Made By A Fabricista: 3D Florals Meet Polka Dot Charm: A Look That Transitions With Style

When I saw a sleek pink mini skirt adorned with a dramatic 3D flower on Pinterest, I was immediately inspired. It had that perfect balance of playfulness and polish—something I knew I wanted to recreate with my own spin. Rather than replicate the exact look, I adapted the silhouette into something more wearable for my lifestyle using a vibrant stretch tweed fabric from Fabric Mart. The Skirt: From Pinterest to Personalized For my version, I used Butterick 5446—a tried-and-true pencil skirt pattern—as the base. I swapped out the smooth fabric from the inspiration for a neon stretch tweed, which adds structure and visual texture while still being comfortable to wear. The oversized flower detail is what makes this piece stand out, and it was surprisingly simple to make. I found a quick and easy tutorial on Instagram for how to create petal shapes and build a dimensional flower. There are also plenty of resources on YouTube that break the process down step by step. Once you’ve got the tec...

Made By A Fabricista: Riley Overalls

Hello friends,  My Latest Fabricista Make: True Bias Riley Overalls x Red Carmine Cotton/Lycra Stretch Sateen Hi everyone, this is Byrd with my latest Fabricista make! I knew I wanted to make a pair of overalls, and when I saw Fabric Mart’s gorgeous Red Carmine Cotton/Lycra Stretch Sateen ( Bottom Weight ), it was game over. The color? Bold and rich. The weight? Spot on for summer overalls—structured but still breathable. For the pattern, I went with the Riley Overalls by True Bias . I cut a size 20 at the bust and graded to a size 22 at the hips for a custom fit that works with my shape. There are 23 different pattern pieces in this design, so I queued up a favorite audiobook and settled in. This was one of those slow, satisfying makes I knew from the start I’d stretch out over several days, savoring the process. Before I even touched the scissors, though, I made sure to prep my fabric properly. Pre-washing and drying are key—especially with cotton/lycra blends. It helps eliminate...

Made By A Fabricista: Matching Sets Are Always a Win for Me

I think I might have a problem.  I’m obsessed with a good matching set. Matching Sets can be considered as a coordinated chic look. A perfectly paired top and bottom that creates a seamless, stylish look with minimal effort. I think that’s exactly what I did.  Usually when I’m looking for fabric, I try to have something in mind of what I’m going to make with it. Well, I’m here to report that I totally forgot what pattern I was going to use for this beautiful fabric. I believe I had a dress in mind, but I couldn’t remember the pattern for the life of me.  The fabric I chose is called Indian red dandelion soft lavender flower poplin shirting .  I’ve used poplin from Fabric Mart several times and it’s always a win for me. I went through several different patterns for the top, until I landed on the Sara Top from Fibre Mood. I’ve had this top in my stash for so many years, and I thought it would be great for this fabric. This pattern is basically 2 rectangles with a chann...
