I made my first Seamingly Smitten pattern and I’m smitten! This is the Joelene turtle neck dress. I love how simple this dress is! It’s a super quick sew and the turtle neck is so perfect for Fall. This version is french terry from Elevated Fashion Fabrics. Below is ponte from The Fab Clique Fabric
Fall is finally upon us. For me that means cowl necks and cardigans! 5oo4 just released a new cowl neck top. I knew I was going to love it because the 5oo4 Nancy Raglan cowl is one of my favorites too (blog post). This is the new Mabel pattern. I has an optional ruffle finish,

Let me get right to the point. This is the “To The Point” tunic/dress from Ellie and Mac. I’m a total cat lady so this fabric is perfect and I wanted to show it off as much as possible. The pointed hem lets me show off this purrrfectly centered kitty cat. The fabric is double
Happy Halloween! Or as I like to call it, Sewing Superbowl! This is the day to show off your skills! This year I am going as Ms. Frizzle from the classic 90’s PBS tv show, Magic School Bus! I found the fabric way back in July on a pre-order from Peek-a-boo Fabric Shop. It’s really
