As promised, I’m giving Sew Over It another go. I purchased the Clara pattern last month because as soon as I saw the silhouette, I was smitten. Smitten. Like this is the kind of pattern I want to make a million of. I was just hoping the sleeves wouldn’t be botched up. I proceeded with...
My dear friend who owns Jones & Vandermeer knows my great love of Liberty’s classic Wiltshire. She was so kind to send some of their new, exclusive color way to me to play with. Wiltshire always makes me go a little gaga, but with this color being exclusive, I felt like I needed to make...
I don’t know how you feel about clothes and the way you look in general, but for me, the way I present myself says a lot about who I am. I like for my clothes to reflect my personality. In the day to day grind at home, when I’m with the kids all day long,...
Last year I wrote a post about the Eve Dress by Sew Over It, which I made in a Rifle Paper Co rayon. I love that version, but there were some fit issues that became glaringly more apparent when I made the same dress in slightly more structured lawn. Since I painted the pattern in...
Welcome to Olivia Jane Handcrafted! I'm Meredith and this is my creative journal. Here you'll find loads of inspiration for a handmade wardrobe, home decor, bags, and quilts. I even have plenty of projects and tutorials to get you started or help you along the way.
is there a way to get this pattern in a format without all the extra stuff, it’s alot of pages. thanks
Thank you so much for the tutorial! I had just bought an I Pad Pro and was leaving for a conference. I was able to use fabric from my stash. For the main fabric I actually had enough scrap from a piano border made of batiks that was left over from a quilt. I think it came out really cute and was perfect for traveling! I even made a little zip pouch for the charging cord to match
Hi, Meredith. Thanks for sharing this tutorial! This is such a cool laptop bag and I’m going to try to make it this weekend but I have one question: why did you cut three pieces of the main fabric? Why didn’t you cut one long piece and one shorter piece, as you did with the lining fabric? Is it just because of the foam flex?
Great question! I did that because I was working with a directional print and I didn’t want it to be upside down on either side. If you are using a print that has no clear direction you could cut it like you do the lining. I think you will love your case! I have used that very same one everyday since I made it years ago.
I can’t figure out what to do with the G foot to sew down the binding. Can you explain this? Bear in mind that the main piece of fabric is very thick with the foam and cannot be folded over. Thank you.
