 Hi you guys, it's Lindsay here. Welcome back to my channel Inside the Hymn. Today I am coming at you with all of my makes from the month of August late July and all of August. I have been a busy little psoist even though I haven't really posted any of those makes either on my social media or done any videos for them But I have been busy. I think the main reason why I haven't posted any of them is because they're kind of like catch-ups so I was fully engaged in so my style and then I completely fell off the wagon So but I decided that it's still a really good idea and it's a great way to build up a versatile wardrobe and so I wanted to stick with it. So I jumped back in And the first thing I made were the leggings the Virginia leggings by Megan Nielsen Not much to show really. They're just leggings, but the fabric came from Joanne is part of their performance line and you know, it doesn't have a ton of stretch, but That when you wear them that makes everything feel like very Sucked in, you know, if it were kind of like a looser not a looser knit You know still it needs to be like a tighter weave knit. It can't be a sweater knit or anything like that I mean, it could be I guess But either way if it weren't if it didn't have as much recovery and weren't as like tightly tight stretch Then you might just I think I would feel a little bit uncomfortable So when I went to Joanne, I was looking for like a pond teeth and this is the closest thing I can find um my only Concern with this fabric is because it is like a grunge type pattern, you know where it's like a You know, it's got a pattern to it. It's gray and black, but it's still got a pattern to it I don't know how wearable These are gonna be are these gonna be around the house or am I gonna be able to throw on like a chunky black sweater and Head out the door and then I think it depends. I think I can wear my perforated leather vans, which are black these leggings like a black Top like a black tank top some kind of cotton knit top and like a cocoon cardigan or something And that would be a cute complete outfit. I would totally wear that out I don't know that I would wear these with like black leather booties and try and make it like Anything other than a casual outfit, but the pattern itself I thought a couple things that were really interesting one is there are no side seams Which at first I was like these are never going to fit like I have so many fit issues with my Sway back plus my full seat adjustment plus my athletic front thigh, and I've never gotten a great fit out of pants and Now these don't have side seams so I can't even make the usual adjustments that I would normally make But I decided to just throw caution to the wind and give it a go and they fit Pretty good right out of the pattern Right off, you know without any adjustments at all I probably will make a couple adjustments for the next pair, but Not many. I think if anything I will add some rise and maybe a bit more of a curve to the back Curve but other than that like they're pretty good. So I got caught up with those and And then I moved on to the oh Shoot, what's this dress pattern bridge side bridge port bridge view bridge something pattern It's the backless Bridge side back less dress. Is that what it's called? Oh darn. I can't remember the name of it now But it's the one that has obviously it's backless. So I got this Rayon also from Joanne same trip as when I got the knit. This was on sale. I had Loved this when I first saw it was not on sale and then it finally went on sale They have a lot of these great rayons now Gosh, who was the designer Kathy something? Maybe I can't remember now. Oh I'll try and find all the information and put it in the description box for you guys Here's how you access the description box really quickly if you don't know by now I guess eventually you guys will tell me like we know how to access the description box You don't need to keep showing us that thing But until I hear that from you guys I'm gonna keep putting it up there just so you guys know where to find all the Information that falls out of my head while I'm talking or I just legit can't remember This dress is super cute So some things about this dress though and I'll talk more about this whenever I like have it on for real and do Like my my usual video for a pattern review But I size down like a lot like a lot. I think my my measurements might have been 12 14 based on my measurements and it ended up making like a six look I sized down So much I just kept looking at people's pictures of this and kept thinking gosh That looks so big on them and people were complaining that it was falling off their shoulders And I'm like, yeah, probably because it's so big And I just kept thinking about it thinking about it and I was like, you know, there's really no sleeve It's completely backless. There's nothing to hold There's not no tightness going on around the bust area Like really the only measurements that matter are your waist which are determined by the elastic Which is basically adjustable and your hip measurement for the skirt So I just size the bodice down like a ton Anyways, like I said, I'll talk a lot more about that in that video But I just wanted you guys to see it. I mean it has to be the note about the fabric It's not so much that it has to be lightweight as it has to be drapey Drape is more important than weight when it comes to this pattern Which is also something I kind of had to figure out on my own Just from looking at people's pictures. So I happen to choose choose a lightweight and drapey fabric But you could definitely choose a midweight drape like What would be a good sample a tensile would be a good example of a midweight drapey fabric drape drape drape is important on this, but I just love it. Obviously I made the Stripes go in different directions. Can you all even see the bottom of this? Sorry Okay, what's next? Oh, so then I moved on to the pocket skirt And as you can see it's a bit in shambles still and that's because It didn't fit womp womp. I know so it is a pointing I don't know what went wrong with this. There's