Comment “dress” for the link to the two patterns I used to make this masterpiece!

My @curvesathome Juniper tote is the perfect match for this fit and my new tabis add another touch of feminine for me!

I just finished sewing a cozy bottle-green nursing sweatshirt from warm winter knit fabric. 🌿❄️ The sweatshirt is breastfeeding-friendly, and it’s my last project before the baby arrives. Today I’m 38+4 weeks! 🩷👶🏻🤰🏻

Me Made May Day 30!

All dressed up to celebrate @gulcharity 20th anniversary with a ceilidh. I love this dress for a ceilidh, the circle skirt in neoprene really floats on the spins.
The pattern is the #MidiBacklessDress by @chikafrikpatterns and the fabric is a light neoprene from @minervadotcom and trim from @manishasfancyfabricsandtrims

My high school pals and I are turning 40 this year, and we are partying right! Number two for the year was a fabulous fancy catered dinner party (shout out to @adamwmys )with a black and white theme 🖤🤍

Now if you’ve been around a while, you know I mostly only wear color, and do not have fancy black or white outfits in my closet. But I figured, black and white but make it “me” - challenge accepted 🙌 and got to work!

I already had this @ikeacanada duvet cover in my stash (thrifted of course), and it was the perfect thing for this project! The process of making this and then the reward of wearing this at the party brought me so much joy, thank you to @joellenadinestudio for unknowingly providing me the opportunity to try something new and wear it with confidence! ❤️

@mairwen.dance did her A level Dance Practical assessment yesterday - we are so incredibly fortunate that @ysgolyfro has an incredible dance department in @dawnsygbm that gives young dancers the opportunity to study dance up to A level alongside their other subjects!

One of her pieces was based on New Money from the Great Gatsby, which obviously needed a new costume! Not identical to the costume worn in the Broadway show, but close enough that you can see the connection.

Costume details:
Sequin halter neck top - built on a leotard base and with invisible straps to make it safe to dance full out in

Pleat front wide trousers made of stretchy fabric to enable a full range of movement

Fabric: @dalston.mill.fabrics - sequin mesh; @tiaknightfabrics - leo base fabric (you can't see it, but it's definitely there!) & trousers

Patterns: top - draft based on a block by @design_cut_and_wear
Trousers: @chikafrikpatterns

I missed sewing so much, but I dont really have as much time for conventions and cosplay. So I've decided to pivot to making clothes for myself (and maybe friends in the future). I made a dress for myself for Christmas that I'll post later.

My current project is the Floral Jumpsuit from @chikafrikpatterns.

I love to find patterns that have something new I havent done yet. This pattern has shirring in the back panel and I'm making my own bias from the fabric I've chosen! I'm not great at updating on projects but I'll try to take pictures along the way and upload them at the end at least.
