The Stitch Up – July Was Jam-Packed With Sewing Joy

above @NEVER_ENDING_COUTURE_TRICOT‘S PHENOMENAL PEPPERMINT LOUNGEWEAR PANTS

What a pile of precious makes you’ve showered upon us this month, Peppermint pals. If beautiful jpegs were diamonds, and pride and joy were dollar bills, we’d be some of the richest folk in the world (and hopefully not descend into the sort of unethical behaviour they’re known for). So it’s probably for the best we traffic in warm and fuzzy feelings instead.

To celebrate you priceless jewels, we’ve put together a roundup of some of our favourite makes we’ve seen this July. If you want to show off your sensational sewing, be sure to tag us in your posts and you might see yourself in The Stitch Up in months to come!


Barbie Tingz 

We simply have to shout out some of the brilliant Barbie-esque makes we’ve seen recently. @Lo.Ve.Brands is hot-to-trot in her pink Peppermint Spring Shorts while @Kasey.Sews is as pretty as a princess in her pastel Peppermint Wrap Skirt. Get the Barbiecore look with our essential guide


A Rozelle By Any Other Name 

Some sensational Peppermint Rozelle Slip makes are slithering in to delight our senses, like @Silberkind’s beachy blue linen number and @MaisieScannell’s dreamy denim blue satin piece – the perfect wedding guest outfit!


You Better Stitch

The groovy Noelle @__StitchBitch__ has put out a cool tutorial for a drafted bralette top of her own invention! We are enjoying how many people are pairing their makes with a Peppermint pattern like @CaitSnyd_Sews in her Peppermint Spring Shorts and @Leila.Makes in her Peppermint Wrap Skirt

PRINT-A-PALOOZA

A bold colourful print that stops you in your tracks can turn any pattern into a showstopping make – @MyBaliCloset’s dazzling Peppermint Pocket Skirt is made from three amazing Ankara prints and @Sharlene_Handmade_It’s jubilant Peppermint Milton Pinafore is sewn up in a beautiful botanical collab between Marni Stuart and Nerida Hansen.


VALLEY GIRL

@VibesByJG was our cover girl in the June Stitch Up with her joyful Peppermint Valley Jumpsuit. And she’s simply not stopped churning them out creating three more of equal excellence, a bunch of which are made from upcycled bed sheets! We stan.  


LOUNGE LIZARD 

Another special shout-out has to go to @Never_Ending_Couture_Tricot’s phenomenal Peppermint Loungewear pants which she has paired with some fabulously frilly Fibre Mood tops to create a couple of outstanding outfits.
