Fashionista Dreams

A few weeks ago I was selected to test the newly released Collins Top and Dress . I was super excited to be picked to test it and it came out perfect! My vision for this top was picnic ready and I think I achieved that.    This one has a denim top and classic gingham skirt. I really wanted a picnic feel, and nothing say that more than red gingham to me.  It is a super comfortable top and dress. Goes from sizes 3 months to 16! I know I am going to have to make my sister one too. If you are interested in ordering one please message me and I will get you taken care of.

This polo was one of the first styles I made. It has quickly become my go to shirts for my brother because its such a great pattern, can add a hood, not have a collar, pockets, the options for making him limitless styles.  This particular one I adapted the placket for the buttons to be shorter because of the panel.  The fit is relaxed, its not a super fitted polo, and I always have to add some length to his shirts because he's so tall and thin. One of the best things about making clothing for people is making it that perfect custom fit that as soon as they put it on they have to smile cause they know its on point.  Candy Castle Patterns  is one of my favorite pattern companies, I have almost all of her patterns because they are so easy to follow, her group is super supportive if you have questions, and when you read them you feel like you are sitting there with a sewing buddy, which who wouldn't love that?

Not everyone understands what being a Military kid is like. It is amazing and sad at the same time. I have lived in several states, been on more flights than I can count and gotten to see places people dream of vacationing. I have also had to say good bye to so many people, but  the adventure never ends.  All of this is why the round that Mandi over at  Fabriculous  made a reality is so important to me. I came to her with an idea for a small off shoot, a panel and something to go with it and she made it into a 3 color way, 2 panel option, blanket topper, mind blowing round! It is something featured on her business page, something I am seeing people rallying around and finding as beautiful as I do. Its truly a humbling and incredible feeling.  Not everyone understood the main color choices, which were requested by me, and she did add another color way for those not feeling the purple but I wanted to take a quick moment and explain why purple...

This dress... what else is there to saw other than jawbreaker!  The  Jawbreaker  Pattern from George + Ginger has several options, shown here is the sleeveless fitted shirt. Which is super flattering and really showed off the Harry Potter fabric I got from  KNITorious  for my birthday this past year. I have been hoarding it waiting for the perfect pattern.  The pattern includes long, 3/4, short and sleeveless, along with the fitted skirt you can go with peplum, mini, and dress length. Making this a staple pattern.  EMAIL       WEBSITE      FACEBOOK      INSTAGRAM

George + Ginger made this amazing  Swagger  Pattern. Originally she made it in children sizing as well, the sort away from kids patterns and sold it to Gooberpea which is where you can get the mini pattern now.  This design is so different, while it has a bit of a basic look to the top, the flouncy back pieces that wrap around the front really set it apart from the rest.  The mini version is just as adorable as the adult. Both versions offer short, 3/4, long and sleeveless options. The children version also offers a hooded option as well.  This particular one for my sister I also added a kangaroo pocket, because pockets are life and she loves when her hands can touch, as you can see here when she realized it had one.  The childrens offers the same great wrap around flouncy the adult does. Which really depending on fabric can add an extra level of fancy to the top. this fabric is from the Hero's round over at fabriculous...

This is the Kiwi Kimono! It is a fantastic light weight option for summer, perfect for a swim cover up, something to toss on for a chill in the summer air, or those incredible cold restaurants.  Candy Castle Patterns is updating a lot of their patterns with some more interactive links in the instructions and for this design she added the band, which I used to add a pop of contrasting color! I already love their patterns because they are so great at explaining everything and so much personality comes through in them, I always feel like I am sewing and chatting with Rebecca the designer when I sew them up.  This comes in both  Girls Pattern  and women's  Ladies Pattern These are great shots to show off the new added band, again used here to offer a pop of color and drama to the kimono  As always if you are interested in this for kids or women sizing feel free to shoot me a message and i will work with you on making on...

I was selected to test this latests patterns from MODkids. They offer lots of teen styles, which I love, this is an age where you may not really be into some of the adult women styles, but are for sure to old for the little kids styles. They are amazing at bridging that gap. This new top and dress pattern is so unique. Lots of personality and little touches that set it apart from the rest. You can add ruffles as well. It is available in children sizes as well as tween sizes.   Close up of the front and back details, this one does not have the ruffles, but you can see where they would be in the detailed shots. The dress is an extra layer, making it a maxi style.  If you are interesting in ordering something along this style please message me and I will work with you on creating one special for you.
