Love Notions Willow Wrap Dress

 If 1 Love Notions Willow Wrap Dress is good, 2 is great, 3 is an even better thing. What is 4? Fantastic!!

I’m in the use it up mode with my fabric stash. I want to buy new fabric but where do I put it? So I plan on using what I have as much as possible. We’ll see how long I can hold out!

I made a sleeveless version with a bit of a fuller skirt.  I love it!

Love Notions Willow Wrap Dress

I made another Love Notions Willow Wrap dress............A classic blue dress is a wardrobe staple. Lots to mix and match in my closet.  I used a blue ITY knit fabric from my stash I purchased from Fabric Mart Fabrics online sometime last year or the year before.  Who know?!

Love Notions Willow Wrap Dress

Dear Hubby took me away for the weekend to a Gospel Music Fest and of course I had to make something new to wear.  I made the Love Notions Willow Wrap Dress from a DTY knit fabric in my stash from Fabric Mart Fabrics.

I wanted a maxi skirt on this version.  I just cut out two rectangles on the fold about 41" long.  I gathered the top of the skirt and added to the wrap bodice.  Perfect!

Love Notions Laundry Day Tee

New Year has Dear Hubby dragging me to the Park to walk.  I'm usually grumpy while I'm walking but glad I did it when it's over.  Hormones!  

I needed a few longer tanks to wear with my leggings when I walk and knew the Laundry Day Tee would be perfect.  I lengthened it to 25" and used neck and arm hole bindings.  This is an easy sew and uses 1 yard of fabric.

Maybe two new tops will cheer me up while walking.  Between hot flashes & hormones I hope these tops keep me cool.

Until next time.................

Pattern Emporium Meet You There Surprise Dress

You know I can not just make a pattern once and be done with it.  My second version of the Pattern Emporium Meet You There Dress was from a cotton fabric that didn't have as much drape as the eggplant floral challis version.  But nonetheless it was a great sew.  

Dear Hubby took a pre-Church selfie with me.  We were matching this morning!

Little did I know until I was in the sunlight that these colorful triangles appeared on my dress!  It looks like confetti!

I was a pattern tester for Sinclair Patterns Tuva Cardigan.  What a great pattern!  Little did I know when I sewed my test version from this Jungle Green (Teal) ponte knit fabric that it would match my Meet You There Dress.  Things work out!
