Seamwork Lyle in Solvang
This dress is made from the Seamwork Lyle pattern. I’ve been a member of Seamwork since the beginning. I enjoy getting their patterns each month, even if I don’t make them as often as I’d like. I’ve really liked some of their recent ones, so I’ll need to find more time to make theirs. In…

Seamwork Sorbetto Tank Top from Spoonflower Pumpkin Leftovers
A very long time ago I said I would post about the Seamwork Sorbetto top that I made using leftover fabric from a Sprout patterns Zippy Top that I made. Well it has been so long that back then, Seamwork was called Colette Patterns and Sprout has since gone out of business (although their parent company Spoonflower…

Pop Art French Macaron Dress — Seamwork Myrtle
Rumor has it that it’s French Macaron Day. I have no idea who decides when “days” are for various things, but I’ve been meaning to post this dress for a while anyways so today is as good a day as any. This is the Seamwork (formerly Colette) Myrtle dress. The fabric is Spoonflower’s Performance Piqué printed…

Seamwork Veronica
Back to an older project for a bit. This one is the Seamwork Veronica made from a quilting cotton. Veronica is a simple dress with a waist and elastic at the back. It went together pretty easily. The instructions were clear and not many pieces. But I think I made a poor choice in fabric…

Velvet Seamwork Camden Cape
Now for something sorta recent but sorta old. This is the Seamwork Camden cape. These photos are from this past February when I finally finished it, but I say “sorta old” because I actually started it about 2 years ago. As in, I had finished everything but hemming the lining. But never got around to…

Seamwork Neenah
Here’s another one from way back. This is the Seamwork Neenah. The fabric is some Ponte from Fabric.com that I had originally ordered as a potential fabric for my April O’Neil costume, but obviously didn’t end up using. I was making it as a muslin for a dress I wanted to do for Costume College.…

Seamwork Aberdeen Shirt
This is the Abderdeen by Seamwork. I used some double brushed poly that I got from Califabrics. I really like the print with all the snacks on it and the fabric is overall pretty comfortable. I was also really happy with how the pattern turned out. This is definitely one I think I’ll make again,…

Collette Seamwork 3004: Manila leggings
From the January issue of Seamwork, I made the Manila leggings. These fall into the muslin category. Going into this, I knew I was using some of the most horrible fabric known to man. It’s some sparkly pink 2-way stretch lycra. And by stretch, I mean that it stretches and kinda stays there. It has…

Colette Seamwork 3001: Oslo
I recently subscribed to the Colette patterns e-magazine Seamwork. For $6 per month, you get a digital magazine full of useful and informative articles (I’ve enjoyed both issues so far) and at least 2 patterns. The patterns are the type you should be able to do in a couple hours which is awesome. Because those…
