Bless the LORD, O my soul, and all that is within me, bless his holy name. Psalms 103:1
Hey, friends! I've been wanting to do a recap of my roughly-defined "Spring" makes (February through May). Three of the pieces are pre-pandemic. (Never thought I'd have to say that!) The rest of them are sewing on steroids, or done in i-sew-lation. I've really enjoyed getting back into sewing for myself and I think I've found some pretty good patterns. Awhile ago, I did a sewing inspiration list. While some detours were taken along the way, I'm happy with everything that was accomplished.
May~Pink Linen Dress
This was surprise hit for me, in that I wasn't sure I would like the non-fitted style dress and I really do! I have worn it out briefly. It's Style Arc's Adeline dress pattern and comes in sizes 4-30.
This was a Sundance catalog knockoff. Ya know, I didn't love the outfit as photo'd, but have found a way I like better since. It will be included on the blog at some point. I wasn't too sure about the print of the fabric when I saw it in person (vs. online), but when I showed it to one of my dearest friends, she loved it. 🥰 It's been worn several times.
April~Lantern Pants
An Artful Home Pace Pant hack. These have not been worn out, yet.
March~Peplum Top
The print and style are really fun. It's been worn a few times and works well with my Tomgirl jeans and I'm looking forward to wearing it with white. Vogue Rachel Comey Pattern 1503.
May~Peasant Top
This top was immediate love, as the lightweight, 100% cotton fabric, print and pattern all came together so well. That, and it was the first time I made a tie and tassel and was so happy and impressed with how they came out. Blank Slate Valetta Top pattern. It's been worn a few times.
March~Flounced Midi Skirt
This was copied from another skirt I own. I think it was worn once before lockdown.
February~Fox Top
My very first make inspired by a Free People top. Made from pattern New Look 6533.
March~Red Linen Blend Jacket
May~Full Pants
These were another fun, surprise "hit" with me. I haven't worn them out in the real world yet, but can't wait to do so and hope I get lots of comments! If you missed the original post--the fabric is from a twin sheet.
While my "sew-jo" has definitely slowed down, there is a top and the skirt from Friday that are ready to go, plus a few other items in my sewing queue.
