This is such a cute top! Releasing today is the George and Ginger Posh Top. I made a size 14 tween for the girl out of cotton lycra from Fabric Anthropology. Kristi did shorten the pattern a few inches after this version, but otherwise the fit is the same on the final. It has these […]
This was a new test for George & Ginger Pattern Company, where she extended the sizes on the bottom and top of her size range. She added tween sizes (12 & 14) and sizes in the upper range (goes up to size 26/5X). The Slash Tunic by George & Ginger Patterns This was my first […]
Not one to shy away from fanwear for my kiddos, I happily tested this football jersey top pattern. The test ended up being dropped due to some fit issues, so unfortunately, no pattern at this point to share. Maybe in the future she will finish it up, but not sure if that is in the […]
Another pattern test from Rogue Pattern company. This one is a loose fitting, wide neckline raglan dress with a handkerchief hem. It is very comfortable! Romeo Raglan Dress I had some focusing issues…excuse the slightly blurry pictures! I made mine with a stretch French terry fabric that has a nice drape. I felt like I […]
As the Girl’s gym teacher learned when he was trying to talk her into joining the track team. He was pushing hard, too. “Uh, yeah, no…running isn’t really my thing.” You can, though, still look cute in them. These are the Rumba Joggers from Rogue Patterns, set to release tomorrow. They come in a huge […]
It was hard to cut into my Carina Nebula brushed poly from Zenith & Quasar fabrics, but I knew that the pattern would fit well. Brasov from Itch to Stitch This is the new Brasov top from Itch to Stitch, and I tested it. This was my first test top, and I didn’t really need […]
This was a pattern test for a summer tank top for Orange Daisy Patterns. I liked the coverage, and the fact that she can actually wear this to school. It seems like a lot of summer tops are not geared towards school aged kids and schools clothing standards. Strappy tops and open backs are usually […]
Sara at RP Custom Fabrics has decided to venture into pattern making, and I tested her first two patterns. She is giving these away for free, but you need to join her group to get the code for them. Tranquility Shorts Tranquility Tank/Dress The first pattern is a pair of shorts with the curved open […]
Look at that stripe matching! Just look at it!! Yes, I am happy to say that I paid attention during cutting to try to get the side seams and the front and back all matched up for the plaid version of this cute little dress. Mantica Dress by Sofilantjes This knit summer dress was another […]
It has been awhile since I made a blazer, and Wardrobe by Me was going into testing for one. The timing was less than ideal. I had already committed to doing some sample sewing and another test, and then I had a funeral. I was soooooo very glad when I got this finished. It turned […]
