Love Notions just released The Allegro Pattern, which includes elastic waist, jogger-style Pants, Shorts (2 lengths), and a skirt (either knee-length or maxi). The pattern is designed for wovens, but can be made in knit too. In testing, I made shorts (which I’ll share later), but I was loving the design of the maxi skirt… Continue reading Linen Allegro Maxi Skirt
I’m back for the second installment of my new pajamas, made from the Women’s Luna Loungewear Set (See Part 1 here). This time I made the capris and cami and used some really soft french terry for the capris and some really stretchy, flimsy (but soft) mystery knit for the cami. I used red… Continue reading New Pajamas, Part 2
Love Notions just released the Luna Loungewear Set for Ladies and the Luna Loungewear Set for Girls and I got to test the women’s version! Let me tell you…I’m obsessed…seriously, I just went through my fabric the other day and all I could think about was which fabric would make good camis! The set includes a camisole… Continue reading New Pajamas, Part 1

The contest is happening over on instagram so make sure to go check out #mingoandgracepatterns to see… Continue reading MG2716 Skirt
One of the sewing blogs I read, imagine gnats, is having a summer shorts sew-along, so I thought it would be fun to sew along. Since we are planning to spend the entire summer at the pool, I thought it would be appropriate to make some towel shorts to throw on over our swimming suits.… Continue reading Pool Towel Shorts
I made this from a men’s XL t-shirt from old navy that I got for $2 on clearance. I cut the whole bottom of the shirt from somewhere below the armpits down (had to measure how much to cut off to get my desired length), then cut a big strip from the top, sewed the… Continue reading T-shirt Skirt
I hear maxi skirts are all the rage these days, so I’ve been wanting to make one. I bought this black knit from Walmart with just that intent, but I used part of it for another dress before I could get to the maxi…so there just wasn’t enough. Enter green knit that my mom gave… Continue reading Colorblocked Maxi Skirt
