Another Blue wardrobe piece! A Love Notions Breckenridge Henley top to wear with a cut skirt I purchased from Amazon. Why? Who knows why I bought a skirt from Amazon! But I like it!

Another blue dress for my wardrobe. I am in love with the Love Notions Olympia Dress in a floral double knit fabric from Fabric Mart Fabric in my stash. Such a quick sew. I only had a bit of fabric leftover so I thought that a flutter style sleeve would be nice.

I need to find something else blue to sew since my serger & machine both have blue threads.
Happy Sewing!

I got the Blues! Really, I'm trying to limit my black wardrobe sewing a little. So why not navy?
The Love Notion Whistler Dress was on my radar in a poly/rayon/lycra ponte knit I purchased sometime in the past from Fabric Mart Fabrics. I could not decide what sleeve so I just made a simple 3/4 length sleeve.

What used to take me a day to sew up now takes almost a week. The grandbabies are just the cutest things and take a lot of energy. But I wouldn't trade them for anything.
Happy Sewing!

Another cooler weather dress. I liked the Pattern Emporium Field of Dreams & Meet You There Dresses I made last year so I thought that the Every Day's a Weekend Dress would make a great sweater dress.

I think this dress will be a great basic in my wardrobe. I can wear it with boots, heals, tights or flats. I can dress it up or wear it very casual. I'll be looking forward to more cool "Florida" days.
Happy Sewing

The third one is a charm right? This version of the Designer Stitch Dita dress is my cold weather wear. Long sleeves, midi length and a tweed look knit that has an almost sweater feel to it. I am not usually a tan/brown wearer but this one is doable and I love how it turned out.

I like that you can wear the dress with either the self-fabric belt/band, a RTW belt or plain. I can see wearing this with boots, t-strap heels or even ballet flats. Very versatile and classy.
Happy Sewing

I'm on a sewing roll with the Dita dress! I thought that this floral liverpool knit was the perfect fabric for a shorter version of the Dita dress. I made the elbow length sleeves and drafted a flared (1/2 circle) style skirt. It was nice not having to match up as many seams too.

I opened the neck up by turning back the neck points like a small collar on this version to give it some air. I can't wait to wear it come warmer weather.
Happy Sewing!

Hope you have a Happy & Healthy New Year! I finished off the year being able to sew up 3 dresses! I don't seem to have much free time to indulge in sewing. But I try to fit it in when I can.
We had a few cold days here in Florida and I don't own many dresses that are warm. The Designer Stitch Dita dress caught my eye.
