The Brown Eyed Dressmaker

My dressmaking journal

Author: browneyeddressmaker

All things sewing related - quite often a rather calamitous affair! This is a little extension to my instagram account - coming soon.

The Magnolia dress by Deer and Doe

Hi folks, Really great to be able to set some time aside for myself lately. What with everything happening in the world and having everything to do at home instead of school and work being separate, it’s not often I get the chance to do something for me. It’s a long time coming, as I’ve… Read More The Magnolia dress by Deer and Doe

The Gable Top by Jennifer Lauren Handmade

Hi guys. I wanted to show you a few tops I’ve made recently with the same pattern. I made one a few weeks ago, which you might have seen if you follow me on Instagram. But then I immediately looked out for some fun horizontal stripes so that I could make a couple more straight… Read More The Gable Top by Jennifer Lauren Handmade

Lander trousers by True Bias

I feel like I’ve hit some kind of milestone, or grown up a bit, in my sewing skills after making these Lander trousers from True Bias. But it’s not that I found them hard to make – I found them WONDERFUL to make. I had put these on my Make Nine 2018 on Instagram, and… Read More Lander trousers by True Bias

The Clare Coat by Closet Case patterns

I made a coat – I still can’t quite believe it. It’s the Clare Coat by Closet Case patterns. This has taken about two months to gradually do. Not that I’ve been busy making it that whole time – it’s been snatching small half hours and occasional hours here and there when I could, especially… Read More The Clare Coat by Closet Case patterns

Simplicity 1506 Mens Waistcoat

Hi there. So I do have plans to make a coat and that will be started shortly. Most of it’s cut out and ready to go. But this has been a really fun and exciting little make for me and my husband. We’ve been putting together some cosplay outfits for each other for a few… Read More Simplicity 1506 Mens Waistcoat

The Rosalee dress by Experimental Space

Well hello everybody. Remember me?! Hehehe. I can’t believe the last time that I blogged about making anything was late last year! I have made a few things this year, but my sewjo has definitely been off. Then I recently went to the Sewing Weekender, like I did last year, and that really snapped me… Read More The Rosalee dress by Experimental Space

Colette Myrna and the Sewcialite Soiree

Hi guys, It’s been so long since I’ve written anything because I’ve had a full-on time away from my sewing lately. In September, my son started school for the first time and that’s just a whole new world, not only for him but for my husband and I too. So many forms to fill in,… Read More Colette Myrna and the Sewcialite Soiree

The Sewing Weekender

Hi all, So this weekend I’m going to be binge blogging – is this a thing? I feel like others do nice regular updates to everyone each week and here’s me, nothing for a month and then two at the same time. It is mainly because I’ve spent the entire month, since my July update,… Read More The Sewing Weekender

Ginger Jeans by Closet Case Patterns

Yayyyy I made jeans, I made jeans, la-la-la-la-laaaaaa! So once I had made the Landers earlier in the year, I knew it couldn’t be too far along before I made myself some jeans. I have ready to wear jeans and the fit is always hideous. So once I had learned to make fit adjustments like… Read More Ginger Jeans by Closet Case Patterns
