The Lena Woven Dolman Style Dress with Ties By Sinclair Patterns

Meet the new Lena woven dolman style dress with ties from Sinclair patterns. Lena is relaxed through the shoulders, bust and waist with princess seams going from the shoulders to the waistline. It also comes with cup sizes to get the perfect fit. You have a rounded neckline that's finished with binding.


I love the ties as you can make the dress more fitted if you would like plus you can tie then a few different ways. Lena also comes with pockets and has 3 different lengths above the knee, knee and mid-calf. The Seams can be finished with French seams or regular seams with overcasting.


I made the above knee length in this beautiful rayon fabric from ABC Fabric, it sewed up really nicely and perfect for the warmer weather.

The Natalie Knotted Tank By Ellie & Mac

With the warmer weather finally here, I thought it was the perfect time to share my latest make, the Natalie Knotted Tank Top. I made mine in this gorgeous ITY fabric from ABC Fabric, and I couldn't be happier with how it turned out. The lightweight drape and soft feel of ITY make it an ideal choice for summer garments, keeping you comfortable while still looking stylish.

This was my first time sewing the Natalie Knotted Tank, and it definitely won't be my last! The pattern was enjoyable to sew and came together surprisingly quickly, making it a fantastic project for a weekend make. I chose the relaxed-fit version with the flattering V-neckline, which gives the top an effortless, casual look that's perfect for everyday wear.

One of the things I love most about this pattern is its versatility. As well as the relaxed-fit V-neck version, the pattern also includes a scooped neckline option and a fitted version, giving you plenty of opportunities to customise your wardrobe. Whether you prefer a more relaxed silhouette or something more figure-hugging, there's an option to suit your style.

The knotted front detail adds a lovely design feature that elevates a simple tank top into something a little more special. It's the kind of top that works equally well paired with jeans, shorts, skirts, or layered under a cardigan when the evenings get cooler.

If you're looking for a quick, versatile sewing project that you'll reach for again and again, I'd definitely recommend giving the Natalie Knotted Tank a try. I already have plans to make several more in different fabrics and colours!

The Primrose Dress By Gingerrellina London

I had the opportunity to test the amazing new Primrose Dress by Gingerrellina London who I discovered on Instagram and now I’m obsessed! The Primrose comes in four lengths: mini, midi, maxi, and top lengths, from which I chose the top and feel it really suits me. 
✨ 

It can be styled with natural waist pleats or drop waist pleats. I added natural waist pleats for that timeless, structured look. The pleat detail all around the waist is lovely, it really does create an amazing shape. To finish add bias-binding to the arm and neck and lastly, if your thinking how do you get it on - well there is an invisible zip in the back! I made my version using this gorgeous lightweight cotton from @abcfabricuk, and I love how it turned out.

Here's my new Kora dress from Designer Stitch, it has an amazing shape to this dress. Kora comes in two lengths, beautiful contoured waistband. I love the v neck with front buttons for opening, but as you also have an invisible side seam zip you don't really need to use the buttons.

I made the short sleeve with ties that ruch the sleeve, but you can also made long sleeves with an elastic cufflet. I used this beautiful polyviscose as you need a nice drape in your fabric for this pattern. It's the perfect dress for a lunch date or even a night out.

The Lark Lounge Set by Petite Stitchery Patterns

Looking for something cool, cozy, and perfect for everyday wear? Let me introduce you to the Lark Lounge Set by Petite Stitchery Patterns! ✨

This relaxed two-piece set is such a dream to wear and sew. It features an oversized raglan top paired with easy, loose fit lounge shorts, basically the ultimate comfy outfit for relaxing at home while still looking cute.

The pattern comes with lots of great options, including a choice of crop or full top lengths, elbow, 3/4, or long sleeves, and optional sleeve pleat details. The shorts are high-rise with an elastic waistband and optional drawstring, plus slant pockets and two inseam lengths so you can customise the fit.

For mine, I made the crop length with elbow sleeves with the pleats using the dreamiest soft terry velour from ABC Fabric. It’s seriously so cozy! I used a viscose jersey for the neckband to give it a little extra stretch, which worked perfectly.

Honestly it’s so comfy I might need to make a few more sets so I can wear one everyday 😂
