Made by a Fabricista: December Denim

Hi Guys! I've been so obsessed with denim this season that I couldn’t help but feature this denim two piece look created from Fabric Mart denim collection as my December Fabricista Feature. Denim is one of those year round fabrics that provide versatility, comfort and style. It never goes out of season and just about everything looks good in denim!

This particular fabric is a heavier denim that holds structure and shape very well. With this fabric I drafted and used my newest pattern that will be releasing soon the Alba Skirt pattern and the Ava Cropped Jacket!

Seeing as this denim is great for structure and shape I thought it would pair great with the pleated detail these two patterns feature. Although these two patterns can be created in a medium to lighter weighted woven denim or twill fabric, I love the structure that the heavier weight pulls off.

I used Mettler threads denim doc with this heavier weight denim because it is strong and sturdy. Its also great to use heavier denim needles with these type of projects since the fabric is so thick. This fabric sews up quite well and I loved the way these pieces came out. The best part is these denim pieces are totally versatile and can be worn separately on their own. And even more so as Denim separates in my opinion.

The Ava jacket features an over sized foldover collar, two oversized pockets, button front, lantern sleeve with pleated details at the arm and pleats at the back. It’s a copped jacket with an oversized look. Very on trend and would look great as a jacket or button up top.

The Alba skirt is a high waisted skirt with pleated skirt hem. It has a zipper fly, side seam pockets, darts at the front and back waist and best of all the front wrap detail on the right side. The wrap has a button option or a decorative zipper option. If you prefer rocking this style without the wrap feature and prefer something more classic the wrap feature can be left off!

I love my versatility, in fabric, design and styling! This denim two piece is giving me all those things. Can't wait to remix and wear these pieces in my wardrobe! I will be dropping The Alba and Ava patterns by Jan 1rst If you want to make this set! Its a great time to get into denim if you haven't already.

Until Next Time!❤️

Made By A Fabricista: Turning the Page

We had a lovely, warm September in central New Jersey but as of last week, fall has finally started to set in. While I’m no longer operating on a school calendar, I always look forward to the return of fall, the crisp air, the colorful leaves, and the opportunity to “turn over a new leaf.” While exploring the Fabric Mart website, browsing all their gorgeous cottons, I was incredibly inspired by the Eggshell/Black 100% Cotton Horizontal Stripe Weave Lawn . It looks exactly like a lined piece of paper. I thought it would make a fun top for work during this transitional season, one that sparks “blank page” creativity. I wanted to pair the top with a simple yet classic pair of pants, allowing each piece to be a quality addition to my work and loungewear wardrobe, working together and as separates. I picked up the beautiful Midnight Navy/White 100% Tencel Chambray , which has a fun denim-look while being quite soft and flowy. When designing the top, I wanted to play with the stripes. I chos...

Made By A Fabricista: In the Fall, We Make Halter Dresses

Is we too many people? Am I the only one making halter dresses in the fall? I’m not quite ready to start my fall/winter sewing, so I’ll keep summer going. My summer was pretty eventful, and I didn’t get to sew much and now I’m trying to do a little catching up. I’ve had this dress on my mind for a while now and I thought now is as good a time as any to sew it up and I’m so glad I did. For this month’s post, I decided to make the Julia Dress from Viki Sews. This dress features a semi-fitted bodice with a full gathered skirt and a deep V-shaped back. The dress fastens at the neck and back with ties and of course it has pockets! I love the length of this dress. It’s not too short and it’s not too long, which is usually an issue for me because I’m so short. Based on my body measurements, I purchased a size 52, which is their largest size. Before I made a muslin, I measured the pattern at the waist and realized I needed to add a few inches. This might seem a little in...
