The Amelia Lane Designs Dream Tee

If you're like me, you enjoy trying something new. And it's not often that you get to sew a pattern and fabric from the SAME company! 😉

Amelia Lane Designs recently released their first pattern - the Dream Tee, and I had the opportunity to sew it in new ALD fabric - this beautiful Two-Tone Mustard. I really love the result!! 

As I mentioned, this is the first pattern released by Amelia Lane Designs. I'm amazed at how much they've grown in the almost- year that they've been in business. From supplying lots of beautiful fabrics to becoming quite the resource for information on patterns, hacks, adjustments, and more on their blog, to now releasing a pattern, WOW! 


This is called the Dream Tee. It was sparked by an idea that Mya has had in her head for a while, and she worked SO hard to pull this off! It is really a nice pattern for so many reasons! 

It is a dolman style top or dress. You have the option for adding in 3/4 or long sleeves. The sleeves can be attached like regular sleeves or as cuffs. There are two neckline options - the scoop neck or the plunge V-neck. It comes with an amazing tutorial with photos explaining every step. There are special tips for attaching the v-neck. I've heard fabulous things about Mya's method - I kind of want to try it despite my dislike of sewing v-necks. Everyone is having good results. 

With it being a dolman style sleeve, it's really pretty fast to sew. You need a knit fabric with a little stretch, and you'll have a new top or dress in no time! 

I would say it's definitely worth owning! You can sew up your ALD pretties in your new ALD pattern! 😉


For my dress, I used a new DBP (double brushed poly) fabric that Amelia Lane Designs just stocked - it's the two-tone mustard fabric. I've used several of the other two-tone fabrics, and I've really loved them all! 

This one is so soft, and such a pretty color. I'd probably say it's a bit more of a gold than a mustard but it's so gorgeous in person! You won't be sad if you order it! 😍 

While this is DBP, I feel like all of the two tone DBP I have sewn has slightly less stretch than other DBP. It's still plenty for most patterns, however! 🙂

For release weekend, it is discounted to $7.99. It's a great price for a beautiful fabric

I really love my new dress! I'm looking forward to trying out the top option!

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...

A Double Release from Pattern Emporium

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.

It also has a couple of lengths - for the hemband to sit on the waist or the hips.  Both versions can be made with several necklines- three different rounded necklines, a v neckline, or a squared neckline. They both have several options for sleeve lengths or two choices for sle...

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...
