A Perfect Pair - My Mama's Newest Sinclair Ivy

When this fabric came, I was planning to sew it for my mama. I've made her a few tops in the past couple of months and planned to use one of the same patterns - either the Love Notions Laundry Day Tee or the Wardrobe by Me Sneha Tunic. I didn't order any coordinates to go with it, so I planned to make the whole top from the same fabric.

I was getting ready to cut it out last weekend, but I needed to clean up some of my mess first from my last couple of sewing projects. So I started folding scraps, and put them to the side... right beside my folded new fabric for the top. I kind of fell in love with the two fabrics together. So here is my accidental coordinate: The NEW "ELLIS" Rayon Spandex from Amelia Lane Designs and their Denim Pointelle. Aren't they just beautiful together?

So I KNEW I had to use them together. My mind immediately went to the Sinclair Ivy. It is perfect for using two fabrics, I already had had her size printed because I've made her a couple of these before, I already knew the pattern fit her really well and that I love it on her, so I just changed my plans, and went with it! 😊

I got it ready for her to pick up. My sister took her pictures. When she sent them to me, I got super excited, because I thought they turned out so good! I knew I loved the fabrics together, and the pictures show the colors off so nicely! 💓

The Pattern:

I've used this pattern in the past for myself and for my mama. I love the fit on both of us! It is fitted through the shoulders, and then the fit starts to relax at and below the bust. It has a beautiful, wide pleat in the center back, and the back has a curved hem.

It is a very easy sew, and goes together surprisingly quickly. Yeah, it takes a tiny bit longer than a regular tee, but I think it's so worth it. I love the details on this one!

With the design of this pattern, it's perfect for color-blocking with all your gorgeous coordinates. A small scrap is perfect for using for the top yoke and sleeve pieces. I had a tiny scrap left of this pointelle fabric after making tanks for my sister and me, so this piece is perfect for using as a scrap buster!

The Fabric:

As I mentioned, the main fabric for this top is called "Ellis" at Amelia Lane Designs. The coordinate I used for the top/ yoke piece is Denim Pointelle.

The main fabric is a rayon spandex fabric. I really love this rayon spandex. In the past, most rayon spandex that I have worked with was very stretchy, both horizontally and vertically. This one doesn't really have vertical stretch. I loved sewing this - it was very easy to work with.

I think it turned out so beautifully!

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
