Made by Laura!

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 he...

The second I saw this fabric , I loved it. I knew IMMEDIATELY what I wanted to make with it...

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...

I always have small random scraps left from projects... you know the ones... they're not really big enough for much, but they're way too big to throw out! So I save them, and save them, and wait for a good project to come along.  Are you like me? This new top is the PERFECT pattern for using some of your scrap pieces!  **Disclosure: I have included my affiliate link to the pattern I used in this post.

And not just a little excited. Like it was love at first line drawing! 😍 Have you ever had this reaction to a pattern? Then I sewed it, and I loved it even more!  Photo from the Sinclair Website Let me tell you about the Pattern ! This pattern is drafted for knit fabrics. It's fitted at the shoulders, semi-fitted at the bust, and flares out towards...
