Made By A Fabricista: In Full Bloom For Spring

Image
By

We’re in full bloom for Spring with my new fabricista feature for this month! I’m kicking off the season with one of my favorite Spring KnowMe patterns ME2027. This Fabric Mart viscose challis fabric is the perfect fabric for Spring and I love a floral on a black background. It’s giving me bold retro vibes and I'm definitely here for it.


When you think of Spring you think of florals, colors and lighter weighted fabrics. This fabric is giving it all. I love the bold large scale print flowers up against the black canvas. The fabric is viscose challis fabric so it has a natural soft drapey feel to it which makes it great for spring dresses, skirts, jumpers and blouses. 

For this project I chose to create a version of my KnowMe Spring 2023 Jumpsuit pattern. It had the retro vibe to compliment this fabric and I love the way it turned out. I omitted the trims for this make and made it one solid fabric. This pattern has a zipper at the crotch and comes with buttons at the bodice. I switched out the buttons for hidden inside snaps. I like the clean look especially with this drapey fabric. I used a single snap for the belt only because I realized at the last minute I ran out of the eyelets to match the buckle hardware and didn’t have D-rings large enough for this belt either. So I improvised by making a snap belt. I was originally going to omit the belt but after trying it on I felt it needed something to cinch the waist. Those were the only modifications made to this pattern. 


This is a pretty fun and easy jumpsuit to bring together. I feel like this pattern becomes a little more beginner friendly when you omit the trim. I love it both ways but when I'm looking to shave off some time and make the pattern a little simpler I do leave off the contrasting trims. It is such a versatile pattern that it looks great either way.

I styled the piece with white accessories because I love the contrast. This is one of those patterns that look great dressed up or down. I chose to pair this look with a pair of chic white leather mules and a springy white bag. This look is fun, bold, bright, comfortable and chic. It is singing spring and I love it!


Until Next Time!❤️

    Could you publish a tutorial on how to modify ME2027 to omit the trim pieces like this version please?

    I found the YouTube video and it shows how the trim is attached and can easily be omitted. Please disregard my previous comment. The jumpsuit is fabulous and I can't wait to make one!

Made By A Fabricista: A Pink Suiting Set for Spring

By
Spring is here! So is my first blog of the year. I had some inspiration with this one. I saw a picture on an Instagram profile and wanted to make my own. Now, my version ended up a little different, but overall, I really love it. However, I still want to recreate the inspiration pic at some point. For this look, I chose a cotton candy pink double weave suiting . It is soft, has a semi-textured hand, and has a crepe weave on the wrong side. The fabric does have some stretch to it. I absolutely love the color and feel of this fabric. This is a suiting fabric with the softness of a knit. The thing I do not like about it though is it snags. So, I had to be careful using pins and seam ripping to prevent snags. I had the Fernanda Vicki Sews pattern in mind but once I downloaded the instructions and saw how many pieces were involved, I switched to a different pattern, lol. I ended up making the Riana Blazer. It has a semi-fitted blazer with a straight silhouette. A belt and belt loops that yo...

Made By A Fabricista: Youtube Edition - Marty

This is the beginning of a long-term project to make Italian Court Garb for my partner and me. And we are 100% blaming him for this. Because he asked. This project is your standard Venetian-style pants. I originally pulled this pattern for Matthew Gnagy's Modern Marker Vol 2. But over the years, I've made changes to fit my sewing preferences. The build for this was fairly straightforward. Once you get past the volume in the legs, it goes together like any other pair of pants. The only thing that really slowed me down was not being able to find the correct buttons locally (Thanks Joanns). Overall, this was a wonderful project to work on during the deadline season for my job because of how familiar it was. I am excited to continue to work on building his doublet, cassock, and eventually my gown. Be sure to check out my channel to follow along with the full build!

Made By A Fabricista: Sewing the Eleonora by Silversaga – A Romantic Dress you need in your closet

By
I recently had the pleasure of sewing up the Eleonora pattern by Silversaga, and I’m excited to share my thoughts because this one really surprised me—in the best possible way. If you’re not already familiar with Silversaga, their aesthetic leans into romantic minimalism—think timeless silhouettes with poetic details. The Eleonora Dress is a vintage-inspired, chemise-style from the Regency Era of the 1800’s design infused with modern elements like adjustable sizing, soft gathers, and flexible fit details.  The Eleonora is a thoughtfully designed dress pattern with multiple views and customizable features. Some of its standout design elements include: • Adjustable fit via ties and elastic channels at the neckline and waist, allowing it to flatter a range of body shapes and sizes. • Sleeve options, including short or long gathered raglan sleeves, often finished with ruffles for added softness. • A full, swishy four-panel skirt—complete with in seam pockets and a deep hem—that b...
