Summer Makes Round-up

Summer sewing was busier than I had anticipated. I made quite a few basics that I desperately needed and a couple dresses of course. I didn’t write a blog about most of them since I used patterns that I consider tried and true, and may already have a blog post about it from previous makes. Here is a quick summary of them in photos.

#1 - Sicily Slip Dress

Pattern by Sewing Masin (up to 56” hips). My blog post about it can be found here.

#2 - Gilbert Top

Pattern by Helens Closet (up to 58” bust). My original post about this can be found here.

#3 - Ilford Jacket

Pattern by Friday Pattern Company (up to 60” chest). My original post about this pattern can be found here.

#4 - Saltwater Slip Dress

Pattern by Friday Pattern Company (up to 60“ chest).

#5 and # 6 - Reynolds Top & Dress (hacked).

Pattern by Helens Closet (up to 58” bust).

#7 - Refashion

I refashioned a RTW dress.

#8 - Axis Tank

Pattern by Sophie Hines (Up to 50” bust). I made multiple tank tops as it was a great stash buster and a very easy sew too. I am sure I’ll be making even more. Here are a few I could photograph.

That was my summer! Excited for Fall and what it’ll bring in terms of sewing motivation.

Happy Sewing,
