🌸 Here’s part two of why the skirt trend is thriving in summer 2024! 🌸

✨ First, fashion loves to recycle trends. We’re seeing a revival of the minimalistic and clean styles from the 90s and early 2000s, with simple lines and elastic waistbands making a comeback.

✨ Second, the influence of Scandinavian fashion is undeniable. The clean aesthetic and emphasis on simplicity, functionality, and natural materials are reflected in these skirts, resonating with the popular “Scandi” style.

✨ Third, the “work from home” culture has shaped our fashion needs. These midi skirts strike the perfect balance between comfort and chic, making them ideal for business meetings and conference calls from home.

🌸 If you haven't been living under a rock this summer, you've probably noticed the trend of beautiful skirts all over social media and Pinterest! 🌸

✨ These skirts are a perfect blend of practicality and style. Born from the post-pandemic shift towards comfort, they feature comfy waistbands, flattering midi lengths, and breathable linen fabric - ideal for summer heat!

💖 Plus, their timeless, effortless look fits right into the ongoing minimalistic and natural fashion trends. And that cute, slightly wrinkled texture? It adds a relaxed and chic vibe we all love!

🌱 What’s even more exciting is the DIY potential! Many are recreating these skirts at home, embracing sustainability and steering away from fast fashion. Join me as I dive into making these skirts in upcoming videos and a longer YouTube tutorial!

Let’s find the perfect fabric for your first project together! 🌸

1. Start with Cotton 🌼

Cotton is like a warm hug for beginners.
It’s simple, reliable, and comes in the cutest patterns and colors.
Trust me, you’ll love how easy it is to work with cotton. 🧵💕

2. Check the Stretch 🌟

A little bit of stretch is like a sprinkle of magic—it helps hide tiny mistakes.
But too much stretch can be tricky, like a wiggly worm. 🪱
Stick to fabrics that have a gentle stretch and avoid super stretchy ones for now. You’ve got this! 🌈

3. Consider the Weight 🍃

Lightweight fabrics are lovely, but too light can be slippery like a little fish. 🐟 Heavyweight fabrics, like denim, can be tough cookies.
Choose something in the middle, and you’ll find your sweet spot. 🌸

Hi there, sewing newbie! 🌸 Are you finding yourself making mistakes and ripping up seams? Don’t worry! Here are three sweet tips to keep you calm and happy. 🌼

Hi, I’m Anya! 🧵

With a degree in fashion and textile design and ten years of sewing under my belt, I’m here to sprinkle a little magic on your sewing journey.

1. Meet Your New Best Friend: The Seam Ripper

It might seem scary, but trust me, the seam ripper is a hero in disguise! 🌟 Even the best of us spend a lot of time with it. Think of it as part of the adventure, not a setback.

2. Love Your Fabric: Hand Stitch First

To avoid too much seam ripping, try pinning your fabrics and giving them a gentle hand stitch first. This way, you’ll catch any oopsies before they become big problems, saving you time and stress! 💖

3. Be Gentle with Yourself and Your Seams

If you need to rip a seam, do it with love and patience. Rushing or getting frustrated can damage your beautiful fabric. Take a deep breath, step back, and return with a calm heart. Your fabric (and sanity) will thank you! 🌷

Special Free Sewing Bundle for Beginners

Happy sewing, and remember: every stitch is a step towards something beautiful! 🧚‍♀️✨

20/07/2024

🌸Hi there🌸, sewing newbie! Here are three sweet and simple hacks to make your sewing journey super easy:

1. Use Metal Pins Instead of Plastic Clippers 🌸
Metal pins are your best friends! They make everything more accurate and cause fewer problems. Plastic clippers might look easy, but they just don't compare to the trusty metal pins.

2. Mark Your Seam Allowance🪡
Always mark your seam allowance when cutting fabric. This little step keeps your seams consistent and your pieces fitting perfectly. Just grab a measuring tape and make those marks!

3. When in Doubt, Stitch It Out🎀
If you're unsure about a stitch, hand stitch it first. This lets you see how it looks before committing with the sewing machine. It’s a small step that makes a big difference and saves you from mistakes.

