The Juliette Dress and Top Tour

The Juliette Dress and Top is the latest pattern from Sewpony Patterns. It was designed in collaboration with Jill from Kneesocks and Goldilocks. I have always admired both of these talented ladies for their sewing skills and good taste in clothing design.  When Jill asked me if I wanted to be in the pattern tour, I didn't think twice about saying yes! 

Tinny Returns!!! (slim colar version)

Hello everyone,

I had the privilege to test another pattern from my favorite Belgian designer, An from Straight Grain. The new and improved Tinny dress. 

The Tinny dress has everything  I love on a dress; simplicity, comfort and elegance. For this dress, I used a super soft woven double sided fabric (sorry, I don't know the name of it). It is gold on one side and red on the other. Which is what gifts it the iridescent look.  Pretty cool, huh?! The texture of the fabric looks like the one you would see on dupioni silk fabric, but it's not as stiff.
