It’s time for another round-up of your makes from our patterns. This one feels a little different from the last ones, since most of us have been under quarantine or social distancing restrictions of one sort of another for a month and a half now. But there’s still a lot of inspirational sewing happening – maybe more than usual, because of the circumstances!
I’ve rounded up some Instagram hashtag standouts from March and April for your viewing pleasure. So grab a cup of something soothing and start planning your next make while checking out the highlights!
Starting with Liesl + Co. makes, we’ve seen a number of sews from our fall patterns in the hashtags – especially from the Camp Shirt + Dress pattern. Lots of great garments here that I wish I had in my own closet!
Clockwise from top left:
- This striped Maritime Knit Top by @birdstalkpatterns is a classic.
- Check out the pattern matching on this banana-themed Classic Shirt by @hartlandquiltshop!
- @vpilles modeled her gray Terrace Dress without the belt, and I love the chic vibe.
- @kmc.laowai made a perfectly-fitting Camp Shirt in a cheery floral print.
- I’m sure this Men’s Metro T-Shirt sewn by @moonlightseamstress will see a lot of wear.
- @maryamsews made a pair of wardrobe-anchoring camel trousers using the Hollywood Trousers pattern.
But wait, there are more!
Clockwise from top left:

Clockwise from top left:
- How cute is this Lullaby Layette bodysuit by @melissalkruger?
- @grapefruit.handmade made this adorable set of coordinating shirts as a baby gift. She used the Metro T-Shirt pattern for mama, the School Bus T-Shirt pattern for big sibling and expected bundle of joy, and then used a Simplicity pattern to make a matching doll tee. (You can buy the Metro and School Bus patterns as a bundle in the shop!)