To help you even more, I’ve prepared a free sewing bundle just for beginners! It includes:

1️⃣A mini course
2️⃣20 tips and tricks
3️⃣A stitch starter guide for beautiful seams, even if it’s your first time

Hey there, lovely sewing newbies! 🌟 Just starting your sewing adventure? Here are five common mistakes beginners make and tips to avoid them:

Using the Wrong Needle
Different fabrics need different needles. Thicker needles for thick fabrics and thinner ones for delicate fabrics. Makes sense, right? 😊

Ignoring Machine Tension
If your tension isn’t right, your stitches won’t be pretty, and your project might fall apart. Always check and adjust the tension on your sewing machine for smooth, beautiful stitches.

Skipping Practice
Practice is key! I still practice after ten years. Grab some scrap fabric and have fun practicing. It’ll make your sewing journey easier and more enjoyable. 🧵

Choosing the Wrong Fabric
Pick the right fabric for your project and skill level. If you’re just starting out, go for 100% cotton. It’s easy to work with and comes in so many cute colors and patterns! 🌸

Rushing the Process
Take your time and enjoy the journey. Sewing isn’t a race; it’s about the joy of creating something special. Be patient and savor every stitch. 💖

5 Things I Wish I Knew Before I Started Sewing 🌸✂️

🌼 Start Simple 🌼
There’s no need to rush! Begin with a fun and easy project to dip your toes into the sewing world. My first project was a sweet little bag, and it made learning so delightful. Pick something that will keep you motivated and excited rather than something too tricky that might make you feel overwhelmed.

🧵 Invest in Good Tools 🧵
Good tools are your best friends in sewing. They make everything smoother and more enjoyable. High-quality tools are reliable, help you avoid problems, and make sewing so much more fun!

🐾 Practice Regularly 🐾
Consistency is key to getting better. Regular practice, even just a little bit each day, helps keep your skills sharp and your memory fresh. When you finally start a bigger project, it will feel so much easier and you’ll make fewer mistakes.

🌸 Learn from Your Mistakes 🌸
Don’t let mistakes get you down. Every little oopsie is a chance to learn something new. Embrace your mistakes and use them as stepping stones to become an even better sewist.

🌟 Seek the Right Resources 🌟
I have a special treat just for you—a free sewing bundle perfect for beginners!

Hi and welcome to part 4 of making my dream pants. 🎀👖

I can't believe it's already day 4! My pants are finally starting to look like actual pants, and I'm so excited. Let's see how it goes today.

Step 1: Since yesterday I left off with ironing, today I focused on overclocking to protect all the seam allowances. I did this for the sides and the inside seam. 🧵

Step 2: Once that was done, the pants were ready to be combined. I sewed the seam through the middle, and now I had actual pants to put on! The final step was to iron that last seam.📌

Uh-Oh Moment! 😅
But then, disaster struck—the pants wouldn't go past my thighs! I realized I hadn't considered how to actually put the pants on. I was planning to use an elastic band but didn't adjust the pattern for it.😅

Step 3: Now, I had to adapt. Instead of starting the bows lower on the hip, I moved them up to the waist, making the pants a bit more revealing. I'll figure out how to keep them from looking too trashy later. ✂️

Step 4: I had to rip the seams from the sides to fix this issue. Hopefully, this will help me continue the project without more problems. 🚨

See you in part 5, where I'll hopefully figure this situation out! ✨👖

02/06/2024

Hello and welcome to part two of Making My Dream Pants! 👖🌸

Today, I made so much progress. Let me show you what I did:

Step 1: First, I made a copy of yesterday's pattern. This way, I don't have to cut the original 🌸

Step 2: I added check points and marked where the bows will go. Then, I cut the pattern pieces into two parts, making sure everything matches front and back.

Step 3: I folded the fabric in half, making sure the back was inside and the face was outside. Then, I placed the pattern pieces on the fabric with enough seam allowance and pinned them down.

Step 4: Quick coffee break! Loving the progress so far.☕️

Step 5: I drew the outlines of the pattern on the fabric with charcoal and carefully cut them out, ensuring the seam allowance was perfect.✏️✂️

And here’s the result: two layers of each pattern piece with beautiful seam lines. Day two was a success!

