The Ellie and Mac Monday Morning Dress

When this pattern released, part of me wanted to try it, but I didn't, because I have another pattern that is kind of similar. 

However, when you want to do something, you can't stop thinking about it until you do try it, right? 

So when, Ellie and Mac announced the Summer Dress Event, I HAD to, right?

This is the Monday Morning Dress!

I've seen so much speculation about why this might be called the Monday Morning Dress... I'm going to guess that it's because it's so cute that it can make your Monday Morning feel brighter! 😉 Or maybe you'll love it so much that you're excited to get out of bed, even on a Monday, to put it on! Who knows?! But regardless of why it's named the Monday Morning Dress, it's a super quick sew, it's very cute on, and I think it's flattering too!



Let's Talk about the Pattern: 

As I mentioned, this pattern is very easy to sew, and surprisingly fast. It has a fitted bodice with some negative ease. There are bands to finish the neckline and armscyes. The skirt is gathered. I bet I made the whole dress in a little over an hour - WITH interruptions! 😉



I decided to sew this dress for my sister. I made myself something using this fabric last year, and I bought enough to make her something too, so I've just been saving it. This was the perfect reason to sew it up for her! 

Doesn't she look great in it?!?! 



The Fabric:

I bought the fabric A WHILE ago from Surge Fabric Shop! It's a really nice Double Brushed Poly. This print is so pretty and cheerful! 💓

The Summer Dress Event and COUPON:

As I mentioned, I sewed this up for the Summer Dress Event! During this event (7-21-19 through 7-31-19) the code SUMMERDRESS will take an additional 25% off your entire purchase of DRESSES at Ellie and Mac's website!

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...

I get so excited about new patterns. 😊 One of my favorite designers is releasing TWO new patterns together this month, and I'm thrilled to share about them! **Disclosure: I have included my affiliate links to the patterns used for this post.

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...
