Made by a Fabricista: Youtube Edition | Dee & Dory

YouTuber's Dee & Dory are back on the Fabric Mart blog today with their most recent Fabricista Makes. Make sure to click play on the video below to hear all about their fabric choices & how their projects turned out!


Dory:

Just in time for the warmer weather, I made Butterick 5045 View E out of Fabric Mart Fabrics lycra print jersey knit. As soon as I saw this beautiful floral print available, I knew I wanted it!   Everything I have read says pink is in this year.  It was easy to work with, just remember that this kind of knit stretches as it hangs, so you have to wait a day or two to hem it! I have used this kind of fabric before from Fabric Mart because I love the feel and the comfort of it!  The pockets in this pattern are so fun!  I really like the pleated detail in them.  I probably should have raised them, since there is that stretch. This will for sure be a go to dress in the summertime.  

Dee:

Challis,Challis,Challis!

 A soft light flowing fabric for a divine spring dress.  This challis of 100% Rayon sewed up beautifully  and was easy to work with.  The fabric washes well and when drying in the dryer promptly remove.  

Simplicity S9265 was my choice for a light flowing spring dress.  I was not disappointed with the results! The dress feels soft and elegant while being worn.  This dress will be a go to staple for my spring and summer wear.  

Thank you Fabric Mart!!

Made By A Fabricista: Surgery, a pattern hack, and a hemming tip.

Hello sewing friends! I’m here on the blog today sharing a pattern hack I recently did to boost my wardrobe with a few pieces to wear during my recovery from surgery…and I’m also sharing a tip for those pesky rounded hems. So let’s jump in! I recently had surgery on my neck due to issues with my parathyroid glands. All went to plan and I’m doing well, but I have to admit, the scar was a bit larger and more prominent than I expected. I definitely want to cover it up a bit during the healing process, and I realized that I own very few tops that cover that area of my neck. I don’t really love wearing high neck tops, so I came up with the idea to sew a top that I could convert back to my preferred style once I recover.  The pattern I used to do this is the Laundry Day Tee from Love Notions. This pattern is a fan favorite in the sewing community and has been around for more than ten years. I love the style – fitted at the bust but with extra swing at the waist, with lots of sleeve and n...

Made By A Fabricista: Jalie Open Front Blazer-Style Cardigan

Hi everyone, this is Byrd with my latest Fabricista make! If you’re looking for a versatile transitional spring layering piece - something you can dress up for the office or dress down for everyday wear - this ponte knit blazer-style cardigan might be exactly what your handmade wardrobe needs. This time around I’m sewing the Jalie Open Front Blazer-Style Cardigan , an indie sewing pattern designed for stable knits, using Fabric Mart’s Wet Sand Rayon/Nylon/Lycra Ponte Knit . This fabric and pattern pairing creates the perfect structured knit cardigan for spring, fall, and even cool summer evenings. The pattern specifically calls for a stable knit, and this rayon/nylon/lycra ponte knit was an ideal choice. Ponte fabric provides structure and recovery while still offering comfortable stretch, making it perfect for blazer-style cardigans, knit jackets, and professional layering pieces. The “wet sand” neutral tone is a wardrobe workhorse. If you’ve been following along, you know I usually ...
