I am pretty sure that this dress has gotten more compliments from strangers in one afternoon of wear than anything else I have ever made! I’m so surprised! Not that it isn’t beautiful, it’s just an unexpected make from my norm. The bold, pretty fabric is from @wearethefabricstore (gifted as an ambassador) which I chose because of the stunning chartreuse and dark green color combo, but I was stumped as to what to make with it. Then I remembered this cool tik tok video I’d seen a while back where a sewist named @g00dbad_ a low-to-zero waste dress out of a bedsheet and she very generously shared the template so that others could recreate it. It’s not a pattern exactly, but based on just a couple of your own measurements, it’s easily translated into a great wrap dress (very similar to vintage walk away dress patterns) that is very size/gender/age inclusive. I didn’t have a bed sheet to work with but I did have this fabric which I was still able to finagle the dress out of with a little problem solving. The result is so dynamic, with a vintage fit and flare silhouette paired with an impactful print. I didn’t change much to the basic instructions Cara gave but I did add interfacings and facings to my waistband, a buttonhole to one side of my dress opening for the belt to slide through, and I faced my belt with a complimentary fabric because I ran out of my main fabric. It adds some cool interest to the tie, which I love! This dress is easy to wear, doesn’t blow open and expose my bits on a windy day, and makes me feel so pretty! Check out _cccara on tik tok to watch her video if you want to make one for yourself! PS- yes my hair is shorter, no I didn’t want it this short and yes I hate it 🥴

The gorgeous marbled #SmultronDress by @paradisepatterns that I made at the beginning of the year unfortunately suffered a mishap in the wash and got dyed green in some spots 😖 (pls, no advice on how to get stains out, thx). I’m sure I will wear it as a house dress once the sadness dissipates a little lol. But til then, I wanted to make another version that I could enjoy, untarnished. Since my first version was made with @corefabrics it seemed only fitting that my replacement version feature their fabric too. This viscose with zigzag print is just *chefs kiss*. Perfectly situated in my seasonal palette, it’s soft, it’s flowy (tried to capture it’s movement with the camera) and feels like a breezy silk. In a cruel twist of fate, I didn’t have enough fabric to make the extended length of the dress I wanted to, but instead of abandoning my plan I just amended it. I had a long cut of this off white dupioni silk in my stash and decided to sub it in for the back panel I was missing from my main fabric. It was risky mostly because the white silk is not quite as flowy as the viscose, but I was confident that it could be a design feature- a dress not only print and color blocked, but structure blocked too. It came out better than I thought it would- the change in fabric doesn’t bother me at all, and it’s still a really swishy, sexy dress to wear- it feels like it’s dancing around your body! I can’t wait to wear it at an event with my black high heel clogs! Big fan of this and the others from @paradisepatterns and of course always loving the work that the @closetcorepatterns /@corefabrics team does, too 💕 summer hat by @byvladainsta 😍

Savage calls this dress 🎶GinghnamStyle🎶 and I am calling it 🥒 The Pickle Dress🥒- both are pretty accurate! I was inspired by a checked Mara Hoffman wrap dress that floated across my Pinterest once and couldn’t get out of my head. I planned on hacking several different patterns together to make it but luckily a fellow instagrammer reached out to show me McCalls 8035 which would be a way closer twin to the Mara Hoffman garment with only a few tweaks. I ended up using the bodice sleeves of the Elodie dress by @closetcorepatterns instead of the set in sleeves of the McCalls because I ❤️adore❤️ that subtle little shoulder peeking out and I knew I could achieve this best with a grown on sleeve. I also adjusted the back bodice piece to have a V-neck line at the back to give the sleeve more space to dip off the shoulder. I changed the waistline of the bodice and skirt to accommodate a wider piece of elastic like the inspo dress (I used 1.5” wide elastic), zigzagged across the elasticized waistband to make it more stable, added some elastic to the sleeve hems and finally I stuck a bra strap holder to the shoulder seam so that when I wore it off my shoulder my bra strap wouldn’t try and creep into frame. My sleeves have slightly more drama and the skirt is a touch more billowy than the inspo but all in all I think I nailed this hack. It includes all the markers of what I initially loved about the inspo dress- a fun graphic print ✅ in a color I love ✅ in linen, a fabric I love (this gingham is gifted from @wearethefabricstore and is very excellent) ✅, with a romantic, flowy silhouette ✅ that looks great with this hair length lol ✅ I tried to recreate the inspo photo in front of our white garage door but it was so bright outside that the pics came out grainy- hopefully the vibes still translate 💚

