We are continuing to celebrating our latest Stonemountain Spotlight! We invited our staff to sew a garment from one of our yarn dyed cottons and indie patterns. We gave them free reign to modify them as little or as much as they wanted to, with amazing results! Be sure to head over to our blog for details about what inspired us, the fabrics we used, and how each of our garments took shape!

Ruby made the Shirt No. 1 from 100 Acts of Sewing with LA Designer Deadstock – Yarn Dyed Cotton Shirting – Small Check – Red/White.

She says, “I love a crisp shirting! I shortened the sleeve as drafted and added a band to the edge. I cropped the shirt, too. I like the added weight of a sleeve band, it shapes the sleeve and adds some structure. I altered the sleeves, which I think could work, but it doesn’t fit like I intended—I should have added extra width to the sleeve opening, widening it to have more ease.

I wouldn’t say this garment is my usual style—I love the fabric, but I can’t really make the top work with my wardrobe. It was a very enlightening sew, but I’m not sure if I’ll make it again or wear what I made. I think the pattern is a great basic and can be used as a starting place to edit or alter design components, I just don’t think mine were all the way successful this time. That’s ok—that’s part of sewing & learning!”

Annie made an Ivie Skirt and Top set from with New York Designer Deadstock – Yarn Dyed Cotton Shirting – Gingham – Navy.

She says, “I like that the fabric is lightweight but not see-through, and that it gathers nicely without feeling bulky.

For the top, I removed the center front seam, drawstring and elastic casings finishes, replacing them with foldover hems and stitched-down elastic. I preferred the more defined gathering created by stitched-down elastic compared to the softer effect of a casing. I used a zig-zag stitch to attach the elastic to the top, allowing the seams to stretch without breaking.

For the skirt, I changed the elastic waistband to a 2-piece contour waistband because I thought I would prefer the fit. That meant I needed to add a center back seam and zipper to the skirt so I could get it on and off and keep the side seam pockets. I used a serger on the skirt for a clean interior finish. It was hard for me to find the notches on my skirt panels after the panels were gathered. I resolved this by marking each notch with a pin an inch or so below.

These pieces are a tad more prairie wear than my normal style, but clothes are fun and I like lots of different kinds. I will probably wear them more as separates—the top with jean shorts and the skirt with a black cropped tank or a band tee.”

We couldn't wait to share this incredible skirt by Kate, one of Stonemountain's sales associates! Kate used a brilliant Fableism Lumiere yarn-dyed cotton to make this beautiful circle skirt—she drafted her own pattern, adding an invisible zipper to the back. We think this is a perfect use of these large-scale Lumiere fabrics, and hope this inspires you to add one (or more!) to your wardrobe!

We're in the middle of a heat wave in the Bay Area, which has inspired us to evaluate our summer shorts situation, stat! If you're in need of new shorts or just want to freshen up your collection, we've got some great ideas for fabric and pattern pairings. The star of this shorts story is definitely our collection of midweights and denim. These fabrics—including canvas and twill weaves in fibers like cotton, linen, and more—are sturdy enough for garments like pants, shorts, skirts, and jackets, and a snap to sew on your home sewing machine. You can use these fabrics for patterns like the shorts, the , and the .

Rebecca made a Shirt No. 1 and Pants No. 1 shorts set from 100 Acts of sewing with Fableism – Checkmate Checkers – Yarn Dyed Cotton – Checkers – Ebony.

She says, “I love the double-check on this fabric. I found that the fabric was a bit too heavy, but it worked out anyway. Sonya Phillips of 100 Acts of Sewing has some great tutorials on her website—I used them to help me hack the Shirt No. 1 into a button-up. I also added pockets to the shorts I made using the Pants No. 1 pattern. I wanted a higher rise on my shorts, so I also did a waist adjustment.

I don’t know if this set is my usual style, but a comfortable pair of shorts and a button-up shirt will work well for me during the warm months ahead. The neckline is a bit lower than I like, but this top looks great over a t-shirt. I’ll definitely wear this set to work and on vacation.”

Jen made the Flaneur Pants from with Fableism – Queen of Hearts – Yarn Dyed Cotton – Gingham Hearts – Blueberry.

She says, “I love how soft this fabric is, and that it gets even softer and a bit more crinkly after washing it. I also love how the hearts add a playful/unexpected touch to the gingham, but they are so subtle you may not even notice them. The blue tones are great because I wear denim on a daily basis, and this gives me that denim feel but in a lighter, more summer-weight fabrication.

