Hi everyone, here is my video about my 6 sewing makes for May 2020. I made 2 skirts, 3 tops and 1 dress last month and the patterns used were:
Diana top by Style Arc pattern - this is a v neck jersey knit tank top with fold over neckline.
Simplicity 2058 Amazing fit skirt, a panelled skirt with a range of lengths, which also featured in my April makes, but in a long length.
Astair tee by French Navy Now patterns - kimono sleeve t-shirt with turn up cuffs
Miette skirt by Tilly and the Buttons - a wrap around skirt with no zipper or button needed
Plaintain tee by Deer & Doe patterns - this is a free pdf download for jersey knits with a choice of sleeve length
New Look 6614 - I chose view A, but this pattern has various options. The one I sewed has wrap around waist ties and thin straps.

![How to make a wool coat step by step DIY
This is a video all about the construction of my latest wool coat, where I show you how to make fitting adjustments such as a narrow shoulder adjustment and a bicep adjustment. I am using the sewing pattern Vogue V9133 which is an easy to sew blazer but I have turned it into a wool winter coat by adding a lining and sewing a horsehair canvas as interfacing to the lapels, rather than using fusible. This coat was made over a number of days which you will see due to the shifts in lighting and outfits. This shows you step by step how to make a coat using tailoring techniques.
I am mostly a self taught sewist who is learning through sewing different things, so if you are interested in following my progress then I update my Instagram stories more regularly:

The wool fabric was given to me by https://www.minerva.com in exchange for a blog post which you will find on their new website:

Horsehair canvas was purchased from William Gee:

All notions and the pattern were purchased by myself.
