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!

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. I love their patterns for a few reasons. I've posted before that I have kind of broad shoulders and on with some designers I have to adjust patterns to fit them. 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
