Sewcially Distancing

Happy Monday! As I mentioned in yesterday’s blog post, today beings the #sewcomfortable sewing challenge over on Instagram! This is my very first time co-hosting a sewing challenge and I am SEW excited!!

My sewsis Faith and I decided to come up with this sewing challenge because we feel that our style is cute and comfy. We decided that if you have to stay in, why not make something comfortable to wear. You can make anything you want to make, as long as you’re comfortable in it. You can use any pattern you like. All you have to do to be featured is tag @faithstjules and @soveryjo on Instagram. Simple as that. The challenge runs from March 30 – April 5. We can’t wait to see all your cute and comfy makes in the #sewcomdortable sewing challenge.

Sewcially Distancing In My Hudson Pants

My first make for the #sewcomfortable challenge are these Hudson Pants from True Bias. I’ve had this pattern printed for over a year and just never got around to making it. These pants have been on my make nine list for both 2019 and 2018. I’m so excited I finally got to make them! I am so in love! These pants are right up my alley. I can wear these around the house, I mean to the office or out and about. (Once this is all over that is) Since I’m working from home these days, these pants are perfect for work.

I made my Hudson Pants using a gray knit fabric from Joann Fabric. I used the same fabric when I made this other cute and comfy make HERE. I made a straight size 14 option A which is the longer pant option. I didn’t make any alterations to the pattern with the exception that I omitted the waist string. I didn’t have any at home and I didn’t want to needlessly leave my house in these #sociallydistancing times.

Speaking of which, I decided to make this super cute t-shirt to go with my Hudson Pants. I used my Silhouette Cameo to make the Sewcially Distancing wording and then I cut out the heat transfer and used my heat press to press the words on the t-shirt.

I’ve actually had my Silhouette machine before I started sewing and I purchased my 1st sewing machine in January of 2014. I purchased it maybe a year before that. Anyway, I decided to include the .SVG file for your use. You can access the file HERE. You just have to log into Dropbox ans download the file. Then open it in your cutting machine software to use it. You can use this file with a Cricut or any other software that uses .SVG files. If you have a Silhouette machine and would like for me to create tutorials on it, let me know. I’m not a pro, but I know how to do the main things and if there’s something I don’t know how to do, I Google it or look it up on YouTube.
