Jodi's Sewing Room

I'm still doing just haven’t been posting. I have been wearing me mades everyday but I have been changing into ready-to-wear sometimes 😅 I have some big gaps in my wardrobe with the very changeable weather.

Today I'm wearing an 80s(?) pattern top and Burda shorts. These shorts are so practical, I have them in a few colours.

Day 14 of

I took my dog to the Danube Bend - it’s so beautiful there and the beach was deserted. I don’t know why more people don’t go there. It’s a little piece of paradise.

I'm wearing a very old white blouse, my red lace sweater, denim shorts and handknit socks.

Days 10-12 of

10 - Petite Knit top which I loooove the construction of. Wanna make another.
I bleached the denim for the shorts and handpainted rainbows on the pockets.

11 - Bit chilly so wore black track pants, mesh t-shirt and stripy jumper. Realising I have a loot of striped garments.

12 - Sooo windy today and cold. Brown trenchcoat, blue cable knit sweater, track pants.

Day 9 of

I'm wearing my Seawaves jumper, Burda shorts, and my first ever pair of socks.

I want to make this jumper again in a different colourway with less floppy yarn. Something that matches better with garments I have.

day 8
This is an old Burda dress. I got the fabric in Malaysia a decade ago and it has held up so well over the years!

For Day 7 of I’m wearing my grey top, pleated green skirt and hand knit socks.

A grey t-shirt always feels like a getting-things-done garment to me. Do you have any “work clothes”?

Day 6 of

I'm wearing a dress inspired by one of Marilyn Monroe’s and a lacy robe. Finally sundress weather!

Day 5 of

Finally putting some elastic in the too loose and too long sleeves. One done, one to go. This was my first lace project a few years ago and now I’m obsessed with lace. I made the top and jeans too.

A nerdy look for Day 4 of

All of these garments are very old. I think I made the white blouse around 2009 (it was originally part of an Oktoberfest outfit), the sweater in 2015 and the dress in 2017. I still wear them all regularly but they really make me remember where I was in life when I made them.

Casual clothes for walking my dog. I made the t-shirt and jeans.
