Caroline made a travel capsule wardrobe! Here are a few of the ✨looks✨
She sewed up a storm for her trip to Croatia - the vibe was natural fibers, breezy garments, and pops of red. Doesn't she look amazing? Details of each garment are available on our Patreon and in the June Blackbird Fabrics newsletter! (Or just ask us and we'll reply in the comments.)
If you want to hear us chat about sewing for travel, including travel capsules, listen to Episode 273!

Our best tips for fitting jumpsuits!
🧵 Don't skip the muslin! We recommend putting together just the top part and making any adjustments to that before attaching the bottoms and making adjustments to those.
🧵 Try grading between sizes if your measurements fall into different size categories for bust, waist, and hips. If they are more than three sizes apart, though, traditional pattern adjustments (like a full waist adjustment or a narrow hip adjustment) may work better.
🧵 Don't forget about length adjustments, which are super important to a jumpsuit fitting well. If you want to figure out whether you'll need length adjustments before you get into the muslin process, check what height the pattern was designed for. If you're two inches taller, you may want to lengthen the top and bottom by one inch each (at the lengthen/shorten lines).
🧵 If you want an easier fitting process, choose a looser, sleeveless pattern like the Helen’s Closet Lazo Jumpsuit. Looking for a challenge? Go for a more fitted, sleeved pattern like the Closet Core Blanca Flight Suit!

If Caroline could only sew one thing, it would be: block print dresses! 😍
In this week's episode, we share a bunch of interesting listener responses to the question: "If you could only sew one thing, what would it be?" And we share our answers, too! Caroline adores block print fabrics; they're colourful, intricate, handmade, lightweight, breathable, and easy to sew! Here are some block print dresses she's already made:
✨ A Victory Patterns #SofiaDress in an amazing mustard yellow, red, and green floral print.
✨ A Helen’s Closet #MarchDress hack with an added flounce (and matching mask) in a gorgeous bright green with yellow and green sprigs.
✨ A Pattern Fantastique #ValiDress in a beautiful deep blue with pink and green floral print.
All fabrics are from Blackbird Fabrics, of course! If you could only sew with one fabric, what would it be? Let us know in the comments!

If she could only sew one thing, Helen would choose: denim! 👖❤️
In this week's episode, we share a bunch of listener answers to the question, "If you could only sew one thing, what would it be?" And, of course, we share our own answers, too! Helen made an excellent choice. Denim is sturdy, but it wears in beautifully. It comes in every shade, but the indigo ones are the best. And it's so satisfying to finish it with beautiful topstitching. Here are some of Helen's denim me-mades:
👖 A pair of light wash denim #FalconerPants
👖 Dark wash #YantaOveralls
👖 An #AshtonTop mini-dress hack
👖 A patchwork shift dress made from three pairs of Sam's old jeans!
Do you like sewing with denim?

In Episode 270: Corduroy and Velvet, Caroline talked about a Gap jacket from the early aughts that she loved and wore on a trip to Italy. In this week's episode, we share a voicemail from listener Julia about HER fave green velvet Gap jacket from the early aughts! It inspired Caroline to dig out her photos - check out how adorable she looks! We also found a couple of indie patterns in case our listeners want to make their own beloved velvet jacket. The #AuburnBlazer by @Cashmerette is a great option for mid and larger sizes and the #SOIFrancineJacket by @SewOverItLondon is a great option for smaller to mid sizes!
What colour velvet jacket would you make?

If you sew more for practical reasons rather than for enjoyment, we have tips for you!
One of our best tips is to re-use patterns that you have already made adjustments to. You can change up the look by choosing a different fabric or a different sleeve view, for example. But skipping the fitting process will save you a lot of time and uncertainty! Helen recently made one of her fave patterns, the #YantaOveralls, and it was so nice to get right into sewing knowing that she would like the fit of the final product.
In this week's episode, we share a bunch of tips for sewists who don't really enjoy sewing - to make it a little easier and a little more fun.
Do you have any tips for sewists who don't love the sewing process?

Do you ever feel this way? 🪡
In this episode, we chat about a really interesting email we got from a listener who doesn’t enjoy the sewing process. We talk about sewing for practical reasons versus sewing for the process, how to make the sewing process more enjoyable, and how to decide whether sewing is worth it. Plus, we have some fun voicemails from listeners to start it all off!

A few of our hemp makes!
✂️ Helen made these #JunePants from a hemp and organic cotton denim from Blackbird Fabrics - one of her all-time favourite fabrics. She paired it with a block print #CassidyWrapTop!
✂️ Helen has a bunch of tees made from hemp and cotton jersey - they last a long time and have a nice, subtle texture. This is one of the #JacksonTee samples.
✂️ Caroline loves her hemp and organic cotton denim #PonaJacket. Like linen, hemp softens with wearing and washing.
Listen to this week's episode to find out more about sustainable, breathable, comfortable hemp fabrics!

This episode is all about a lesser-known fiber: hemp!
It’s super environmentally friendly, breathable, antibacterial, and has great body and texture. We talk a bit about hemp’s long history, how it goes from plant to fabric, and what to sew with it. Plus, we answer a listener question about constructing woven garments with a serger and we share listeners' sewing machine names!

Christine Millar (aka Sewstine) went to a ball at the Palace of Versailles!
Sewing historical gowns is a fun activity in itself, but wearing them to events must be a next-level feeling. In this week's episode, Christine tells us about learning historical dances in the Hall of Mirrors and planning her own ball in Chicago. So amazing!

Christine Millar (aka Sewstine) is a machine embroidery wizard! 🪄
In this week's episode, we ask her all of our burning machine embroidery questions. How does she design her own embroidery files? How long do the embroideries take? What stabilizer does she use?

Wearing Ease vs. Design Ease 📏
Ease is the extra width and length that pattern designers add into their pattern pieces. Wearing ease is the minimum ease that you add so that people can move around in their clothes. Design ease is added just for the look of it! For example, in Helen's most recent design, the #FalconerPants, there is minimum wearing ease from the waist to the hips - then there is design ease added to the legs to create the barrel shape!
To learn more about ease and how you can make it work for you, listen to this week's episode!

The type of fabric you use can change up how much ease you need!
Ease is the extra length and width that pattern drafters add (or subtract!) from pattern pieces so that you can move around (and for style). A fitted knit top, like Caroline's #BFCarrieCrop, can have zero ease or even negative ease - the stretch of the fabric makes up for it. Woven garments, like Helen's #LockhartJumpsuit, have minimum requirements for positive ease.
Understanding ease is a game-changer for making garments that fit. Listen to this week's episode for lots more info!

Ease-y does it 😉
Ease is the extra length and width that pattern designers add so that you can move in your clothes. In this episode, we talk about how ease works and how to figure out the amount of ease that YOU like. It’s a game-changer for making clothes that fit! We also answer a listener question about grading between sizes vs. pattern adjustments.
Do you take ease into account when you're choosing your pattern size?
