Hey Loves!
It's March! What happened to February?
You know what I love about March?! Spring is near. After fashion week is all said and done, I like to check out the trends. I tend to sew whatever I'm feeling but it's nice to know what the trends are for the season and try to add a little of that into my wardrobe.
I like the HarpersBazaar and WhoWhatWear trend reports. HapersBazaar is my favorite because they show you the runway style, some options to buy, and some street style. Here's my top 5 from the two reports.

- Hot Pants/Short Shorts
Both HarpersBazaar and WhoWhatWear had short shorts on their lists. Yes, I'm a little old for crop tops and short shorts. BUT, I'm not too old for short shorts and a cute duster or maxi shirt dress. Do you see the vision?
Pattern Suggestions:
Linen Loungers by Patterns for Pirates | M7961 by McCall's Patterns | K3614 by KwikSew - Bermuda Shorts
Both HarpersBazaar and WhoWhatWear had Bermuda shorts on the lists. I'm excited to see them added to the business casual list. I may try to slip those in my work wardrobe this year, if we ever get released back to business as usual. Thanks COVID-19!
Pattern Suggestions:
V1662 by Vogue Patterns | B6669 by Butterick | B6283 by Burda Style - Bra Top
This one is in both reports as well. I wouldn't go so far as to wear a triangle bra top but some of the cute lingerie-inspired crop tops would be cute. I don't have a flat stomach anymore but I can surely pair it with something with a high waist. That sounds date night or girls night ready.
Pattern Suggestions:
THE APRICOT ENSEMBLE by MoodSewciety | S8549 by Simplicity Patterns | S1426 by Simplicity Patterns - Prints
It didn't take much to sell me on this one! I LOVE cute prints. Both reports referred to 60s inspired prints but I'm just in love with prints. Who else is excited about prints?
Fabric Suggestions:
Folk Floral Double Brushed Jersey Knit by FabricMart Fabrics | Floral Poplin Shirting by FabricMart Fabrics | Floral Stretch Jacquard by Mood Fabrics - Scarf Top/Dress
This really isn't a new trend but I'm glad to see it on the list. The style is comfy, classic, and sexy. I'm all for that. Fabric Suggestions: S8909 by Simplicity Patterns | 6655 by Burda Style | M7405 by McCall's Patterns
Here are a few ideas from these trends.
Do you have a favorite trend from Spring 2020? If so, do you have plans to sew anything inspired by it?
Until next time, Smooches!
