The Jessica by Sinclair Patterns

Sinclair has been another of my favorite designers since I tried my first one! I've loved the fit, how easily they go together, the fact that the pattern pieces are perfectly marked, and that the instructions are really phenomenal. They have all gone together easily, and become staples in my wardrobe.

I've had the Jessica pattern for a while, and have been intending to try it for months, but have been putting it off for no real reason at all. I just never made time to sew it. And I don't know why, because all I needed was about an hour or two. 🤷
When I got this Liverpool fabric from Amelia Lane Designs, I knew it needed to be something beautiful! I played around with different ideas, and actually printed a different pattern first, but then remembered this one. I'm super glad I did, because I think this was the perfect pattern for this beautiful fabric! 

Let's Talk about the Pattern:

The pattern is called the Jessica Bodycon Dress. It's a fitted dress, with negative ease everywhere. It hugs the curves and its really flattering. It has a cap sleeve option, or regular sleeves (that can be cut to different lengths). It can be finished with a straight hem or a flounce (and there are two options for the flounce). 

It is a perfect pattern to use with stable knits, like liverpool or ponte, but you can always use something more lightweight as well.


I chose to use the straight hem. I blended sizes according to the measurement chart, and I really do like the fit. I also used the cap sleeve piece for my dress. 

As I mentioned, the fabric I used is liverpool. Liverpool is one of my favorite fabrics to sew and o wear! It is easy to sew, and doesn't wrinkle! So, I don't have to iron it before wearing. 😉

Go Check out the Fabric Here! It's a NEW ARRIVAL at Amelia Lane Designs.

Breaking Ground... FINALLY trying out Itch To Stitch

I've heard nothing but positive reviews on Itch To Stitch Patterns, and I've been meaning to try them out. In fact, I may own one or two, but have never sewed them. When I heard about this "Breaking Ground" Blog Tour, I knew it was the perfect time to try out one of these designers that I've been wanting to try, but apparently haven't had the motivation to sew. I had a scrap of this liverpool left over that I really love, so I had to find the perfect thing to make. I remembered seeing this cute petal pencil skirt on the Itch To Stitch site. It looked easy enough, and would be perfect for my fabric, so I thought, "Why not start with that?" **This post may contain my affiliate links.

Look at my new skir...

January Releases from Amelia Lane Designs

I always get so excited about new fabric releases from Amelia Lane Designs. Frequently, they give me the opportunity to sew something I might not otherwise and try something new. I have learned a lot sewing for them, like how to sew swim and athletic wear. But I've also learned that I actually LIKE wearing fun prints and designs that I haven't always worn.  ** Disclosure: I have included affiliate links to patterns used in this post. If you choose to purchase a pattern using my link, I will receive a small commission of the sale at no additional cost to you.** For this release, I tried something that is really not me - this fun animal print! There have been a few releases recently with fun animal-print fabrics, and I have not sewn any of them, because I thought I wouldn't like wearing them. But after seeing some of the other sewists in the ALD Facebook Group sharing their makes, I knew I HAD to try it! I am really glad I did. This dress makes me so happy! This fabric is a d...
