Fringe Dress

I have had the Fringe Dress cut out since last September, and it has just been nagging at me for months to just finish sewing it all together! It did turn into winter after I got it all cut out, so I wouldn’t have been able to wear it very much anyways, but I’m so glad to have it finished … Continue reading “Fringe Dress”

Panama Tee Dress [long sleeve + side slits]

I’m just not going to quit you guys. There are just too many good variations of this dress and altering this pattern is just too easy. So I hope you are loving this almost as much as I am. 😉 The Panama Tee and I are like cookies and ice cream, burgers and fries, babies and puppies — you get me? … Continue reading “Panama Tee Dress [long sleeve + side slits]”

Panama Tee Dress [midi + side slits]

If I could only choose one pattern for the rest of my life/closet, I would choose this pattern, hands down. This is my 7th (but who’s counting? I’m going to loose track soon.) Panama Tee Dress by Alina Design Co, including the ones that I’ve made for the girls in my family (since we all struggle with finding clothes that … Continue reading “Panama Tee Dress [midi + side slits]”

Highlands Wrap Dress

This gorgeous dress is the Highlands Wrap Dress by Allie Olson! I was lucky to be one of the testers for the pattern back in March, but since I procrastinated and had to rush, I wasn’t able to make the height adjustments needed. This time, I was in no rush and had time to make the adjustments for my height. … Continue reading “Highlands Wrap Dress”

Nursing Friendly Ebony Tee Dress + Ring Sling

This pretty lady is my sister, Nicole. Her sweet new baby is Tychus, and I was so lucky to be able to go and see them two weeks after she had him. I had so much fun taking these photos of her and a few more of her cute little family + newborn pictures of Ty. Isn’t that baby-head-of-hair amazing?? … Continue reading “Nursing Friendly Ebony Tee Dress + Ring Sling”

Lodo Dress

Did everyone just buy the Lodo Dress by True Bias as soon as it was released?? I totally did, and I was so excited when I saw a few people use this same fabric, just in different colorways. I was pretty set on making this fabric into something else, but it was perfect for the Lodo and I’m SO glad … Continue reading “Lodo Dress”

Ebony Tee with Invisible Zippers [Nursing Friendly]

I’ve been wanting to make the Ebony Tee Dress by Closet Case Patterns for a while now. It’s a simple swing dress pattern and I know it’s super easy to make any t-shirt or dress a swing dress, but I always feel more comfortable using a pattern for some reason. I love that the Ebony Tee has the two neckline … Continue reading “Ebony Tee with Invisible Zippers [Nursing Friendly]”

Panama Tee Dress [View C, Short Sleeve]

Okay. My love for this pattern is no joke, and it doesn’t end here. This is view C of the Panama Tee Dress by Alina Design Co. View C is the maxi length, and it flares out a little bit so that even though it’s long, it’s still easy to walk in. I think next time I make the dress this … Continue reading “Panama Tee Dress [View C, Short Sleeve]”

Panama Tee Dress [Half sleeve, view B]

I am dubbing this my favorite pattern of all time. (Sorry to the rest of the pattern world.) I know I’m not the only one that drools over Sonnet James dresses (linking in case you have no idea what I’m talking about) every time Whitney releases a new collection. The dresses she designs are so simple, comfortable, and the majority of them are … Continue reading “Panama Tee Dress [Half sleeve, view B]”

Wren Dress

It’s no surprise that I LOVE this dress. This the Wren from Colette Patterns. I bought the fabric last summer from a shop in the LA Fashion District. I was so excited to finally use it, and it was perfect for this dress! I know wrap dresses are sort of “trending” right now, but I have always loved wrap dresses, … Continue reading “Wren Dress”
