Dark Cinnamon Dress

I don’t know if you guys follow my Instagram. If you do you would have seen this cute fall inspired dress that I made 😉. Life happened and I didn’t get to post about here. Now that I’m feeling better let tell you about my dress.

I used Knitpop’s gorgeous Dark Cinnamon Rib knit. It’s true to its name. Absolutely perfect for this season. I believe anyone could wear this color and look fabulous.

I knew I wanted a cold shoulder top. So I decided to use George + Ginger’s Anniversary top but modified. I added a mock turtleneck and a band at the bottom. The outcome was amazing. I love that I can wear this as a dress or top. I’ll make a post later on how I can wear this as top. Don’t you love pieces that you can style in more than one way for a different look each time?

I hope you enjoyed this quick post. Much love and many blessings.

Leopard Print Palazzo Pants

So I’ve been wanting to make a new pair of palazzo pants, and I wanted to make pair from Pattern for Pirates. I had everything but the fabric for them, but I just wasn’t inspired by anything on hand.

When I saw that Knitpop had restocked their Brown leopard print double brushed polyester, I was inspired. Double brushed polyester is perfect palazzo pants. It has the right amount of stretch and the drape is just right. Plus with it being double brushed means it’s going to be super soft against my skin. The leopard print provided it with a wow yet classy look.

The Palazzo pants pattern does not come with pockets, so I added the pockets from Pattern for Pirates Mama Bear joggers. This very easy to do. You just follow the pocket instruction from the Mama Bear joggers but using the Palazzo pants pattern. After that just follow the palazzo pants instructions.

These pants are super comfortable. It’s like wearing very chic looking pajama bottoms. I decided to pair my favorite Hepburn tank with these pants. I also wore my gold lip earrings. I felt so confident in this outfit. My husband loves it on me as well. I hope you guys find something that inspires you today. Much love and many blessings.

Nevaeh

Made for Mermaids just released a new pattern and it’s awesome. The Nevaeh pattern allows you to choose to make either a dress, shorts, Capri or pants romper. It also includes different sleeve lengths and also a cute ruffle detail on two options. They give you different necklines to choose as well. The back gives you this cute little keyhole and tie, so you can get in and out of your romper with ease. The elastic waist is nice and really helps pull this outfit together.

I choose to make the shorts version with short sleeves and a low neckline. For my fabric I choose this cute 2 way stretch mystery fabric from Walmart. This romper is so cute for everyday wear. It’s so comfortable, especially when chasing after my kids. I regret I didn’t add pockets though. Next time, I will definitely remember to do so.

You may have heard that Made for Mermaids have expanded their sizing to be more inclusive of other sizes. Which is so cool. This is their first pattern that has the new sizes. Now you get to see even more gorgeous makes of other sewists. Check out Nevaeh today! The introductory price won’t last long. Please post your makes in the Made for Mermaids Facebook group or tag them on Instagram. I would to see what you come up with.

Hepburn

I’ve been looking for cute mock turtleneck pattern for a while now. I could only find paper patterns for it or kids’ pdf pattern. I tried the biggest size of a kids pdf pattern and it didn’t turn out as I had hoped. So when Pattern for Pirates put out a testing call for a turtle neck pattern, I jumped right in. I mean I’ve been wanting that white turtle neck dress from Basic Instinct for the longest time.

This pattern comes in a top, knee length, and midi length dress. Also is has different sleeve lengths or you can choose to go sleeveless. The neckline has options as well. You can choose between a crew neck, mock turtle neck and an actual turtleneck.

I have made them all, lol. This is one of my favorite patterns. The fit is fitted and I love the split hem detail. This pattern provides you with sexy yet classy silhouette. My favorite options are the sleeveless, mock turtle neck dress. I usually don’t like anything that shows off my bare arms but this dress gave me the confidence to do so. I even hack it to make a backless pants romper.

If you haven’t check out this pattern, please do. It is worth it. This pattern can provide you with that one item that gives you a confidence boost on blue day. Until next time. Much love and many blessings.
