tfw you finally master the fit on a new pair of trousers (and gratiitious: hey, doesn't my butt look good?! 😂). I've been on a real pants streak lately & as a result I've been getting much more comfortable with baste-fitting. full adjustment details will be on a future minerva.com blog post, but long story short this is the first project I've managed to achieve a straight waist line with no extra fabric at the back. 💁🏼‍♀️ I get nervous cutting fabric knowing I will still need to make adjustments, but sometimes it's better to just try A Thing and figure it out from there instead of endlessly trying to intellect your way through it. hooray for continued progress & learning!
.
fabric is a lady McElroy lilac suiting gifted to me by @minervadotcom, and the pattern is view C from Simplicity 3688 in a size 10.

Sneak peak of my latest make for @minervadotcom 👀. It's a nice drapey suiting fabric sewed up into the Seamwork Channing pants. The pattern is easy to fit, easy to sew, and makes for realllly comfy office wear. 🖤

gratuitous update on my lemon embroidery 🍋: while I mostly ignored this project during the months of august and september - cold weather is about to be upon us, and so I'm trying to crank out the home stretch of stitching while watching season 1 of the great british baking show (yes, I am who knows how many years late to that party 🥳).
.
this panel will be the backside of a Hampton jean jacket, which is already cut and ready to sew together once I finish this! I'm currently on hold, however, until I pick up more yellow embroidery floss - what you see in the lemon so far is an entire skein of floss 🙊 swipe to see the backside and why this is such a floss eater 😂

one of my favorite parts of sewing is customizing small details like pocket linings. 😻 I'm working on my first pair of ginger jeans, & I opted to use this fabric which was gifted by my mom after her trip to Japan last spring. construction design decisions are ones that mostly go unnoticed by anybody except me, but nonetheless provide small (. . . dare I say?!) POCKETS of joy throughout my day. and we all need more of those, right?
.
I'm also currently in what I like to call the disillusionment stage of this project - basically when my perfectionism starts to say it's not coming together as I imagined - give up now and find a new hobby! 😂
.
but seeing as there's nothing actually WRONG with the project (it's just . . not perfect, duh 🤦🏼‍♀️), experience has taught me that if I can push through, I'll be happy & forgiving with my work on the other side.

how I feel about my new Acton dress: pretty dang pleased!
.
it debuted last weekend in NJ for my stepsister's wedding 💜, and today it's debuting on my blog with all the sewing details - including how I used the lining to add a sewn-in bra (hint: it's surprisingly easy!). link is in my bio 🌟

Okay I say this a lot but for REAL this might be my favorite make ever. 😍 All she needs is a hem and then she'll be wedding-ready for next Saturday. 💃

pattern is the Acton dress by @inthefolds in a really dreamy and soft viscose linen noil from @blackbirdfabrics.

the month of august kicked off some major transitions for me, and in the process of trying to sort through my next steps I've been neglecting my sewing practice. when I'm facing the unknown, slowing down becomes extra hard and I want to pour all of my energy into figuring things out. I become a little frantic, a lot perfectionist, and feel guilty when I have time that's not being used "productively."
.
with that guilt it's reallllly hard for me to sew. so this is a gentle reminder to myself (and anybody else who needs to hear it) that creativity doesn't have to be relegated to the bottom of the to-do list, & feeding the spirit isn't something to be earned - it's a birth right. I am worthy of my creative practice and so are you. 💛
