The #rhapsodyblouse from @lovenotions is one of my all time faves and proof is that I’ve made 8 and can’t seem to stop! There are many options and all of mine are very differen😁
This is one of my #skylarhoodie from @sinclairpatterns with scraps of leftover fabrics. I used the flowery print originally to make the #nyokadress , also from @sinclairpatterns😉
This is my 2nd #seychellestop from @ItchtoStitch and I used red linen for the short pleated sleeve option. I sewed the facing exposed (hack) & added simple decorative stitches to the facing and hem. This version is more structured👍🏼
The #boyfriendcardigan from @lovenotions has been re-released with improved sizing and even more options than it already had. I used the new duster length version but made it even longer... 10” more. I also added cute faux leather accents and made it sleeveless. Such fun 🤩
This is my 1st #seychellestop from @ItchtoStitch and I made it during pattern testing. This woven design is a classic and well fitting. I always love a V neckline and this one uses facings. The sleeves on this version are long with slight gathers on the top and the bottom is gathered into a narrow cuff with a slit and single button loop. Love the delicate details. There’s a short pleated sleeve option too👍🏼
This is my lovely new red 😍 #WBMtropicana from @wardrobebymepatterns in a soft Swiss dot rayon ❤️. I really enjoy convertible collar and well drafted 2 piece raglan sleeve and the Tropicana has all of this PLUS the cutest slit detail of the sleeve hem 🤩
