The second I saw this fabric , I loved it. I knew IMMEDIATELY what I wanted to make with it... It looked like my mama to me, and I've been wanting to try out the Sinclair Ivy for her, but I loved it so much that I wanted something too, so I ordered 4 yards and got busy thinking. **Disclosure: I have included my affiliate links to the patterns used in this post.

I planned to use about a yard for her top, so I'd have about 3 yards to split between my sister and me. I remembered that the Love Notions Summer Basics Tank Dress in knee length only used about 1.5 yards for my size, so my decision was made! I made two Summer Basics Dresses (one for my sister and the other for me). And here is my mama's Sinclair Ivy ! The Summer Basics Dress: This pattern is a knit pattern for a tank top or dress. There are a few leng...

The La Bella Donna top was on a Featured Friday sale a few weeks back. It's REALLY hard to pass up a Featured Friday at Love Notions... a regularly priced $10 pattern on sale for $5... and they're really nice patterns too! **Disclosure: I have included my affiliate links to these patterns throughout this post. If you choose to purchase using my link, I will receive a small commission of the sale.** I tried a Love Notions Pattern for the first time this year, and was so impressed. I finally knew why everyone seems to love them so much! Information about the Pattern : You have quite a few options for sewing this pattern! It can be made in a tunic length or a dress length. There is a curved hem or hem band. The neckline can be turned in and hemmed, made with an included hood, or have a cowl neckline. For the dress length, there are even optional pockets. It really does have lots of options. You can make it differently many times! The pattern is drafted...

I made this shirt for my nephew a little while ago, but we just got around to getting pictures. I love seeing him wear it! In fact, I love seeing him wear anything I have spent time making. He really likes it, which makes me so happy. He loves getting handmade things. He lets you know that he loves them and appreciates them, because he wears them a lot! **Disclosure: This post contains affiliate links to the patterns used.

My sister bought this red and white striped cotton lycra for me to use to make something for him back in the fall, and then she became worried that he would look like Waldo of "Where's Waldo." 🤣 So I put off sewing the fabric, because I didn't want to make a Waldo shirt. But finally, I found the co...

I love wrap dresses. I love them all. They all have something different to offer. Every pattern you'll find for a wrap dress (or faux wrap dress) is slightly different. Enabler alert: There is a reason to have multiple wrap dress patterns. I think. 😉 **Disclosure: I have included affiliate links in this post. If you purchase a product from my link, I will receive a small commision from the sale at no additional cost to you.** So, a few weeks back, when Love Notions announced that their Feature Friday Sale was the Willow Wrap Dress , and it was discounted to only $5, I obviously spent a little while deciding whether or not I NEED another wrap dress pattern, and, of course, eventually decided I did. I looked at the pattern, all of the options, thought about fabrics I might use, and got REALLY excited. Let me tell you about this pattern: I know, I know.... You already have 1 or 10 wrap dress patterns and you're like me, trying to decide why you might like this one too. W...
