Sometimes you find a pattern that you'll pull out again and again. That is the case with this pattern. I love wearing dresses. I feel so pretty and feminine. Putting on a dress can put me in a better mood sometimes. So I was more than excited to test the expansion of the Asta Dress. **Disclosure: I have included my affiliate link to the pattern I used for this post.

Once I made the sleeveless version and another time, I made a sleeved version. I've worn both of them several times.  So I already knew I liked the pattern, and was thrilled to try some of the new options!  Here is my new Wardrobe by Me Asta Dress . The pattern: The pattern is drafted for knit fabrics. It makes a beautiful dress with a few options you can choose from. You can make your dress sleeveless, or chose rom...

So for this set, I tried ANOTHER new to me pattern! More new athletic fabric from Amelia Lane Designs plus another awesome pattern = another great athletic set! So... let's talk about this one! 😉 **Disclosure: I have included my affiliate links to some of the patterns used in this post.

Then when you got ready to actually try it, it was different from everything you'd ever used, so you got a bit intimidated. And it took awhile for you to to find the courage? No? Well... that was totally me with this pattern . This pattern really was awesome, but wow, was it different from anything else! That can be a good thing, right? This pattern designer really thinks outside the box, so to speak, and came up with something really great, but really diff...

I made a jacket, y'all! I think this might be the most complex pattern I've made before. I've really been pushing myself lately to stretch my skill set... and doing that has required that I sew woven fabrics a bit more. You know, I love knits because they're quick and easy to sew. Wovens require me to go more slowly, pin more, be more precise, and sometimes use closures (buttons, zippers, etc). **Disclosure: I have included my affiliate link to the patterns mentioned in this post.

I really love it! Information About the Pattern : The pattern has recently been updated to include sizes 0-24. It has a sporty look, but with the right combination of fabrics, it is also a very classic design. The jacket has a facing and a lining. The jacket is made for woven fabrics, alth...

I'm so excited to share my newest Winter Wear Designs make! I always enjoy making Suzanne's patterns. They are really classic styles, they're easy to put together, and her instructions are great. I find myself using many of them multiple times... like the top I'm sharing today! 😉 This sew was a part of the "Summer Staples" Blog Tour! I'll tell you all about the new top I made and what I'm paring it with!  **Disclosure: This post contains my affiliate link to the patterns used. If you choose to purchase, I'll receive a small commission of the sale at no additional cost to you** This is my newest TIDEWATER TEE !  The name of the blog tour this time was "Summer Staples." This pattern immediately came to my mind when I saw the word "Staple." This pattern is just that for me -- a staple! I've used it a few times to get different looks, and I've loved it every single time. I made my first one last summer for...

"Take that dress off mommy... that's a princess dress, and you are NOT a princess," my four year old told me when I tried the dress on for the first time. According to him, I am JUST a mommy. I'll take it though - I like being his mommy, although, I WILL wear my new dress! "Princess Dress" is absolutely not what came to my mind when I saw this pattern... when I think "Princess Dress," frills, ruffles, and lace comes to my mind, and those things just don't really suit me, but this one does. Let's talk about this pattern! 😉 **Disclosure: This post contains affiliate links to the patterns used.

I chose to make the Satara Shirt Dress for the first time for this tour. I love a lot of things about this p...

Who loves wearing comfortable clothes? EVERYONE, right? I love dressing comfortably, but I've never been a fan of wearing tees and yoga pants everywhere... I just like to look a little more "put-together." So, when I made my first Mamma Can Do It Adalynn Dress , it was LOVE. This dress is so comfortable to wear, you'll feel like you're wearing a nightgown. In fact, I asked my mama a few times, "I don't look like I'm wearing a nightgown, do I?" I didn't want to go out looking like I was dressed for bed. HA! But I was assured that I did not look like I was wearing a gown, and I received quite a few compliments on my first Adalynn, so I decided to make more! Comfortable for All Seasons You can really dress for ANY season with this pattern. It has long, 3/4 sleeve, and short sleeve options, and if you're handy with pattern-hacking, there are plenty of other opportunities if you use this as a base pattern. 😉 I made my first Ada...
