Prisma Dress by Love Notions
It has been a minute since I have been so excited about something I have made, so I wanted to document it! I received this imagining French Velvet from Mily Mae Fabrics, and I knew my 13 year-old daughter Braelyn would love to wear it! I have seen a few different drop-waisted dresses that I wanted to replicate. I feel like this is such a cute style for teens. Lucky for me I have a cute 13 year old that trusts my fashion sense 🙂 To make the drop-waisted dress, I started with the Prisma Dress by Love Notions (check the bottom of the post for a discount code). My…

Orono Top by Itch to Stitch
Another cozy, comfy top added to my wardrobe, which is perfect because it seems Arizona decided to participate in the winter season this year. I have been so cold, so I am very grateful for the new Fabric.com. You can even search by the stretch percentage on the left hand -side. I think that pretty much wraps it up. I would love to know what you think about the Orono Top. *This post does contain affiliate links.

Roho Blouse by Coffee and Thread
Hello!! If you follow me on Instagram, you probably have already heard me rave about the newest pdf pattern by Coffee and Thread, the Roho Blouse. Its no secret that I love a good sleeve, and this blouse definitely fits the bill. This blouse is a loose fitting raglan sleeve top with some amazing details. Lets first look at that sleeve. The pleated shoulder gives shape up top and then allows it to flare out. The bottom of the sleeve is gathered together with an elastic cuff. I used 3/4″ elastic for the cuff, but I think it would also be fun to experiment with skinnier elastic as well. The…

Envigado Vest by Itch to Stitch
Sometimes I sign up to test patterns because I simply love the design and it fills a hole in my wardrobe, and sometimes I sign up to test because I love a good challenge. In this case, it happens to be both of those reasons. I learned last year that I love wearing vests on chilly, Arizona days. For me, vests seem to supply just enough warmth, while also giving me extra pockets, which always seems necessary. So when Kennis (Itch to Stitch) asked for testers for her new Envigado Vest, I jumped on it! I even ordered fabric and supplies before the test began, which I never do. However,…

Resolution Bottoms by Love Notions
What a way to start off the New Year! Love Notions just released a brand new pattern, The Resolution Bottoms. This pattern is packed with options! The Resolution Bottoms pattern comes with 5 views: Joggers, Straight Leg Yoga Pants, Boot Cut Yoga Pants, Leggings and Moto Leggings. In addition, there are 2 waistband options: Yoga Style and the Contour Waistband with elastic. Plus, there is the option to add pockets! For this pattern test I made the Moto Leggings with a yoga style waistband, without pockets. This seems crazy to admit, but this is the very first pair of leggings that I have made for myself. I have been wanting…

The Uvita Add-On Pattern by Itch to Stitch
My first Pattern Test of 2019 is a good one!! The Uvita Add-On Pattern by Itch to Stitch. The Uvita Top by Itch to Stitch was released last year as a free pattern. It is such a great staple pattern. The original Uvita is a relaxed, knit top that has a drop shoulder and 2 sleeve options. I have seen a lot of pattern hacks done on the pattern this year, but I am excited to say that Kennis has done the work for you and released a new Add-on pattern! There are so many possibilities with this add-on pattern. I chose to make a my top with a hood,…
