#fbf to before I knew what Instagram was, and when I started really getting into making clothes for myself. . . I made this skirt using Simplicity 1322. I still have it, except I've gained a few, so I didn't wear it this fall. I also love this RTW blazer I'm wearing with it. I need to recreate it in different colors. Do you remember the first thing you ever sewed for yourself? It doesn't have to be clothes. Comment below and let know. . . . #faithstjulesmade #simplicitypattens #mythrowback #sewfit #isewmyownclothes #mystyle #wrapskirt #myneutralstyle #mysewingskill #mynaturalhair #naturalgirlsrock #curlygirlslife

I am joining in on #sewfancypants2020 to talk about this week's topic, "fitting." I have come to really love sewing my own jeans, however fitting is a whole process. The way that you cut denim will affect the fitting. Two of the most important tips that I learned about cutting your jeans pattern to have a great fit is: 1) Always created with a muslin first so that you can make as many adjustments as you need to before cutting the fabric. This actually goes for creating anything. 2) While cutting your pattern pieces, make sure that you cut each piece one by one and not on the fold. If you cut on the fold, you will more than likely experience leg twists while wearing your jeans, because the fabric naturally wants to pull in the direction of the weave. That is why it is so important to cut the jeans one by one, believe me, I know from experience. . . I wish that I knew tip #2 when making my first pair of jeans. Now it's sitting on my shelf looking sad, because it's uncomfortable to wear. . . @katiekortmanart @nf_merritts #isewfancypants #isewmyownclothes #imakejeans #denimlove #isewforme #ilovetosew #ashjeans #megannielsenpatterns #sewwhatyouwant #madebyfaith #faithstjulesmade #slowfashion #fashiondiy #diystyle

Taste the rainbow . . This is one of my all time favorite jacket, I call it the skittles jacket. I found this fun ponte knit fabric at @moodfabrics during one of my yearly trips to New York. I wasn't sure at first what to make with it, but when I saw @simplicity_creative_group #s8222 by @mimigstyle I knew that was it. I wear this jacket quite often, especially when I wear all black, as I do from time to time, because it gives my all black ensemble a pop of all the colors. Now, off to the movies I go to watch "Queen and Slim." . . #sewingwithfaith #faithstjules #skittlesjacket #mystyle #insewmyownclothes #sewinginreallife #queenandslimmovie #diyfashionista #sewingblogger #blackgirlswhosew #fashionbloggers #myoutfitofthenight

No, I'm not a model, but when I put on an outfit that I made myself, I will turn a Sam's Club bathroom into a photoshoot location 😂😂 (Yes, this really is the women's bathroom at Sam's. The lighting was perfect. I figured, why not get a pic in while I'm shopping 😂😂). I later took it to the mall to go shopping with the kids. Swipe left to see other views of this look. . . I was really feeling this outfit. I actually used an athleisure pattern to make my jacket. I used #m7482 for the jacket. I love the dramatic hood. I also used #s1283 by @mimigstyle for the matching pants. This is still one of my most favorite pants pattern ever. . . Fabric: stretch corduroy from @joann_stores ❤❤ Bag: this is the @evvemilano bag that I won from a contest hosted @kyrzayda_ The winner was chosen based on their answer to "what you love most about yourself." It makes sense, because the late Kyrzayda was all about self love. I hold this bag near and dear, because I always admired her style and her messages, and to be chosen by her to win this bag meant a lot to me. Comment below and tell me the strangest place you've taken a photo of you outfit. . . #faithstjulesmade #sewerstyle #sewyourlook #modelbehavior #creativecontent
