Made by a Fabricista: Two Can Play Hearts

Hi family,

Eunice here, and I am on to my third make as a Fabric Mart Fabricista! This time I chose a 100% Polyester Hearts & Circles Print Blouse Weight Woven. This fabric was almost 60 inches wide & I got 5 yards. I also selected a black lining fabric. Both fabrics were beautiful and I immediately decided to make two outfits.


The first dress is a fitted dress I saw on Instagram. I decided to self draft it myself. Because of the soft buttery texture of the fabric I decided that French seams would go beautifully inside.


The lining fabric was beautiful enough to use for the ruffle at the bottom of the dress. The rectangular shape sleeve was something I had seen and wanted to emulate. I couldn't have been happier with how it came out. The dress turned out so beautiful!

 


For my second make I used a Vintage Simplicity 7383. This was a dress I had made before, it's a maxi dress with a cape, the pattern was straight forward, I didn't do any adjustment, I also used some of the lining fabric for the cape to contrast the dress.
 

If you know me you know I love maxi dress and this pattern is absolutely one of my favorites, very easy to sew and very comfortable. I also used French seams on this dress to just because of the texture of the fabric.




I love both my makes, the fabric is flowy and airy, and in this Texas heat, it's just what I needed.

Made By A Fabricista: Vacation Vibes

By
We will be traveling to the Caribbean for Spring Break this year, so I started thinking about what I wanted to take with me that would be easy to wear, but also light and breezy.  Personally, I love wearing linen because it looks so luxe while still being really comfortable. Since coordinated sets are still on trend this year, I thought it would be fun to create some pieces that I could mix and match for a relaxed vacation mini-wardrobe.  (I just need to remember to pack my travel iron!)   I went through all of my patterns and came up with five different patterns that I knew would would coordinate well with each other, and that would work well with linen.  I wasn’t surprised when all the patterns I chose came from Pattern Emporium.  Their whole aesthetic is clothing that is on trend, easy to wear and comfortable.  For my first set, I used the Lightweight Yarn-Dyed Chambray Linen in Soft Oat.  This fabric is so incredibly soft and airy. ...

Made By A Fabricista: I Love A Bomber Jacket

By
Hello friends,  I’m Byrd, and today I’m excited to share my latest Fabricista project with you.  There’s something timeless about a bomber jacket that makes it a staple in my wardrobe. It’s effortlessly cool, versatile, and perfect for layering through the seasons. But what makes this particular bomber jacket even more special is its thoughtfully designed pattern. Not only is it a standard pattern, but it’s also adaptive—meaning the length and closures can be customized to suit your needs, whether you’re standing, sitting, or using a wheelchair. This level of inclusivity in design is something I truly appreciate, and that’s why I’m especially excited about this make! The Fabric: Cotton Poly Poplin For the bomber jacket, I chose a Salamander White cotton-poly poplin , and it couldn’t be a more perfect match. Poplin is a fantastic choice for outerwear because it’s lightweight yet durable, with just the right amount of structure to hold the classic bomber shape. The cotton-poly b...

Made By A Fabricista: Pleated High Waisted Pants And How To Style Them

By
Hi sewing friends! Today I’m excited to share some awesome trousers that I discovered last year when I was a tester on this pattern. These pants are seriously amazing and magical because they are pretty beginner friendly but you get a real ready to wear and higher end look due to a few clever features. I also think they are flattering on a variety of body shapes and sizes so all in all, this pattern is a winner for me. I’m also going to share three top patterns of different styles that work well with this trouser style. Have I peaked your interest? Let’s go! These magical trousers are the Padget Pants from Petite Stitchery & Co (PSCo). This pattern is size inclusive and goes up to a 5X or 62 inch hip. It also includes a great projector file with mirrored full pattern pieces (yay for good projector files!). Here are a few action shots of these awesome pants: The instructions specify a knit fabric, but many of the testers on the team made them in stretch or even non-stretch w...
