More Matching in Our ALD

When I saw this fabric, I kind of think I fell in love. Y'all, it's just so pretty!

I love the pretty, vibrant colors. I love the floral design. And it's pretty different from most of my wardrobe. My closet that used to be filled with black and blues is looking more pink and mauve these days. Thanks friends at Amelia Lane Designs.

So, I was excited for something new and different. I had one yard for promotion and sharing, and ordered a second yard to make my beautiful Adrian Dress. (Adrian is the fabric's name 😉)

When it came in, it was SO pretty. I was trying to decide what dress to make, but then it hit me... I didn't need a new dress. Leah and I needed matching tops!

We enjoy our matching clothes. It's fun to go out dressed alike!

So... these are our brand new Wardrobe by Me Wardrobe Builder Tees:

I blogged on this pattern before here. I love this pattern. I already had two tops made from this - my Sweater Knit Boatneck and my Sweater Knit Scoop Neck, so I was excited for a third.

My previous wardrobe builder tees from testing

I couldn't decide whether to use one of the necklines I've used before or try something new. This pattern has five neckline options! It's amazing.

I ended up asking my sister. She liked both of the necklines I've used previously and the o-neckline. I decided that since we both need a broad shoulder adjustment, that I'd just use my previous pattern pieces since it was already done. Lazy sewist? 😉

I love the boatneck-line but haven't made many in the past because of my broad shoulders - stuff fits weird sometime. But after testing this pattern, I'm glad to now have my go-to boatneck pattern, and I don't know if I'll ever get enough! 💓

I love the hemline too! It has a curved hem, and is so pretty!

So these are our NEW Boatneck Tees in my favorite ALD print. Seriously... this might be my favorite fabric print ever!

The Fabric:

The fabric is a super soft double brushed poly fabric available now at Amelia Lane Designs. It's really, really beautiful y'all. I don't know if you've picked up on it, but I kind of like the print. 😉 But in all seriousness, in the ALD promo team, some of the people who don't generally choose florals are loving this print too, so it must be nice, right?

It's on sale this week, along with the rest of the new arrivals. So, head over to their site and check them out! 😊

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. If you choose to make a purchase from my link, I will receive a small commision of the sale at no additional charge to you.** So here we are... the push I finally needed to spend a few minutes sewing (minutes is right... it's a fast sew). Look at my new skir...

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 ...

Fun, Fast, and Free - Fresh Looks for Summer!

When I first saw the information about the "Boys in Summer" Blog Tour hosted by Made for Little Gents , I knew I wanted to participate! My boys are the reason I started sewing! I HAD to participate. But, what would I sew? I contemplated what I might make for a couple of weeks, and then it hit me... it would be super fun to highlight a couple of great freebies! EVERYONE loves free stuff. Free patterns are a great way to try a new designer out before making a purchase, they're perfect for adding some variety to your pattern stash without spending money, and they're just super fun... because more patterns = more stuff you get to make. 😁 So the freebies I'm going to talk to you about today are from Peek-a-boo Pattern Shop . I love Peek-a-boo patterns. I've made a few of them for my boys and have tested a few as well. I feel like the instructions are mostly geared towards beginners, so any skill level can be successful with her patterns. I've really en...
