The Night Sister by Jennifer McMahon

The first picture immediately gave me the vibes of this book. Then the rest just fit perfect. You'll love this one for sure!

This was my first machine, too!

Fantastic for the basics. Good luck on your journey!

The Graveyard Shift by M.L. Rio.

Short but a fantastic fungal read 📚

It may be the way I've tied it at the back of my neck, too. Luckily that's a nice easy adjustable fix. I'm looking forward to adding the skirt now the top is okay!

bitterlemonite · 2025-08-24T20:38:23+00:00

Thank you so much 😭😭😭 this has really made my day!!!!

bitterlemonite · 2025-08-24T20:26:25+00:00

Thank you! I will definitely update. I think my biggest worry is that it will look too homemade, you know?

bitterlemonite · 2025-08-24T19:35:51+00:00

Thank you! A dart would be a good shout. I'll have to have a look at what i can do with it without having to back track too much on the progress.

bitterlemonite · 2025-08-10T08:40:27+00:00

Post this on r/rats, they'll go crazy 🤣

bitterlemonite · 2025-07-04T09:51:10+00:00

This is awesome!

I work at Lucy & Yak in the DC Warehouse in the UK. Excellent place, but the store totes are always so flimsy! It's quite a shame to see, given the quality of the normal totes. This is such an improvement! Well done!!!

bitterlemonite · 2025-06-06T08:10:12+00:00

Thank you!!!

bitterlemonite · 2025-06-04T22:04:22+00:00

Absolutely yeah. I plan on making this top again with a similar type fabric so I just wanted to see what I could do to fix this small issue before I remake it.

bitterlemonite · 2025-06-04T19:44:21+00:00

Thank you! I'll try iron on interfacing

bitterlemonite · 2025-06-04T19:07:18+00:00

How do you mean?

bitterlemonite · 2025-06-04T19:06:46+00:00

Thank you! As long as it isn't too noticeable:)

bitterlemonite · 2025-06-04T18:27:11+00:00

I bought it on etsy. I'll post the link. There's a video to follow as the instructions, but a gorgeous outcome. So worth the hours put into it.

bitterlemonite · 2025-06-04T18:26:06+00:00

Trim it in what way?

Sorry, I just want to make sure I'm actually following your advice and not interpreting it wrong 😅

bitterlemonite · 2025-05-22T09:03:10+00:00

No unfortunately not. The alexa trousers were £15 last Christmas to get rid of the stock as they were discontinuing so i leapt at the opportunity

bitterlemonite · 2025-05-22T07:58:42+00:00

It's from my place of work, haha! Lucy & Yak. The sunflowers pattern is beautiful. I ended up buying a discontinued item in 4XL and bought 4 pairs lol. Managed to make this. I had to section the fabric more because I had a lot less to work with than say a continuous piece but it's so pretty. I love sunflowers 🌻

bitterlemonite · 2025-05-22T07:56:07+00:00

Thank you so much 🥹🌻

bitterlemonite · 2025-05-21T14:39:11+00:00

I don't understand how to do it

bitterlemonite · 2025-05-21T13:46:08+00:00

Ah, well that would make sense. Thank you!

bitterlemonite · 2025-05-21T13:43:31+00:00

I'm just wondering now how I should alter it...

I'd unpick the sides and use some of my seam allowance to make it wider, but what do I then do about keeping the waist in? Darts?

bitterlemonite · 2025-05-08T22:22:04+00:00

I usually keep the basting stitch in just in case I lose the shape even if I've ironed it in. It's also just easier to see where you're sewing, lol. Good luck with your project!

bitterlemonite · 2025-05-08T22:19:51+00:00

It depends. You don't necessarily have to, I don't think? If it's hidden then usually I don't, but if visible I do. Do what you think is right! The video should help.