I have never made a true pair of pants for myself before, only overalls! I was very intimidated by the concept of fitting them to my body. I’d say this is an excellent pattern to try if you haven’t made pants before. They have no side seams, making them great for working with patterned fabric. They are simpler to fit, since they do not have a side seam, only an inseam. They do have a dart on the sides of the legs where they connect to the waistband, so you can use that to make some fit adjustments (don’t forget to adjust the waistband if you do that!).

I used the Sewline Water Soluble Fabric Glue Pen to baste the pockets on and the waistband down stitching—it kept everything in place. It is a pet peeve of mine when I carefully stitch down a waistband from the right side and then discover I missed some of the seam allowance. The glue pen bonds quickly, doesn’t gum up my needle, and washes away.”

Shirtings are yarn-dyed fabrics that are tightly woven from very fine yarns to create a material that is lightweight, uniform, and opaque. Our designer deadstock Japanese shirtings are 100% cotton, and are crisp with a very smooth hand. These high-quality fabrics are a delight to sew and will make some incredible garments—think shirts, dresses, and more!

Shirting can be a lovely choice for summer dresses! Choose a pattern like the Chalk & Notch Ivie Dress to pair with your favorite shirting—we love the combination of a light, crisp shirting with the garment's ruffles and gathers. Shirtings can be fun to mix and match—because these fabrics are so similar in weight, it's a snap to combine your favorite stripes and checks in garments like the Style Arc Yvette Woven Dress and the Grainline Poppy Dress.

Priya made a Shirt No. 1 and Pants No. 1 shorts set from 100 Acts of Sewing with Organic Cotton Double Gauze – Yarn Dyed Gingham – Dark Brown.

Priya liked the fabric’s muted colors and soft texture, and thought double-gauze would make the perfect summertime pajama set. They made a button-up version of Shirt No. 1, and used the Pants No. 1 pattern to make a matching pair of shorts. We love that a matching set like this can function as pajamas, loungewear, or even as a casual outfit to wear out and about.

Vicki made the Donny Shirt from wiht Textured Yarn Dyed Cotton – Seed Stitch Stripes – Blush.

She says, “The fabric is both pliant and it stays in place, so it’s nice to sew with. The stripes are subtle, and it is a good weight for the pattern.

I did a full bust adjustment and regular fitting for asymmetric shoulders. I added a center seam to the yoke so that I could cut it on the bias and create a chevron at the seam.

Since there is a center front seam, I cut the two fronts out in the reverse direction, resulting in the stripe pattern having mirror symmetry at the center front seam. I did the same with the sleeves.

It is a more boxy fit than I usually wear, but I like it! I’ll wear it with pants and maybe a sweater, depending on the weather. It’s perfect for work, school, and everyday activities. I’ve wanted to make this pattern for quite a while and am really happy I did!”

Olivia made the Shirt No. 1 from 100 Acts of Sewing with Organic Cotton Double Gauze – Yarn Dyed Gingham – Natural/Fawn and Organic Cotton Double Gauze – Yarn Dyed Gingham – Fawn/Espresso.

She says, “I love so many things about this fabric. The first thing that drew me to it was the colors of the gingham—I really love the combination of muted “natural” colors. I am drawn to fabrics that are in this palette, and much of my wardrobe includes these colors. Since this collection of gingham double gauzes coordinate with one another, I thought it would be the perfect opportunity to combine them. The double gauze is SO comfortable to wear, especially in this loose-fitting design. It has ample give, so I never feel constricted, and it is quite breathable. It’s been a long time since I made something in double gauze, and this project reminded me how awesome it is.

I shortened the top by 4 inches, as I prefer a more cropped length. Next, I marked where the top hits me at my waist, adding a ruffle below my waist. I added a seam at center front and back so that I could color block the top. I also topstitched the center seams down on either side so that they would lay flat.

The pattern has you finish the neckline with bias tape. Before topstitching the bias tape along the neckline, I understitched the bias tape to the seam allowance—this was not part of the instructions. This technique ensures that the bias tape does not peek out above the neckline, which I think results in a cleaner finish.

This top is definitely my style, and I see myself wearing it for years to come! I think I will mostly wear it with jeans as a more casual look.”
