Wow! I just came across this via the Substack app, and was SO thrilled to see our stuff (Seamwork) on this post! And thanks for recommending the YouTube channel. Making videos is my favorite. ❤️
I am more than a little obsessed with sewing my own clothes. I think I need to make the Archer Work Pant! I will tell you that my favorite pattern is the Friday Pattern Company Ilford Jacket. I've made it three times and am nowhere near done with it. The last thing I made was the free belt bag pattern from Core Fabrics. It comes in two sizes and I made both of them, and they both make me so happy. It's the perfect small bag.
It's really the pattern that got my garment sewing ball rolling, because I wanted a chore coat, but couldn't find one I liked that was also affordable. I love the Archer Work Pant but after looking at it more, I fear the shape of it (which is so cool!) would look terrible on me. I have my first pair of Sew House Seven Free Range Slacks cut out and hope to sew it together this weekend. I've also made the Sew Liberated Chanterelle Pants and love those in theory, though I need to adjust some things in order to make them the way I want them to be (I did make the shorts version of those this summer and wore them pretty much every day).
Feels like divine timing—recently have been having daily thoughts about wanting to get back into sewing garments after years away from my machine. Thanks for sharing these resources!

HUGE fan of Seamwork here (and in Portland)! So glad you found it :)
I just saved this so I can come back to it once I get my sewing machine out of storage I loved it so much
Oh I’m so glad! Dust that thing off!
Wow, as a sewing newbie this is an amazing roundup! I can’t wait to dive deep into this and try out some stuff! Thank you!
I am so glad you’re finding it useful! Makes me think I should share more :)
When I click the link for the French chore coat the link that comes up is the ruffled dress. Any chance of a relink?
Such great resources thank you!

It's all about adjusting patterns so they fit our bodies better! So much freedom with sewing. I'll check out that pants pattern!
Oooh! That ruffle dress pattern is so tempting. Love it.
