Made By A Fabricista: Youtube Edition - Marty

This project is one that I have been thinking about for a very long time. Okay so in reality I have been thinking about expanding past my 1540's Florentine Ren for a while. And with the help of some quality linen from Fabric Mart I may have just done that. In the girliest way possible.

This dress reminds me of the opening scene to the animated Sleeping Beauty which makes sense because the clothing is based on the same time period. But this doesn't make me feel any less like a noble lady who stepped out of the Bayeux Tapestry and into real life.

This general 14th-century-inspired dress is probably going to become my go-to grab when I want to feel fancy AND warm. I would also say I'll wear it when I don't want to lace myself into something... but that underdress has a lot of laces.

I see more 14th Century explorations in the future, so stay tuned!

Love,

Made By A Fabricista: I Sewed a Chic Matching Set with Fabric Mart Knit Fabric

There’s nothing I love more than sewing a project that is both stylish and comfortable—and this one checks all the boxes! For this make, I paired two Pattern Emporium designs with a gorgeous designer knit fabric from Fabric Mart, and the result is a matching tank and wide-leg pant set that’s as easy to wear as it is to sew. The Fabric Fabric Mart always has hidden gems, and this designer knit caught my eye right away. It’s the Urban Taupe/Gold/Black Polyester/Lycra MK Chain Print ITY Knit - NY Designer - 56W. The weight, stretch, and drape made it perfect for both a fitted top and a flowy pant. It’s soft against the skin, has great recovery, and presses beautifully. When working with knits, having a fabric that behaves well makes all the difference. The Patterns To build my set, I chose two favorites from Pattern Emporium: • The Works Tank Top – Simple, classic, and versatile. It skims the body just right and works beautifully as a layering piece or on its ow...

Made By A Fabricista: Turning the Page

We had a lovely, warm September in central New Jersey but as of last week, fall has finally started to set in. While I’m no longer operating on a school calendar, I always look forward to the return of fall, the crisp air, the colorful leaves, and the opportunity to “turn over a new leaf.” While exploring the Fabric Mart website, browsing all their gorgeous cottons, I was incredibly inspired by the Eggshell/Black 100% Cotton Horizontal Stripe Weave Lawn . It looks exactly like a lined piece of paper. I thought it would make a fun top for work during this transitional season, one that sparks “blank page” creativity. I wanted to pair the top with a simple yet classic pair of pants, allowing each piece to be a quality addition to my work and loungewear wardrobe, working together and as separates. I picked up the beautiful Midnight Navy/White 100% Tencel Chambray , which has a fun denim-look while being quite soft and flowy. When designing the top, I wanted to play with the stripes. I chos...
