I'm International...Or My Creation Is

Hey Loves!

Here's one of my latest makes for my bestie. She went on a cruise and wanted a custom jumpsuit. She picked the pattern, M7598, and I selected this fabric because she loves blue.

M7598 • FabricMart

She loved it and got lots of compliments. What do you think?

Cruising the Caribbean in a Custom Jumpsuit by Me

Here's my review of the pattern:

Pattern Description: Very loose-fitting pullover dresses and step in jumpsuit have sleeve and length variations.
Pattern Sizing: 14-16-18-20-22
Did it look like the photo/drawing on the pattern envelope once you were done sewing with it? It was close to the image, but not exact.
Were the instructions easy to follow? The directions were very easy to follow.
What did you particularly like or dislike about the pattern? I love how quickly the jumpsuit came together. I don't like how low the sides are, but my friend loved it.
Fabric Used: Plum/Aqua/Violet/Black 100% Poly Abstract Floral Print Blouse Weight Woven Crepe 58W from FabricMart
Pattern alterations or any design changes you made: I omitted the trim and created straps using the material.
Would you sew it again? Would you recommend it to others? I plan to sew it again. I think this would make some great pajamas in jersey knit.
Conclusion: Great pattern that comes together quickly.

Until next time, Smooches!

NL 6519: I Knew It From the Start

Hey Loves! I'm back. It's been a minute! I've been busy! But, I took a quick break to make something for me. Top & Headband: By Me (New Look A6519; Cotton from Wal-Mart); Jeans: Target (Similar); Shoes: JustFab (Reeta) I saw the cutest yellow and black polka dot fabric in Wal-Mart on clearance (2 yards for $1.87). When I saw it, I immediately thought about New Look A6519. It's just one of those patterns I pick up often and put it back because the fabric isn't quite right. Well, this was the one. I got home and printed one of the croquis from Golden Rippy . I took a few minutes to sketch it out. I enjoyed it so much! After sketching, I knew jeans would be perfect. Each time I try a new pattern, I have to read the directions thoroughly...usually 2 or 3 times before I start. After reading the directions, I got to work. The directions were so straight to the point and easy to follow. I decided this pat...

Let's Mix It Up

Hey Loves! It's been a while! A long time! Life has been so busy. I always enjoy the challenge of making myself something a little different for an event. As I made plans to attend the UNCF Birmingham Mayor's Masked Ball, I decided I'd make my dress. It's a combination of a new pattern and a tried and true pattern. I think it turned out well. I visited JoAnna's for a little inspiration because I didn't have time to wait for items to ship and Simplicity patterns were $0.99. I saw Mimi G's Simplicity 9370. The cut out spoke to me. I decided that the right fabric could make it dressy enough for the event. I found this beautiful fabric in the athletic section in JoAnn. I walked past it 3 times and kept coming back, so I bought it. It was also 20% off. I made a muslin of S9370 and decided I didn't like the neckline for a formal. So, with very limited time (3 days before the event), I decided to try to incorporate the cut ...

2 Years Later Finishing a UFO

Hey Loves, How many of you have UFOs in your sewing space? Go ahead raise your hand! That project you started but just haven't finished is an unfinished object (UFO). I don't have many. Those that I have are set aside in zip lock bags. Last week, I took the plunge, opened one of those forgotten UFOs, & finished it. This one was pretty cool because I used two remnants from JoAnn. I had to challenge myself to get the right pattern placement to get the most out of each fabric. It was really easy to sew. The directions were so easy to follow. I like the outcome. The inside is really clean. My only issue was length. I'd make it longer next time. Here's my mannequin wearing view A of #S8335 without the sleeve ruffle well. I didn't get any pictures of it when I wore it to work. Here's a link to my pattern review for Simplicity 8335 . Wh...
