I love sheath dresses both in woven and knit fabric and I’ve made three #tessasheathdress from @lovenotions and love them all😊. My red muslin is very wearable and let me tweak the fit. My polka dot version is a mash up with the #sybilillusionskirt collection and yesterday I was color blocking 😊 and there’s nothing more FUN that that 👌🏻
.
.
The #tessasheathdress is $5 today ❤️

In my blog post, I’m sharing all the deets on my three dresses. ➡️SWIPE for pics 📸 and all the links are in my bio 👆🏼

Butterick 6684 has 4 views and I made two of them. They are blouses but I lengthened them into dresses resulting in “shift style dresses” 😀
.
.
I made two. Both with chiffon, both very special chiffons too. The Black chiffon with velvety dots was a Christmas gift from @fuzzybabyseals and the brown/beige crinkle chiffon has been with me since New Zealand days 😊
.
.
In my blog post, I’ve discussed some construction issues I found and in my video, I’ve filmed many practical steps, focused on the necklines of both views 🎥

Most patterns are designed to be made with either woven fabrics OR knit fabrics. Many of us like like to play with adapting that fabric recommendation.... the #vivacedolman from @lovenotions takes the guess work out of the picture. It has 2 patterns in 1. A Separate pattern for woven and another for knit fabric 😀
.
.
I made two. One in Rayon spandex and another in chiffon. .
.
In my blog post, I’ve gone over some sewing constructions details when working with “hard to manipulate drapy wovens”... and have a little overlapped collar sewing technique video embedded in the post 🎥

A long cardi with raglan sleeves, side slits & a hood? The new #castillocardigan from @itchtostitch sounds like the perfect, easy to fit & sew style to me 😀
.
.
I chose a thicker knit to have a coatigan type look and it’s perfect for my upcoming mild winter ❄️ .
.
I didn’t have twill tape to stabilize the neckline and came up with a solution that is also pretty & I’m sharing it on the blog and the channel. Also for those newer to sewing, there is a full video #sewalong 🎥

I’d always wanted a classic & timeless denim style shirt dress with all the top stitching, sleeve tabs, pocket flaps... the works. This dreamed dress came true using the #melodydolman shirt pattern from @lovenotions 😁
.
.
I chose the Melody Dolman to be today’s Feature Friday pattern ($5 today) as the guest blogger. I love being an ambassador because I was able to feature my favorite pattern 😃

Have you ever seen such a HUGE scale 🌸🌺🌼 print?! I hadn’t when I purchased this fabric and I always knew it would require a simple garment style to let it shine. I made the #wearableheidi a #freepdfpattern by @wearablepatterns in collaboration with Kristen from @dahlia_sewciety . Come check out our versions on both our channels 🎥
.
.
I fitted the bust darts by giving them concave shaping. All the details about #concavedarts are on ⌨️📸 the blog along with how I chose to line the dress on the channel 🎥The links are in my bio 👆🏼

Mega wash pants with only 2 pattern pieces and an elasticated waist? Yes please! I really enjoyed making the pants and shorts included in Simplicity 1668! I chose my best flowery rayon prints too 🌸🌺🌼

I made the #matildadress from @megannielsenpatterns in this amazing blue linen a little while ago and just managed to sew on 18 buttons today. This Shirtdress has a billion pattern pieces and features and that makes it that much more fun 😊