Follow for part three to see what happens next! ✨👖

🌸 Essential Tools for Beginner Sewists 🌸

Hey there, future sewing star! ✨ Just starting your sewing journey and wondering what tools you need? Here are the must-haves to get you stitching like a pro:

✂️ Fabric Scissors: Remember, fabric scissors are for fabric only—no paper, please! Keep them sharp. 💖

📌 Pins: You’ll need pins to hold your fabric pieces together before sewing.

📏 Measuring Tape: A soft measuring tape is essential for perfect measurements.🎀

🔺 Geo Triangle: This handy tool helps you draw perfect lines and angles. It’s more precise than a regular ruler. 💎

🧵 Seam Ripper: Every beginner needs a seam ripper for those oops moments. It’s okay to make mistakes—this little guy is here to save the day! Trust me, you’ll be using it more than you think, and that’s totally okay! 🌟

🌸 Welcome to my new series, "SEWING VOCABULARY FOR BEGINNERS." - Part 2 🌸 If you're just starting your sewing journey, this one's for you ✂️✨

Today, we're diving into some essential terms you'll encounter when working with patterns:

1️⃣ Pattern: This is your template for cutting out fabric pieces. Think of it as a blueprint for your sewing project. Patterns come in various shapes and sizes, guiding you on where to cut, sew, and assemble.

2️⃣ Notches: These are small marks or cuts on the edge of your pattern pieces. They help align fabric pieces accurately. Make sure to cut them carefully to ensure everything matches up perfectly.

3️⃣ Bias: This is the diagonal direction of the fabric. Cutting on the bias gives your fabric extra stretch and drape. It's perfect for creating flowing dresses or garments that need a bit of give.

4️⃣ Dart: Darts are folds sewn into fabric to give it shape, like around the bust or waist. They help the fabric contour to your body's curves, giving your garment a tailored fit.

Stay tuned for more sewing terms and tips! 🌟 Got any questions? Drop them in the comments below! 💬 Or check out my beginner friendly sewing course -link https://gratusstudio.com/sales ✨

Hey everyone! A bit of a different post today 🌸 I know you probably don’t know me, since I am just starting this journey, so here are 5 facts about me:

1️⃣ I’m all about simplicity when it comes to fabrics. Cotton and linen are my absolute favorites – they’re comfy and perfect for so many projects.✨🪡

2️⃣ I have to admit, my most-used sewing tool is the seam ripper. We’ve all been there, right? ✂️

3️⃣ I’m on a mission to change my whole wardrobe to handmade clothing that I design and make myself, instead of buying fast fashion products.🎀

4️⃣ I used to hate sewing, but now I love it! It’s a surprising change that I’m still amazed by. 😅

5️⃣ I buy Vogue magazine almost every month, so I have a pretty big collection, that keeps me inspired✨

Hope you enjoyed getting to know me a little better!

Hey fellow stitchers! 🧵🌸 Looking to level up your sewing game? 🪡 Here are three tips to get the most out of your sewing machine:

1️⃣ Keep it clean and well-maintained: Regularly clean your machine to prevent dust and lint buildup, which can affect its performance. Don't forget to oil the moving parts as recommended by the manufacturer to keep everything running smoothly.🔥

2️⃣ Experiment with different stitches: Your sewing machine is capable of more than just straight stitches! Take some time to explore the different stitch options available, from zigzag to decorative stitches. Experimenting with stitch settings can add unique touches to your projects and expand your creative possibilities.🌟🧵

3️⃣ Practice, practice, practice: Like any skill, sewing takes practice to master. Take the time to practice sewing on scrap fabric before starting a new project, especially if you're trying out a new technique or stitch. This will help you get comfortable with your machine and improve your sewing skills over time. 🪡✂️

🌟 Why make your own clothing? ✂️🧵🪡

Here are three reasons why it’s worth giving it a try:

1️⃣ Creativity: When you make your own clothing, you have complete control over the design. From choosing fabrics to customizing details, it’s a chance to let your creativity shine and express your unique style.🪡

2️⃣ Quality: Ever bought a piece of clothing only to have it fall apart after a few wears? When you make your own clothing, you can ensure it’s made to last. You select the fabrics and stitching techniques, resulting in garments that are both durable and well-crafted.🌸

3️⃣ Personalization: There’s something special about wearing clothing that you’ve made yourself. Whether it’s a perfectly tailored dress or a cozy sweater, handmade garments have a personal touch that can’t be replicated. Plus, you can customize the fit to suit your body perfectly!✨

Guess what? Tomorrow morning, I'm off to Barcelona, but there's one tiny problem – I don't have a cute bag to match my outfits! So, I thought, why not make one real quick? 🎒💭

First things first, I gathered some inspiration and sketched out my design. Then, it was time to draw up the pattern for the bag. ✏️✂️ Here's a peek at all the pattern pieces!

