Firefly Fabrics

My FB sewing group is doing a "first and last" thing right now, so here's mine: Emma's first figure dress, on her 4th birthday, Memorial Day Weekend 2004, the day she turned 4. And the only fabric I have left, a 42"x24" piece that I'm turning into her last figure dress, which will be worn Memorial Day Weekend 2021, the day she turns 21. Wish me luck because there is going to be some mad Frankensteining at play. . . .... #rollerskating #artisticskating #figureskating #artisticrollerskating #skating #skatingdress #figureskatingdress #sewing #fabric #patinaçãoartística #patinageartistique #pattinaggioartistico #patinajeartistico #pattinaggio #patinação #patinacao #patinaje #patinage #fireflyfabrics #stretchfabric

Well I finally did it...I cut into my precious French tweed, Chinese silk charmeuse, and Italian silk organza to make the Chanel jacket I've been putting off for years. Bonus -- I found silk buttonhole twist and vintage couture stay tape in my stash from my grandmother's old sewing stuff that I just never threw away. I've been hoarding these things (not gonna lie -- I actually didn't even know how to use either of them until I started researching this project) for 20+ years ...and I'm thrilled I get to finally put them to good use! No better time to start this 200 hour project than when we're still at home and looking at increased restrictions in the coming weeks. . . . #chanel #frenchcouture #chaneljacket #chanelcouture #sewing #couturesewing #littlefrenchjacket #coutureathome #handsewing #frenchtweed #silkcharmeuse #memade #sewyourownwardrobe #diy #pandemichobbies #sew #sewyourownclothes See more

I've run out of skating outfits to make, so I spent a couple days sewing for myself for a change! Olive trench coat with blush silk shantung lining and abalone buttons, with a secret rhinestone in the lining, of course. #memadeeveryday #sewvember #taylortrench #sewyourownwardrobe #sewing #diywardrobe #Ididntscrewupthebuttonholes
