What to Wear: 4th of July.

I'm going to throw it out there and say my favorite part of any holiday is figuring out what I am going to wear for the occasion. I take great precaution in planning my outfit like it's my red carpet appearance. I think this quote "Every day is a fashion show and the world is your runway" puts it best. And as a fabricista, I enjoy taking the time to make that perfect outfit. I sketched out two ideal outfits from my favorite red, white, and blue fabrics from Fabric Mart for this patriotic season.

Outfit for the Ladies:

A shirt dress with pintuck bodice and pockets.

Easy to wear and comfortable.

Match with a strappy sandal and you have a perfect 4th of July outfit!

~~SNE1724 - Stripe Pima Cotton~~ SOLD OUT

[ Pima Cotton is closely compared to Egyptian Cotton.

It is a high quality cotton that is very soft and fine which makes

it a great choice for dresses and dress shirts. ]

Gentlemen:

Don't forget to make your love a coordinating outfit for your outings!

Make him a laid back dress shirt and a pair of linen flat front shorts to compliment your dress.

~~1. SLE2447 Plaid Cotton Shirting Wrinkle Free~~ SOLD OUT

~~2. SEA2566 J N Y Linen Dark Royal~~ SOLD OUT

You'll look like a perfect pair!

But SURE. I only give you this idea now! Don't worry, there are plenty of patriotic holidays you can pull this sweet set out on. Or if you are like me with a huge fabric stash you might only get to it next year! (in that case this post came in perfect timing!)

Happy sewing and have a beautiful 4th of July, everyone! - Kaitlin

Made By A Fabricista: Turning the Page

We had a lovely, warm September in central New Jersey but as of last week, fall has finally started to set in. While I’m no longer operating on a school calendar, I always look forward to the return of fall, the crisp air, the colorful leaves, and the opportunity to “turn over a new leaf.” While exploring the Fabric Mart website, browsing all their gorgeous cottons, I was incredibly inspired by the Eggshell/Black 100% Cotton Horizontal Stripe Weave Lawn . It looks exactly like a lined piece of paper. I thought it would make a fun top for work during this transitional season, one that sparks “blank page” creativity. I wanted to pair the top with a simple yet classic pair of pants, allowing each piece to be a quality addition to my work and loungewear wardrobe, working together and as separates. I picked up the beautiful Midnight Navy/White 100% Tencel Chambray , which has a fun denim-look while being quite soft and flowy. When designing the top, I wanted to play with the stripes. I chos...

Made By A Fabricista: In the Fall, We Make Halter Dresses

Is we too many people? Am I the only one making halter dresses in the fall? I’m not quite ready to start my fall/winter sewing, so I’ll keep summer going. My summer was pretty eventful, and I didn’t get to sew much and now I’m trying to do a little catching up. I’ve had this dress on my mind for a while now and I thought now is as good a time as any to sew it up and I’m so glad I did. For this month’s post, I decided to make the Julia Dress from Viki Sews. This dress features a semi-fitted bodice with a full gathered skirt and a deep V-shaped back. The dress fastens at the neck and back with ties and of course it has pockets! I love the length of this dress. It’s not too short and it’s not too long, which is usually an issue for me because I’m so short. Based on my body measurements, I purchased a size 52, which is their largest size. Before I made a muslin, I measured the pattern at the waist and realized I needed to add a few inches. This might seem a little in...
