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!

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.

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...

 Every month, Amelia Lane Designs is featuring a new fabric of the month. The featured fabric type is discounted throughout the entire month! It's so nice if your favorite fabric type is featured or one that you've just been wanting to try.  This month, the featured fabric is Athletics! I LOVE the athletics from ALD!

This is a nylon/ spandex blend. It can be used for athletic tops, sports bras, and even swimwear. I LOVE this fabric !  For this top, I used the Marin from Sew A Little Seam . This is a swim pattern. I planned to sew a crop top version with this for an exercise tank, but when I finished, I deci...
