Made By A Fabricista: YouTube Edition | Korok Inspired Loungewear

At long last, I recently got access to a nintendo switch and have finally been able to play one of the most celebrated games for the console - Legend of Zelda, Breath of the Wild. All throughout the game, there are these adorable little Koroks. I just think that they’re so cute and knew that I wanted to make something inspired by their look. Since I am still very much in a comfy-cosplay mode, I chose to make this month’s project a Korok inspired loungewear set.

For this project, I used a soft and stretchy beige heathered jersey knit. 

Check out the video below to see how I made my piece!

I used an existing pair of pants and a dolman sleeve top to create the pattern for this set. I altered the top by including a hood, which also features the ‘branches’ that are seen on the tops of the Koroks heads. I added two front pockets to the pants for convenience, and a soft folded waistband. To keep the look the Koroks have in the game, I also hand painted an organic striped pattern on the set with some thinned down paint. 





Unfortunately Fabric Mart Fabrics sell out quickly!

Made By A Fabricista: A matching set and a happy error.

 Hi sewing friends! Today I’m sharing a new outfit I made inspired by looks I’ve been seeing pop up in my Facebook and IG feeds a LOT this year. I’m talking about those monochromatic matching top and bottom outfits, sometimes in linen, sometimes in a flowy knit - the ones that advertise they go effortlessly from loungewear to office wear to going out wear. So I decided to “sew the look” using Fabric Mart fabric and a few patterns I already in my massive pattern library. First, let me share that I have very few solid color pieces in my closet. I’m so taken in by whimsy and geometric prints that this is still a gaping hole in my wardrobe -  a matching solid color set was actually a practical addition for me.  So let me walk you through how I created this look, and also tip you off to an error I made while cutting that worked out pretty well after all. Can you spot the error? Hint - it’s somewhere in the top: Here’s how I went about building my matchy match outfit. And here’...

Made By A Fabricista: Birthday Dress

May is my absolute favorite month, we get to enjoy spring weather and it is my birth month.  The birthstone for May is Emerald. I think emerald is such a gorgeous color so when I saw this beautiful ombre charmeuse I thought it would be the perfect fabric to make for my birthday dress.  To be honest it took me a while to narrow down on a design.  After a lot of back and forth I ended up going back to my first sketch that I created. I love to sketch out my ideas to figure out the patterning and materials. To create the design I used the method of draping on my dressform.  I used the lightweight muslin that Fabric Mart offers.  It is always best to use a muslin or material similar to your final fabric.  I started first by marking my style lines with some draping tape on my dress form.  I tore out pieces of muslin to fit within those lines making sure I am always marking my grainline. I also used the muslin to determine how I will create the rosettes onto...