Next up, I pinned the pieces to my fabric and got to cutting. And then repeated the process for the lining.

After that, it was onto the quilting material. I cut out the pieces and sewed them together to create that perfect quilted look. ✨

And finally, after a few (okay, more than a few) sewing mishaps and some messy moments, I finished just in time to catch my flight to Barcelona! 🇪🇸✈️

I hope you enjoyed this little sneak peek into my bag-making adventure! If you want to see more content like this, be sure to give me a follow and a like. Stay tuned for more sewing and design fun! 🧵🎨

Here’s how we’ll be wearing denim this fall, inspired by fashion week! 🍂👖🍁 First up is a look from Marimekko at Copenhagen Fashion Week. I love how the pattern blends with a classic button-up shirt and loose pants—so stylish! Next, Christian Dior brings us a double denim outfit with a retro feel. The jacket and loose pants, combined with a sheer beaded shirt, give off a cool 90s vibe. Alexander McQueen offers a structured jacket paired with straight jeans, featuring a subtle color detail on the neckline. It’s sleek and elegant! I’m also into this full denim look by Arrow, with a rolled-up hem and an oversized blazer. It’s casual yet put together. For something fun, there’s a patchwork onesie with embroidery-like details. It’s modern, funky, and full of energy. Finally, a simple but stunning denim ensemble with a great silhouette and patterned jeans. It’s effortlessly chic! I’m excited to try these denim trends this fall! 🍂👖 #denim #jeans #dubbledenim #denimstyle #denimtrends #denimtrend #falltrend #falltrends #fashiontrends #fashiontrend #fashion #fashiondesign #fashiondesigner #falltrend2024 #design #sew #smallbusiness #style #clothing #clothes #gratusstudio #GratusStudio #sewingtips #outfitinspiration #falloutfits #falloutfitideas #falloutfitinspo

Easy Fashion Tips for Fall 2024 🍁🍂 Looking to stay on trend this fall? Here's a simple guide to dressing fashionably for the season. Fall 2024 trends fall into three main categories: Bold Glamor: Think of the classic mob wife aesthetic with a twist—animal prints, statement scarves, oversized sunglasses, bold red hues, see-through fabrics, luxurious furs, and strong, chunky jewelry. English Prep: Embrace the English countryside vibe with earthy browns, checkered patterns, pleats, and shades of green. It's all about that classic European country style. Dark Romantic: Dive into a mysterious, witchy vampire-inspired look with dark florals, rich corduroy, elegant bows, and a touch of boho chic. Not sure what to wear? Just pick a style from one of these three categories, and you’ll be all set for fall! #falltrend #falltrends #fashiontrends #fashiontrend #fashion #fashiondesign #fashiondesigner #falltrend2024 #design #sew #smallbusiness #style #clothing #clothes #gratusstudio #SewWithGratusStudio #sew #sewing #sewingtips #outfitinspiration #falloutfits #falloutfitideas #falloutfitinspo #englishprep #darkromance #boldglamour #mobwifeaesthetic

Hello and welcome to the final part of our sewing adventure! 🎉 Today, we’re adding the finishing touches to our beautiful skirt: 1️⃣ Finishing the Hem - Let's complete the hem we ironed yesterday. Almost there! 2️⃣ Sewing the Elastic Canal - I’ll show you how to double fold and iron the fabric, sew the canal, and leave a tiny opening for the elastic. 3️⃣ I’m using a cute 2.5cm elastic band for the waist, and I'll insert it with a little pin to make it super easy. I’ll ensure the fabric wrinkles just right and fits perfectly before securing the elastic with two snug stitches. 4️⃣ Then, we’ll sew up the tiny opening. ✨ And ta-da!

