ON ME // patterns: and ; fabric: Choker: Lips:
I will be the first in line to say that I am a huuuuge fan of mixing – whether that be with color, print, textures, and now, we can add sewing patterns to my resume! No, this is certainly not the first time I have have mixed patterns but I haven’t done it in a while and wanted to remind you (and moi) that it’s always a fun option! I was able to mix two reliable patterns that I love to use and are familiar with the fit and make something new! This week, I choose to work with (sleeve) and (dress).
The inspiration came from a sketch I drew last week,
I think it took more time to take and edit these photos than it did to make the dress. From cut to hem, it took less than 3 hours. I stop at lot when I sew, I like to admire the fabric and try it on a few times. Anyone else do that? I do it a LOT.
The fabric, I have been dying to use for a loooooong time! I found it over at Pacific Fabrics when I went to their Grand Opening in Bellevue, WA, if you are local got stop in for a visit!
The red and pink combo instantly had my heart, I have about 1 yard left – what should I make with it?
I love mixing stripes, prints, and colors and this fabric was the perfect set up. So if you want to recreate this dress, remember “sleeve B” from and “dress C” . OH! Before I forget, change up the pattern around the bodice, everything chance you get. I even cut the back into 2 pieces (and added a center back seam) so that I could play more with the stripes.
If you decide to give this a try, share it with me on and/or give me a shout out on . I would love to hear from you and celebrate with you on your newest creation!
Alright lovelies, I’m off to my sew room to work on some more magic. Have a glamorous day!
