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...

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...

New Athletic Set - ALD fabrics

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! And, the best part is, every time I make something new from athletics, I get motivated to move and exercise! **Disclosure: I have included affiliate links 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.** This Set: For the top, I used a fabric called " Sportivo ." 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...