Day 4: Sewing the Skirt 🌸 Today, I continued working on the skirt, focusing on the pockets and assembling the main pieces. 🎀🪡 Here's a step-by-step of what I did: 1️⃣ Preparation: I started by overlooking all four sides of the pockets. Measured and decided where to place the pockets on the skirt. 2️⃣ Pinning and Sewing: Pinned the pockets in place on the skirt. Sewed the pockets to the skirt using the sewing machine, ensuring all four sides were secured. 3️⃣ Overlocking: Overlocked the front and back of the skirt with the pockets attached. Overlocked all four sides of the skirt. 4️⃣ Assembling the Skirt: Placed the front and back of the skirt together and pinned them. Made a long stitch along the side to attach everything, including the pockets. 5️⃣ Final Touches: Once stitched, it started to look like a wearable piece of clothing. Ironed the seams apart and also the hem and upper part for the elastic. Finishing Up: 🎀In the final part, I will attach the elastic, and the skirt will be complete. Here's a snapshot of today's progress, highlighting the stitching and ironing. 🪡Can't wait to see the finished product!🧵 #fashion #fashiondesigner #fashiondesign #fashiontrend #fashiontrends #summertrend2024 #skirt #design #sew #smallbusiness #style #clothing #clothes #skirts #diy #diyskirt #diysewing #midiskirt #midiskirtoutfits #gratusstudio #SewWithGratusStudio #sew #sewing #fashion #fashiondesign #fashiondesigner #design #sewingtips #sewingproject #sewingforbeginners #learntosew

🌟✨ Welcome to part three, lovelies! ✨🌟 Today, we’re moving from sketching to fabric magic! 🎨✂️ First, I spread out my gorgeous black linen and transferred my carefully measured pattern onto it. I made sure to add that extra seam allowance for the hem. Once everything looked perfect, I cut it out, following the lines precisely. 🖤✂️ Next, I pinned down the pattern pieces from our last video and used charcoal to transfer them to the fabric, again adding the seam allowance. I carefully cut these out too. 🪡🖤 Then, with some copying paper and a ruler, I made sure the pattern transferred to the other side since I was working with two layers. I repeated this for another pair of pockets. 📏📄 And voilà, our fabric pieces are ready to go! 💫🧵 Stay tuned for the next step in our creative journey! 💖 #fashion #fashiondesigner #fashiondesign #fashiontrend #fashiontrends #summertrend2024 #skirt #design #sew #smallbusiness #style #clothing #clothes #skirts #diy #diyskirt #diysewing #midiskirt #midiskirtoutfits #gratusstudio #SewWithGratusStudio #sew #sewing #fashion #fashiondesign #fashiondesigner #design #sewingtips #sewingproject #sewingforbeginners #learntosew

🌟 Welcome to Part Two! 🌟 Yesterday, we left off with our sketch and pattern. Today, we're diving into creating the pocket pattern for our skirt. Here's the process in a nutshell: 1️⃣ Start with a straight vertical line. 2️⃣ Outline your hand to determine the pocket size—make sure it's big enough! 3️⃣ Draw the pocket shape around the outline. 4️⃣ Test the hand hole to ensure it fits perfectly. 5️⃣ Smooth out the lines to avoid any bumps and make the pattern nice and round. 6️⃣ Carefully cut along the lines for a precise pattern. 7️⃣ Add control points for accuracy. Voilà! The pocket pattern looks perfect and is ready to be cut out of the fabric.

🌸 Here’s part two of why the skirt trend is thriving in summer 2024! 🌸 ✨ First, fashion loves to recycle trends. We’re seeing a revival of the minimalistic and clean styles from the 90s and early 2000s, with simple lines and elastic waistbands making a comeback. ✨ Second, the influence of Scandinavian fashion is undeniable. The clean aesthetic and emphasis on simplicity, functionality, and natural materials are reflected in these skirts, resonating with the popular “Scandi” style. ✨ Third, the “work from home” culture has shaped our fashion needs. These midi skirts strike the perfect balance between comfort and chic, making them ideal for business meetings and conference calls from home.

