Made by a Fabricista: Two Can Play Hearts

Hi family,

Eunice here, and I am on to my third make as a Fabric Mart Fabricista! This time I chose a 100% Polyester Hearts & Circles Print Blouse Weight Woven. This fabric was almost 60 inches wide & I got 5 yards. I also selected a black lining fabric. Both fabrics were beautiful and I immediately decided to make two outfits.


The first dress is a fitted dress I saw on Instagram. I decided to self draft it myself. Because of the soft buttery texture of the fabric I decided that French seams would go beautifully inside.


The lining fabric was beautiful enough to use for the ruffle at the bottom of the dress. The rectangular shape sleeve was something I had seen and wanted to emulate. I couldn't have been happier with how it came out. The dress turned out so beautiful!

 


For my second make I used a Vintage Simplicity 7383. This was a dress I had made before, it's a maxi dress with a cape, the pattern was straight forward, I didn't do any adjustment, I also used some of the lining fabric for the cape to contrast the dress.
 

If you know me you know I love maxi dress and this pattern is absolutely one of my favorites, very easy to sew and very comfortable. I also used French seams on this dress to just because of the texture of the fabric.




I love both my makes, the fabric is flowy and airy, and in this Texas heat, it's just what I needed.

Made By A Fabricista: Did someone say FREE??? All about Free Sewing Patterns

Hi sewing friends! I am SEW excited to share this blog post with you today! This is my fifth post with Fabric Mart since I did a guest post late last year and then joined the blogging team in 2024 but I would say this is the post that 1) I worked the hardest to create, and 2) the one that has me the most excited! Today I am going to talk about FREE sewing patterns, showcase a few free patterns I’ve sewn, and then share some very exciting news at the end of this post about an upcoming! First, let’s talk about free patterns – where they come from, why they exist, and how you can find them. But first, here’s a recent free pattern I sewed. This is the Finn Crop Tee from Petite Stitchery . I used an ITY (Interlock Twist Yarn) for this one and I was able to squeeze it out a yard of a fabric. ITY is one of my favorite fabrics to dress up a t-shirt and it wears well across all seasons. And Fabric Mart gets the most AMAZING designer deadstock designs you will ever see! Petite Stitchery offers...

Made By A Fabricista: Fall is here!

Fall is here, and I have been in a coat/cape mood lately! I have a few that I plan to make, however, this pattern was not in the plans. It was in my stash, but it wasn’t on my “must make” list. I wanted to make a coordinating set but I thought it might be a little too much with this print. Now, I absolutely love animal prints, don’t get me wrong. I am a sucker for them! When I saw this jacquard double knit I had to have it. Instead, I decided to make an easy, comfortable cape that I can wear casually or dressed up. This pattern and fabric were perfect! The pattern I chose to make is McCall’s 8029. This cape has three designs that you can choose from. I chose to make view C. View C has a hood. All three views have a neck and front facing and a belt/tie. Now, if you are wanting to make a cape but would like something on the easy side, this is your cape! I didn’t realize just how easy this was prior to getting started. This cape has minimal sewing. It doesn’t even require a hem. Which, w...

Made by a Fabricista: Structure

By
Hi everyone!  I can’t believe the year is nearly wrapping up already and this is my last post for 2024! You may have noticed but the barrel silhouette has been very much in right now from pants to sleeves.  To be honest I was a little bit hesitant about hopping on to the trend.  One I was not sure if the proportions would work for my body also I considered would this be a long lasting trend to keep incorporated in my closet?  But after a few seasons the barrel seems to stay in many variations, I think exaggerated proportions are such a thing now.  I saw this Cult Gaia x Gap denim dress collab with the barrel sleeves and wanted to remake it.  When I saw this brown distressed denim twill I knew it was perfect.  I had been debating between making cargo pants but I wanted to try to do something different and went for the dress once I saw the inspiration.   I used McCall’s pattern 8139 as my base with the following modifications.  Instead of...
