Made by a Fabricista: Wild Prints

Image
By

Lately I’ve become a big fan of animal prints and I feel like they should be mixed in within every wardrobe.  For this look I decided to create a set using this animal print challis.  This is a great fabric that I feel is very transitional between seasons.  It has both a nice hand and drape; it also doesn’t wrinkle as easily.   I was able to pack this for my vacation and not need to do much steaming afterwards.



I decided to make this look as we are now in August, and I felt like it would be the perfect transitional piece.  


Another great thing is that these can be worn with other pieces as well to create an entire new look.  For the pants I used the Simplicity x Mimi G #S9114. The modifications were only to slightly lengthen since I am taller than the size it was drafted.  The pattern has front pleats which works well with the fabric.  The fabric was easy and fun to sew as well.

I wanted an oversized look for the top portion.  For this I made the Friday Pattern Company Ilford Jacket.  It’s a unisex oversized jacket style that worked perfectly for the look I was trying to achieve.   It can be used as a top or a light jacket for the cooler nights.


The overall look is chic comfort.  Something that I can mix and pair with other garments, also it is super comfortable.  I feel like I am wearing lounge clothing.   Like most people being the house during the pandemic I got adjusted to wearing more comfortable lounge clothing.  This set achieves that for me while still being dressed. The neutral tones in the print are great because they can be paired with a pop of color in accessories.

For my look I paired them with my DIY cage bag and handmade leather sandals that I created.   I incorporated a few different animal prints in the way I accessorized.

Made by a Fabricista: What's Black and Gold with Chevron All Over? This DIY Pant Suit, That's What!

Hope you're having a Golden day, get it? [I crack myself up sometimes!] This DIY pant suit is golden for sure.  So tell me this, were you one of the lucky ones who were able to grab some of this fabric when Fabric Mart posted their new arrivals? I jumped on it so fast it was crazy and before you know it "poof" it was gone. So sorry I don't have any links to this fabric but all is not lost, you can use something else for these patterns. Try looking in the suiting selection for the blazer. The other awesome option is denim  and as  always check the New Arrivals. I went to my "tnt"  blazer pattern for this project because I knew the metallic bias around the edges would look fab and I was on a mission to make another pair of mimi g's jeans and trim the seams in metallic bias as well. I recommend both of these patterns to any level sewist. I did a little pattern hack on the blazer pockets to make them a little more interesting and I made a pic...

Made By A Fabricista: The Skirt that Brought my Sewjo Back

By
I know it can’t just be me. My sewjo has gone away and I’ve been having such a hard time trying to get it back. I remember the days when I used to sew every single day without fail and now, not so much. I think about sewing and all the things I’d love to make, but I just haven’t found the motivation. I kind of know what the issue is. I started a new job last October and ever since I started, I’ve been sewing less and less and I don’t like it! Well, in comes Simplicity S3237.  Summertime is here and it’s time to bring out all the skirts. Simplicity recently released S3237 as part of their summer patterns. This skirt is a full, gathered skirt with a bias-cut yoke with side seam pockets and an invisible back zipper. The skirt comes in 3 different lengths – mini, midi and maxi.  I decided to make View B which is the midi length. I’m not much of a maxi length kind of girl and that mini was a little too small for me. I sewed up a size 22 with a few modifications. Let’s talk about th...

Made By A Fabricista: Summery Stripes Set

By
Warm weather and linen go hand in hand! Our summer has been slow to show up with the heat, but bright, sunny afternoons have me all ready for light, swingy garments to stay cool. Wearing matching sets has been one way to make getting dressed easier when I hit decision fatigue since reaching for two items that already go together removes the need to plan or do any rearranging.  This is a lovely lighter-end-of-mid-weight linen in the most beautiful and subtle seaglass hues of grays and greens. This color combo strikes me as so calm and sophisticated, and a little stripe-play is perfect for details.  My tank pattern is the brand-spankin’ new Matchy Matchy Sewing Club Sunny Side Tank, just released this week. It’s a perfect little cropped A-line shape for wearing with high waisted pants or showing some midriff.  I made no changes to the extra small. The wide neckline is so elegant and this shape still gives full bra coverage to boot.  These really cute pants are the Mat...
