Angel's by CKC

The sleeves are what drew me in! I loved the look of the pleats and the fullness on the shoulders. It is such an easy sew, because it's a basic tee shirt with as Shannon has called it, "extra" sleeves!

This is CKC Angel's!
It really is so cute and so quick!

All About the Pattern:

This pattern is drafted for knit fabrics. You can use just about any knit fabric, but keep in mind that the more stable the fabric you use, the more structure you'll have on the sleeves (something like liverpool or ponte would be AMAZING). You can choose to make a top length or a dress length. The dress is a basic knit, tee shirt dress (swing dress style). The top is a semi-fitted tee. You can choose to sew either the crew neckline or the scoop neck. The sleeves are pleated down each side towards the armscye and have a dart at the top to help hold the shape.
My Top:

I sewed the top length for this pattern. Based on my measurements, I chose a size small, and I'm happy with the fit. My top is made with the crew neckline. I was afraid the scoop neckline would be too low, but looking back at the photos, I think it would be modest enough. I will probably try the scoop neckline next time! I chose a lightweight DBP (double brushed poly) for this top. 
My Experience Sewing This Pattern:

The top went together quickly and easily. It only took slightly longer than a regular tee shirt, because it takes a few minutes to pleat the sleeves, but it really is a FAST sew! I'm happy with the fit, and I'm sure I'll sew it again! 


It's on SALE

The pattern is on sale with new releases for 1 week!! Don't miss out on the introductory price 😊

The Tank Dress 3-ways by Pattern Emporium

It's been a while since I posted. I've been sewing, helping my kindergartener with virtual school, and living, which just hasn't left me with a lot of time for blogging! Life happens!  But... I've kind of missed writing, and I decided that now was the perfect time to make a new post. I had the opportunity to sew a pattern I really liked, and I got excited enough to find the motivation to write about it! 😉 **Disclosure: I have included my affiliate link to the pattern used in this post. If you choose to purchase a Pattern from Pattern Emporium using my link, I will receive a small commission of the sale at no additional cost to you.** The pattern I tested is from Pattern Emporium.

There are a couple of designers that seem to fit me well with no adjustments to the pattern pieces and this is one of them. I
