Dee:

My Fabricista was made from a Fabric Mart fashion bundle! That being said, I am not exactly sure what the fabric is composed of or what it’s officially called. I do know that it has a four-way stretch and feels like an athletic wear knit.  

I love this fabric!  The fabric was easy to work with sewed up beautifully and feels so nice while being worn.

The pattern for this top is New Look 6143. This was labeled as an easy pattern and it lived up to the label.  This top made from the fashion bundle, will become a staple part of my wardrobe!

Dory:

When I first say this Poplin shirting 100% cotton tie dye I knew I wanted to make a dress out of it.  I love this fabric! Not only is the print ideal but so is the soft feel and it’s so easy to sew with.  I used Butterick 6757 View B with the sleeve from View A.  It’s an easy pattern but there were some issues with the elastic around the back neckline and the upper arms.  I had to cut 5” and 4” of elastic off respectively.  Wow! That’s a lot of elastic that was not needed.  The channel for the elastic is made from bias tape that you sew in.  I used my gathering foot (for the first time) to make the bottom ruffle.  I’m very happy with the results!
