Leopard Deanna

I don’t know how I have not made the Deanna dress from Made for Mermaids before. This is such a flattering dress and such a super quick sew.

I used the Fab Clique Fabric Shoppe Leopard French Terry, which was a dream to work with. The dress length with short sleeves was the perfect choice for this fabric.

This dress turned out to be so fierce. I can wear this on it’s on or with leggings or some super cute tights. I did get a little big headed while wearing this dress. Wouldn’t you though? I mean look at it. Any way, much love and many blessings.

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.

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.

Apricot Rulo dress

I wanted to pop on here really quick to show you my outfit of the day/ootd. I used the Fab Clique Shoppe’s Apricot French Terry, which by the way is amazing, to make a Rulo dress. The options I chose were the dress option with the bell sleeves. This turned out to be such a cute dress and it’s perfect for South Florida Fall weather. Talk to you guys later. Much love and many blessings.

Who’s ready for Fall?

Fall

So Fall has officially begun. In most states people are wearing their cute sweaters and tall boots. Down here in south Florida that’s not happening soon enough. The weather is still so hot. Like Olaf melting into a puddle hot. We have to dress in cute layers and booties. With that being said, I decided to make some cute hot weather fall clothes.

Patterns for Pirates So Classic dress makes the perfect Fall inspired dress. This pattern calls for woven fabric, I choose cotton, which is one the best fabrics for hot weather. Since it’s natural fiber it allows the fabric to breathe, that way keeping you cooler. I made the button up mini version, with cute wooden buttons. The fit was great and the length is perfect on it on or with some cute leggings or tights. I found my fabric on eBay and it has the perfect color palette for fall.

I also decided to make a matching cardigan. I choose Pattern for Pirates Cocoon Cardigan, with long sleeves and patched pockets. This piece is so so comfortable. The fabric is so soft and fuzzy. The cardigan is perfect to snuggle in. The pockets are the perfect size. I can fit all of my Knick knacks with my pockets looking overstuffed.

Both of these patterns worn together, look so good. If you need a fall inspired outfit to wear apple picking or to the pumpkin patch, look at these two patterns. If you have kids, they have a kids version as well. Perfect for matching outfits 😍.
