Mulsin round 2

It took me a while to get the muslin adjustments made, I was sick for a week and honestly, I just had more interesting sewing projects (instant gratification maxi skirt and finishing a pair of shorts that have taken forever that I want to wear before summer ends, which are finally done).

Changes I made include:

- letting out both sleeve seams (2 part sleeve) 1/4 in, resulting in 3/8 seam allowance
- letting out side seams 1/4 in, resulting in 3/8 seam allowance

I actually did not make as many changes as I originally thought, because I tried it on and it seemed like it might be big enough. I have sewing class tomorrow with E and I'll ask her opinion.

Honestly, I really did not want to re-sew those pesky princess seams and if I let them all out 1/4, I think the jacket will be too big but maybe I'm wrong, I'll see what E has to say about it.

George and Ginger 40k Sway - Pattern Review

Final product - 40k Sway George and Ginger Patterns gave the 40k Sway pattern away to celebrate having 40,000 members in their Facebook group. Look at how cute that neckline is? Of course I had to make this super cute freebie. As an extra bonus, there are directions for making a functional placket opening or faux opening. I opted for the faux placket because it's marginally easier and I have no reason that I need the opening to work but if you needed access to a port or to breastfeed, this top design would be great! I measure a size L12 (full bust 38") but I was at the top of the size range and worried it wouldn't fit in my arms so I decided to go up to an L14 and graded out to an XL16 hip. I checked my fabric stretch before sewing it as I was using a French Terry which is not always very stretchy. My fabric had 50% horizontal stretch and minimal vertical stretch (maybe 10%); the pattern says it needs 50% 2-way stretch so I thought I would be fine. Um.....no....It was way

George and Ginger Little Black Bra - pattern review

I have been obsessed with the George and Ginger Lovesick Bralette {now called the Little Black Bra} for the last few weeks. I have made 3   5  a million of them in these past few weeks! I've been sewing up a storm during the Shelter-in-Place orders from COVID-19 and thee bralettes have been perfect to wear when lounging around or working from home. This is the first and at this point, the only bra I have ever made. This pattern was really attractive to me because I didn't need any special supplies, I could make it from fabric I already had. I actually made all of these from swim/athletic knit scraps I had left over. Also, it's a free pattern! If you go the the George and Ginger Facebook group , you can download the pattern for free. It's available in sizes 29AA-48E. Since I used swim fabric, I could also wear these as swimsuit tops. I might make some solid black swim bottoms so I can wear whatever tops I feel like wearing. Pattern tips I never print my patterns

M7313 and E&M Lucky girl mash up!

Last week I made the Ellie & Mac Lucky Girl top ( pattern can be purchased here ) with the split sleeve (style 1) and I really loved the outcome (see it here)  but of course, I also wanted to make the tie sleeve version (style 2). I was looking at the fabric I had available and most of it was double brushed poly (DBP) which doesn't look nice on the back side (usually it's white on the back, printed on one side only), so I knew I’d want to line my sleeves. Last week, I decided to make the split sleeve version because how I was going to construct the lined sleeve was still percolating a little bit but now, I was ready to go! Despite my plan to make more separates this year, I had 3 yards of the fabric I wanted to use and opted to make a dress. I can’t help it, I just love dresses! It’s one garment to have a whole new outfit. The E&M Lucky Girl has a dress option but it’s a sheath style and I decided I would prefer a bodice + skirt option. McCall’s 7313 is a patter