elastic in here, but the elastic doesn't even stretch out So what's the point of the elastic and it's too small? It's not too big. It's too small So it needs to be more fabric So I did something wrong. I'm not sure so what I think I'm going to do is Unpick the skirt from the waistband and take out all the gathers and then rely on the elastic To size it in the waist rather than the waistband if it's well in the hips. It's just when I zip it up. I'm like Second and that's like no way to live So I've got to make some adjustments, but I did think that the which is even the right side This is the right side. I did think that the fabric turned out really cute I posted on my social media. You guys might have seen I was debating whether to do the pockets as Horizontal vertical or on the bias and overwhelmingly everyone said bias I don't it wasn't that obvious to me, but it was that obvious to you guys So I ended up doing them on the bias and I think they looked really cute this fabric came from Metro textiles in New York City in 2015 yep, so I doubt he still has any more of it, but it's kind of like a tweed Super loose, so I had just searched everything from the very beginning. I just searched all the edges So I wouldn't have to worry about it I mean it was like falling apart when I was even moving it from the cutting table to the searcher So I knew I'd never make it any further than that. I just don't want to stretch anything out So we'll see I have no more of it so if I can salvage this by taking out the waist gathers then such as life and You live and learn one day. I'll start measuring the waistbands Making sure that they are going to fit, but so that's where we are really cute fingers crossed that I can get this one together So with those three I'm not I'm still not caught up. So I've made those three plus the Coat gosh, I'm not remembering any of the names. Let me pull it up. That's probably the best way Okay, so in January was the toaster sweater made that at the Navy cable knit Then it was the saunio cardigan that I made from that black and white tweedish bukley ish fabric Virginia leggings. I just made Bridgetown dress. I just made pocket skirt. I just made so that takes me up to June So I have the briar Which I think will be super simple. I already have a sweater knit that I know that I'm gonna make it from I have the valley blouse by Cali Faye, which is again like a loose fit peasant type of blouse, so that should be pretty easy although that's my hesitation with that one is I don't have a fabric I love I do have a Swiss dot which I think would be cute because for that one Lightweight is really important And not necessarily drape But the Swiss dot is sheer So would I line it and I don't want to line it, you know some torn I don't know what where that's gonna go And then August's was the Darling Ranges dress by Megan Nielsen Super cute dress have plenty of fabrics that would work for that because it's like a stable woven cotton midway Easy and since we're basically already in September. I have the named clothing Yona wrap coat a coat So I do want to keep taking away at this and hopefully by the end of the year I'll be able to do a video like compilation mashup of all the ones that have made So I am sticking. I just thought the wagon. Okay, like I thought the wagon a little bit but I'm back on the wagon again and Moving right along so we'll see although fit issues certainly don't help they add to the problem Okay, one other couple of things that I have made here recently. This is the Austin T By blank slate patterns and The fabric is from Elliot Bierman. It's a jersey a ray on Jersey viscose. Oh, so dreamy I thought the print looked a lot like Anthropology or something like that and that's what drew me to it I love this pattern. This pattern is gonna get made again. So keep your eyes out It's just well thought out and very smart how she does little time I have a whole video on this. I don't need to like go back into it again I'll link in the description box below The link to watch my video on this pattern the video wasn't originally released on the channel It was released through her blog and it has to stay that way for like 30 days or something So that window is past So I'll make that video live and link it down below so you all can see if you didn't see it on Blank slates on melisos.com blank slates blog And then also I just wanted to remind you guys of this top that I made This was for Cali fabric. So this is a fabric. I got from them. It's like a super lightweight Variated stripe like I don't think it's chambray But it looks like it And it's a mashup of like three different patterns that I use to knock off a loft Pattern so I'm 99% sure that's live on the channel If not, it will be by the time I get this posted and I'll link this down below too So you can get all the details on the patterns that I use to make this and more info on the fabric I hope that they still have it. I didn't really check Anyway, so like I said the past like month and a half considering I had a move That went on and I've been redecorating and hanging wallpaper and if you saw my Favorites video, then you know, I'm painting everything gold busy doing all of those things plus my regular jobs and Sewing so I think I've done pretty well I mean, I gotta admit the so my style patterns are like an afternoon. You can knock those out They're super easy and straightforward. Um, so yeah, so that's what I've been sewing. So stay tuned to see The how I style the style. I sew my style like the Virginia leggings I'll post the bridge side. What was the name of that? I feel like I Skim right over that and didn't even take note of what it was called bridge town dress The bridge town backless dress by so how said anyway, so I'll put a video up on that Here shortly. I'll try and salvage the skirt fingers crossed If not, I have some other fabric that I just got from Joanne And I'll just make it bigger and make it the right way and then the metro fabric will just be a loss So yeah, and then I'll keep you guys posted on the rest of the so my style projects So that's what I've been up to.
