking a sweat 👍🏼

You can find the digital pattern at makylacreates.com 💌

Today I’m planning to sew my first pair of linen #pomonapants which I’m really excited about! I’ve made a few adjustments to the pattern to fit me a little better so wish me luck!

What are you planning to sew today? 🤩

Cosy linen heat pack tutorial is up on the blog 🤍

Use up those linen scraps that are just sitting in your spare fabric basket!

Fill these with rice from the pantry & a bit of peppermint or lavender essential oil to help relax your muscles ✨

The best part is you can make these any shape and size to suit you!

This is a super easy sewing project. You just need to sew straight lines 👍🏼

Happy sewing x

Just me wearing my epic new top/jacket/puffy sleev

Just me wearing my epic new top/jacket/puffy sleeves!

This is the #zwcroppedshirt pattern by @birgittahelmersson but I followed the gathered sleeve hack on her blog!

This was so much fun to cut out and sew together...thank you @birgittahelmersson for creating such a beautiful pattern.

I took a snap of my scraps from this project (scroll across to see). This is a zero waste pattern but I snagged the last of the roll of khaki linen from @spotlightstores

Im going to use the scraps up in the quilt I’m working on so I don’t waste anything 💚

What are you sewing over the weekend?
