The Linda Stretch Pant from Stylearc.com.au and BurdaStyle’s sweatshirt #111 02/2017 make a great pair.
The pants are in a black Ponte knit from Mood Fabrics and the sweatshirt is in a gray sweatshirt fabric from Joann Fabrics.
Comfortable and easy – now that’s a true casual pairing.
I cannot say enough good things about the Carlsbad Cardigan from the Sew Beautiful book by Kennis Wong of Itch to Stitch.
It is 3 simple pattern pieces with a simple drape. The mitered corners gives a professional finish. For an extra special touch I finished the hems with a double needle. This is a great finish on knits.
I am nuts for knits and nuts for this cardigan!
The Knot Dress by Named in the Breaking the Pattern Book by Saara & Laura Huhta. Fabric is a delicious double brushed poly (DBP) from Joann Fabrics.
This is an example of when pattern finds it perfect fabric match. This dress was a joy to make and the book is great with all directions. I also bought four other DBP fabrics from Joann’s as more are in the works!
From idea to finished!
Lily loves fabric! I put the pink fleece down for a second and she pounced on it. So now it is hers.
She also loves boxes. As a sewist I get a lot of deliveries, fabric, notions and general stuff.
Happy kitty – tomorrow, September 30, 2020 is her 5th birthday. She is the BEST!
Butterick B6621 is done. I used a stash knit fabric for my muslin. I am making a muslin on this dress since I am not sure which View I like the best. I started with View B. I am making a short sleeve version to see if I like that. I did not like that you would see the wrong side of the fabric on the waist sash so I just lined them with a solid black light weight knit. I like how this came out so I did get another dress out my muslin make! That’s always a bonus.
We now have sleeves. I promise I will finish this dress!!
A great go-to pattern is the Lavender Tee from Mood Sewciety via pdf. The fabric is also Mood’s jersey floral. Note the double needle finishing details on the neckline and hem. Adds that extra “pop”.
I was working on reorganizing my stash and found the Christening Gowns I made for my daughters many years ago. They are still so beautiful.
This is a simple, easy lovely T-shirt dress. The fabric is a Mood navy/green ponte stripe.
Super lace sleeves
Great Boat Neck
Love that lace bodice.
McCall’s M7771 is a close fitting, one shoulder classic summer dress. There are various sleeve options.
This was a quick dress to make that will give a lot of impact!
