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.

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. If you choose to purchase a pattern using my link, I'll receive a small commission of the sale at no additional cost to you.** The first new release- the BESTIES TEE This tee is so fun, with quite a few options! You can choose whether you like the flared tee or the banded tee. The flared tee features a slightly flared silhouette with three length options (cropped, regular, or long). The banded option also has a slightly flared silhouette gathered into a waistband. 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...
