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.

Free and Easy... Sewing the Agnes by Halla!

I love trying new things when it comes to sewing. I love learning new techniques, how to do things different ways, and figuring things out. For the most part, I also enjoy trying new-to-me pattern designers. This was my first ever pattern by Halla  - the AGNES . Yep, I downloaded it a long time ago when it released, but this was my first time ever making it! I downloaded it with intentions of trying it because it was so popular. It may have been popular because it's a FREE pattern (you can get the code to download it in the Halla Facebook Group ), or it may have been really popular because it's FREE and REALLY AWESOME. This blog tour gave me a chance to find out for myself! I participated in this blog tour put together by Kate of  Sewing from Scratch ... the idea is that we would all sew the same pattern, but make it our own. If we love it as is, we sew it as is. If we want a cute bow (Gwen😉), we add a cute bow, if we want to make all the adjustments to get our perfect ...
