✂️ September Sewing Makes | Pattern Reviews + Styling Inspiration 👗
Welcome back, sewing friends! In today’s video, I’m sharing five sewing patterns I made this month — a mix of stylish separates and comfy everyday pieces, all perfect for spring and summer. You’ll find everything from wide-leg pants to a breezy blouse, a classic jumpsuit, and even a few fun accessories!

🧵 Pattern #1 – Vacation Vibes Pants by Pattern Emporium
Size range: AU 4–30 (Waist 23.5"–48.5" / Hip 33"–58")
I made a waist size 20 & hip size 18 with cargo pockets, a subtle flare, and a 4cm top-stitched waistband. These pants are the ultimate mix of comfort and style — perfect for a casual holiday look or everyday wear!

👒 Pattern #2 – Sorrento Bucket Hat by Elbe Textiles
I made three versions of this classic bucket hat — two with a wider and longer brim hack for extra sun coverage. It’s a fun, scrap-friendly pattern that’s great for beginners and a must-have for summer!
