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

By
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: Gingham Summer Days

By
If you’ve seen our recent posts on Facebook or Instagram you might know that I love gingham. Gingham, check plaid, any plaid really. But I also have very little of it in my actual wardrobe. So I set out to fix that today. I’m using two free patterns to make this cute matching set. Seamwork’s Hansie top and Rosery Apparel’s free shorts pattern. I’ve made one other Seamwork pattern before and it was pretty cropped. Even after I lengthened it. I’ve heard that a lot of their top patterns tend to be cropped. So I lengthened the shirt by two inches. I’m getting used to my serger now too!  The shorts are an elasticated waist boxer short style. They’re super comfy, but definitely run a bit big. And if you’re doing the inseam pockets, I would suggest moving the placement up an inch or so. The bottom of these babies hang right at the bottom of the shorts, so they’re sometimes visible. What you should definitely NOT do is use your brand new used serger to chop an inch off the bot...