I’m so behind on posting makes these days but I’ve worked on some really special pieces that I have been wearing a lot, like this sundress (#grasser211) from @grasserpatterns . It’s sewn up in this leopard viscose crepe from @wearethefabricstore (gifted as a 🌟brand ambassador🌟) and also comes in a blue colorway. It’s got a great hand, is very flowy, and worked surprisingly well this pattern. This was my first grasser pattern which I only tried out because they got a glowing review from @charliewensley . I would definitely consider this a few steps above a burda pattern- the drafting was pretty good (although I did make come changes to this garment) and the instructions actually tell you on how to make it, with illustrations, too (I know- shocker!) To be honest I barely referenced the instructions because this wasn’t a complicated design, but I still prefer having decent instructions with my pattern purchases 🤷🏽♀️. The alterations I made were to chop nearly 3 inches (!) off the length of the bodice to put the waistline where I like it (a couple inches above my navel) and I also had to take several inches out of the waist circumference. These patterns are very affordable but I don’t love that they only come in one size- for someone like me who usually has to grade b/t a few sizes to accommodate my waist and hips in fitted garments, this is a no go for certain designs but it was fine for this dress. They do however come in multi heights, which seems pretty great but like I said, I still had to chop a lot of length off this so it didn’t seem particularly matched to my stature. Nevertheless they have some really cool designs and I will absolutely be making more of their patterns that won’t require too much grading for me. I love how this summer dress feels so sophisticated in this print- big fan, and with the right jacket, it will transition into fall pretty easily too 💕💕

#memademay2022 day 6 is a beloved #kalleshirtdress in striped linen in which i had some pattern play that you can’t fully see in the first pic so I took another shot of me frontside 😂 I am wearing my favorite summer hat by 🎩 maker extraordinaire @byvladainsta and some non memade rose gold Birkenstocks that I bought years ago for a callback to play a therapist lol (didn’t get the part but the birks were worth it). Also this is one of @savageblackout ‘s favorite plants in our neighborhood- the fried egg bush! Should have gotten a close up cause it really does look like that, it’s adorable!

I’m so sorry for not tagging all the gorgeous makers in the fashion show, I just don’t know everyone’s handle (or name!) but feel free to leave a comment or tag your friends so other sewists can follow them! I had such a fantastic time today meeting old and new friends irl! Thank you @losangelesfrocktails for hosting the first ever Frocktails event here, thanks to all the amazing sponsors, and to @lafinchfabrics_new who made sure everyone walked out the door with a couple yards of beautiful printed rayon! Hope we get to do it again next year ❤️❤️❤️!
#CassPants by @makebytfs in lemon slubby cotton plaid (gifted from @wearethefabricstore )! I’m a big fan of this pattern, it’s just got some really cool details that I see more often in tailored clothing and less often in sewing patterns. High waisted, welt pockets, super comfy to wear and very extensive size range (they will draft a pattern for you for free if you fall outside their size chart). This cotton was really fun to work with- it’s very reminiscent of a linen- and even though I didn’t have the energy to pattern match this graphic print, I still think they came out terrific. The plaid gives it a real Clueless vibe and I cannot wait for the weather to cool down so I can pair them with docs! I’m wearing them here with a beloved hand me down from Savage, a memade belt, and some yellow Birkenstocks which I have been wearing every day for the past couple weeks! I may not be able to eat citric acid anymore but I can still wear lemon yellow, damnit 🍋

Great rope bag tutorial from @closetcorepatterns ! Super simple, customizable, and I was able to make mine in an unhurried, gentle afternoon ❤️❤️❤️ thanks, @amyvicknerd (this was you, right? 😂)
Pal sent me the full video of him playing 😭 For full reference, my brother taught himself how to play guitar after obsessively playing rock band for years 😂 happy birthday little brother, you can’t imagine how much I miss you ❤️❤️❤️ @elramonewilliams
