Made by a Fabricista: One Pattern, THREE different VIEWS!

Happy Saturday!

I am so excited to share my July make along with two other amazing sew sisters that I met via social media. After winning last year's Fabric Mart challenge, I have connected with so many awesome ladies in the sewing community!

   Honestly, over the last ten months, I have learned so much from my sewing community of friends who have always shown much love and support.  I am grateful for this platform and opportunity with Fabric Mart, where I am able to share my monthly makes and be committed to a hobby that I truly enjoy. Carla (middle) and Johanna (right) are two amazing ladies that I can always count on for sewing advice.

Made By a Fabricista: White Lace Skirt for Summer

Hi Fashionistas!

I hope you had a lovely 4th of July Holiday and sewed and celebrated! My latest sewing project for the month of July is this beautiful white lace skirt that I made by combining a white cotton corduroy with a white lace fabric overlay.

Made by a Fabricista: Bright Pink!

Summer arrived full-force in South Dakota and when I think of hot weather, I automatically go to linen.  With this bright pink linen, I knew it would be a great dress.  Fabric Mart has such an awesome linen collection.  Have you checked it out?  You can do that here: Designer Quality Linen

There are so many wonderful colors to choose from!

I simply LOVE this stuff!  It washes and dries beautifully and it's made from completely natural fibers, so it sews and presses like a dream.  Need I say more???

Before I cut into my fabrics for this monthly post, I try and do some research.  For this month, I looked for summer dresses with easy silhouettes and fun sleeves.  This is the dress I came up with.

I really love those sleeves and I had read from several reviewers that the sleeves were fully lined and clever.  Sold!

Introducing our Summer Photo-A-Day Instagram Challenge!

The What:

We've created a twenty-one day photo challenge to add some excitement to your summer! Beginning July 15th, join Julie by taking & posting a photo with the day's theme on Instagram. At the end of the three weeks we are going to pick three random participants to win one of three prizes. Each day you participate is one entry into the giveaway. Which means if you post every day, you'll have twenty-one chances to win! For fairness we are only accepting one photo per day. So don't do three days at a time, or you're entries won't count! And you can participate just one day, or all twenty-one! Missed a day? No problem! Don't know what to post for another day's prompt? Skip it! The whole goal is to have fun & to get to know each other!