But too much stretch can be tricky, like a wiggly worm. 🪱 Stick to fabrics that have a gentle stretch and avoid super stretchy ones for now. You’ve got this! 🌈 3. Consider the Weight 🍃 Lightweight fabrics are lovely, but too light can be slippery like a little fish. 🐟 Heavyweight fabrics, like denim, can be tough cookies. Choose something in the middle, and you’ll find your sweet spot. 🌸 If you want more adorable tips and tricks, check out my free sewing bundles for beginners.

Hi there, sewing newbie! 🌸 Are you finding yourself making mistakes and ripping up seams? Don’t worry! Here are three sweet tips to keep you calm and happy. 🌼 Hi, I’m Anya! 🧵 With a degree in fashion and textile design and ten years of sewing under my belt, I’m here to sprinkle a little magic on your sewing journey. 1. Meet Your New Best Friend: The Seam Ripper It might seem scary, but trust me, the seam ripper is a hero in disguise! 🌟 Even the best of us spend a lot of time with it. Think of it as part of the adventure, not a setback. 2. Love Your Fabric: Hand Stitch First To avoid too much seam ripping, try pinning your fabrics and giving them a gentle hand stitch first. This way, you’ll catch any oopsies before they become big problems, saving you time and stress! 💖 3. Be Gentle with Yourself and Your Seams If you need to rip a seam, do it with love and patience. Rushing or getting frustrated can damage your beautiful fabric. Take a deep breath, step back, and return with a calm heart. Your fabric (and sanity) will thank you! 🌷 Special Free Sewing Bundle for Beginners I’ve put together a special free sewing bundle just for you to make your sewing journey as sweet as can be.

🌸Hi there🌸, sewing newbie! Here are three sweet and simple hacks to make your sewing journey super easy: 1. Use Metal Pins Instead of Plastic Clippers 🌸 Metal pins are your best friends! They make everything more accurate and cause fewer problems. Plastic clippers might look easy, but they just don't compare to the trusty metal pins. 2. Mark Your Seam Allowance🪡 Always mark your seam allowance when cutting fabric. This little step keeps your seams consistent and your pieces fitting perfectly. Just grab a measuring tape and make those marks! 3. When in Doubt, Stitch It Out🎀 If you're unsure about a stitch, hand stitch it first. This lets you see how it looks before committing with the sewing machine. It’s a small step that makes a big difference and saves you from mistakes. To help you even more, I’ve prepared a free sewing bundle just for beginners! It includes: 1️⃣A mini course 2️⃣20 tips and tricks 3️⃣A stitch starter guide for beautiful seams, even if it’s your first time Check out the links for these goodies. 🌸 FREE Sewing Bundle for Beginners: https://gratusstudio.com/freebie Happy sewing! 💖🧵 #BeginnerSewing #CraftyGirls #SewingTips #Freebie #DIYFashion #SewingJourney #phonecase #phonebag #phonepouch #minicourse #SewWithGratusStudio #sew #sewing #fashion #fashiondesign #fashiondesigner #design #sewingtips #sewingproject #sewingforbeginners #learntosew #sewingmachine #sewingmachinewigs #happysewing #courses #coursecreator #sewingmachine

Hey there, lovely sewing newbies! 🌟 Just starting your sewing adventure? Here are five common mistakes beginners make and tips to avoid them: Using the Wrong Needle Different fabrics need different needles. Thicker needles for thick fabrics and thinner ones for delicate fabrics. Makes sense, right? 😊 Ignoring Machine Tension If your tension isn’t right, your stitches won’t be pretty, and your project might fall apart. Always check and adjust the tension on your sewing machine for smooth, beautiful stitches. Skipping Practice Practice is key! I still practice after ten years. Grab some scrap fabric and have fun practicing. It’ll make your sewing journey easier and more enjoyable. 🧵 Choosing the Wrong Fabric Pick the right fabric for your project and skill level. If you’re just starting out, go for 100% cotton. It’s easy to work with and comes in so many cute colors and patterns! 🌸 Rushing the Process Take your time and enjoy the journey. Sewing isn’t a race; it’s about the joy of creating something special. Be patient and savor every stitch. 💖 For more sweet tips and tricks, I’ve prepared a special free sewing bundle just for beginners.
