Create This Look – Dusty Blue Damask Chiffon
This Week I was inspired by the “Be Outside Dress in Delft” from ModCloth.
I can imagine a beautiful parisian lady enjoying a lovely picnic in a park, wearing this dress. The fabric used to make the inspiration dress is a thicker cotton. I chose a lighter weight chiffon because of the print. If lined with our white poly cotton, the dress will look very similar.
The Pattern I chose is a vintage inspired pattern by Butterick. It has close fitting, lined bodice, Read More...
Create This Look – Dino Chambray
Happy Monday Guys! I am super excited about the look this week! I think it will be a hit with you teachers too. This week’s outfit was inspired by the “Dino My Gosh Dress in Pine” from ModCloth.
Now I am aware the fabric looks nothing like the print on the dress, but this lightweight printed chambray is just to cute! I couldn’t resist!
The pattern I chose is M6923 by Mccalls. I was surprised that I couldn’t find a pattern that Read More...
Create This Look – Dark Denim Chambray with Diamonds
Good Morning! I was inspired by the “Teaching Classy Dress in Navy Dots” from ModCloth this week. The name of the dress also reminded me of all the teachers out there searching for outfits to wear for the new school year.
I was lucky enough to find a pattern that matched our inspiration look, almost exactly. Its from the New Look Collection by Simplicity 6144. This structured style dress allows you to show off your feminine figure & hide those flaws Read More...
Create This Look – Crepe Gauze – Denim
Happy Monday Everyone! I just finished updating our crepe gauze inventory & eventhough its still pretty cold I felt inspired to share this dress with you. This weeks inspiration dress is called “Window Shopping Chic Dress” from ModCloth. Unfortunately ModCloth no longer has this dress. I guess it was popular.
Admittedly this is a pretty summery dress, but like I said I recently updated the gauze, so it seemed appropriate. I chose the denim crepe gauze because it is very Read More...

Create This Look – Coral & Charcoal Various Stripe Jersey/Spandex
This weeks look is perfect for all sewing levels. Especially for beginners. It is inspired by “Cheers On The Cape Dress” from ModCloth.
The pattern has several different versions, but view D seems to match the inspiration dress the best. I also think View E & F would look really cool with this fabric.
The fabric I choose is a super soft cotton jersey/spandex stripe. The stripe runs across the width of the fabric, so the stripes should be horizontal when you cut it out. I really like the combination Read More...
Create This Look – Charcoal Pinstripe Twill
Good Morning & welcome… or welcome back!! Its been quite a while, but was particularly inspired to write about the “You Could Hear A Pinstripe Dress” from ModCloth. This is a super simple shape, but they really got creative by cutting the stripe at different angles.
We have this awesome brushed cotton twill pinstripe that is perfect for this look. It is difficult to tell from the picture, but this fabric definitely has a blueish tint. It is also a Read More...
Create This Look – Cardinal Poly/Wool Plaid
Merry belated Christmas!!! I hope everyone had an amazing Christmas this year. Only a few more days left of 2015! Can you believe it?! Well this week I was inspired by the cold… & the “You Don’t Know Jackson Coat In Plaid” from ModCloth.
The fabric I chose is our Cardinal Poly/Wool Plaid. It is a lighter weight poly/wool, so if you live in a colder climate then I would recommend lining it. Fleece or even Minky would make a very Read More...
Create This Look – Brown & Espresso Cheetah Chiffon
This super cute and flowy dress is inspired by the “Stealth & Stylish Dress in Leopard” from ModCloth. They have actually taken it off of the site, so making it yourself is the only way your going to get it into your wardrobe!
The pattern I chose M6503 has many variations. I recommend View C, but there are so many options you can totally mix and match and make it completely your own.
I run across some really cool fabric, if I Read More...
Create This Look – Bridal Satin – Seafoam
Good Morning! I was inspired by the “Pine All Mine Dress In Dusty Blue” by ModCloth. When I went to check the link for this dress I was disappointed to discover that they are out of this particular color. They do still have several colors & prints in stock just not this dusty blue.
I chose one of our beautiful Bridal Satins in what I call “Seafoam.” Our Bridal Satins are made of a thicker polyester & have a nice Read More...
