Made by a Fabricista: Designer Quality Linen Outfit

By
Have you noticed the beautiful linen fabrics on Fabric Mart's site? You can see them here: Designer Quality Linen. So many colors! I chose this beautiful royal blue and royal it is!  

 


These aren't your average linens.  They have some nice drape and the colors are so vibrant!  

                                                                     
Since this season seems to be all about the sleeve and athleisure style pants, I made one of each style. Here are the patterns I used: 

Twist sleeve tunic top with fashionable hemline
The top is the Sadie Tunic by StyleArc.  


The pants are Jalie Patterns, Vanessa Flud Pants. Both are really awesome patterns but honestly, this is a lot of blue! I probably won't wear them together.  


They are both very comfortable and will make great separates for spring and summer. I love these elastic waistbands--so comfortable! 

  

I wanted to show you a detail of the sleeve. Isn't that fun?  


These linens are dry clean only but do state you can wash but to test it first.  I tested it and I liked the result of the washed linen and that is how I pre-treat all my fabric.  


Thanks for reading!

    Sue, you have such a good eye for what colors look fabulous on you. That royal blue is such a winner for you and your coloring.

    And I continue to be in awe of how quickly and how well your make up items. Bravo!

Made By A Fabricista: Valentine’s Day Cozy Lounge Set

What comes first: the pattern or the fabric? How do you make your sewing plans? Throughout the month of January, my social media feeds were flooded by fabulous sewists sharing sewing resolutions and goals, and designing thoughtful plans for their 2025 makes.  While I am a big planner in my day-to-day life, when it comes to my creative hobby, I am much more spontaneous. I find that fabric design and texture often inspires me most so I typically look for fabulous prints or bold colors and let the fabric tell me what it wants to become. As I turned my attention to my first-ever (!) Fabricista make, I wanted something to get my creative juices flowing. One evening, Fabric Mart shared an Instagram story that highlighted their Dusty Mauve Sweatshirt Fleece . It had a nice stretch, was fleece-backed, and was a muted baby pink that spoke to me. It was soft and feminine, perfect for a cozy day or night by the fire. I immediately knew I wanted to make a cute pair of sweatpants for a fun Vale...

Made by a Fabricista: Fun Fabrics

  I am so happy to still be a part of the Fabricista Blogger Team. I joined in the middle of the pandemic and have really enjoyed myself as a blogger.  Fabric Mart has truly been my go to place for shopping for fabulous fabrics that reflect my style.  I love that I get to shop deadstock fabric that will help give fabrics additional lifespan and fabric is typically limited quantities so you will be part of the few with that fabric.  As someone who is big on individuality this is such a plus for me.   Can we also talk about the great sales that Fabric Mart runs?  I literally stalk the site daily to find new fabrics and catch the featured sales.  During one of my daily visits to the site I came across this gorgeous  corduroy fabric  with a unique animal print.  At the time I wasn’t really sure what I wanted to make with it but I just knew I had to use this for my next featured make.  I was also able to get matching thread, another...

Made By A Fabricista: Sewing + Running

By
It’s not every day that I get to mix two of my favorite hobbies. Especially when one hobby is sewing and the other is running. You can’t sew and run at the same time, but, you can go running in something that you sewed! With this realization, I embarked on my first hobby-merging adventure.  We’ve had some frigid temperatures in Pennsylvania this winter. Since I’m an outside, stroller-pushing runner, I bundle up my son and myself before I hit the road. The temperature feels 20 degrees warmer for outside runners than the outside air. For the children being pushed in the stroller though, it feels about 20 degrees colder.  With these differences in temperature for each of us, layering is the only thing that ensures that we both stay perfectly warm. My running wardrobe has been lacking a warm top layer. My son’s wardrobe would also benefit from having another warm layer, so I knew pullovers were what I should make.  Inspired by a name-brand ¼ button-down fleece pullover I saw,...
