Some my have wondered if Homer ever got his matching coat. Well the answer is yes! So here he is, the world's most uncooperative model.

Today's theme for the #MadeWithWoolContest is Bags,Purses and Totes. I've been watching from the sidelines so far, but today I get to join in the fun. This is my fold-over tote made with Harris Tweed and faux fur. The interior is constructed with quilting cotton. There is a padded divider for a laptop, a zipper pocket and a variety of slots for all the other stuff I need to carry. I love the versatility of this style, which can be either a messenger bag or big deep tote. #mainelydad, #mainelymenswear, #MadeWithWoolContest, #harristweed, #fauxfurmessengerbag, #makersgonnamake
Thank you Closet Case Patterns for featuring me on your blog. The response it's generated has been overwhelming. It's been especially gratifying to see the number of sewists who want to dive into menswear. I say it all the time.....if I can do this, anyone can. #Repost @closetcase.patterns with @make_repost

Today on the blog we have the first Sewist Spotlight of 2020 with Duane, @mainelymenswear. After he made the most beautiful Sienna maker jacket at the end of the year we checked out his blog and fell into a fascinating world of handmade life on the coast of Maine. Couture garments! Sailboats! Mini Schnauzers (meet Homer!) All wrapped up in a package of good information, a dose of humour and some seriously timeless style.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Head over to the blog to read a great interview with this talented sewist! __________________________⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

Reposting. Another great make by @carly.makesclothes with this crazy fabric. ❤️Stunning with the olive. Check out her feed for some serious twirl action! #metrotextiles, #sewistsofinstagram ,#whoelsehasthisfabric
Because I'm next to useless with IG stories.....here's the "cyber group photo shoot"! Three makers using the same fabric in their own way. Are there more out there? Kyle @vacuumingthelawn in her signature dress + shrug combination. ❤️ @oakfabrics in a Wiksten Haori combined with cozy flannel. ❤️ And my @closetcase.patterns Sienna Maker Jacket hack. Have you used this fabric? Know someone who has?
