Sunny Day to All, I think that by now, everyone has figured out that off the shoulder anything is my favorite. I don't really lift weights on anything. I just love showing off my shoulders. This is by far one of my to go patterns when trying to make something quick. I love easy patterns that can easily be attached to another pattern to make new looks. This off the shoulder look is from Simplicity 1613. I certainly can't wear this dress with sandals in Maryland right now because it is freezing. But I can wear it with some ankle boot and a scarf. I am a true summer girl but I live in Maryland so I must find easy ways to still look classy and beautiful in the winter. A midi dress is the perfect classy look. It covers enough skin so you won't be too cold walking to or from your event. I used a double knit fabric that I purchased from Gstreet fabric. Olive green is definitely a perfect color for the fall and winter. Brace yourself this 2019 Fall and Winter. I will be rotating between Midi Dresses and Jumpsuits. Enjoy these few pics that Hubby snapped, while away for my Birthday last month. About the PatternI used Simplicity 1613 for the top and self-drafted the bottom. I have used this pattern for several different looks and it never fails. It is very quick and easy to follow. For the bottom, I self-drafted it based on my measurements and added a split in the back. Happy Sewing to You and don't forget to say hello.

Sunny Day to All, I was invited to my niece's 21st birthday celebration. Happy Birthday Tati! It was a beautiful fall Sunday; cold enough to wear some boots and comfortable enough to not have to wear a jacket. I woke up around 9:30 am and thought, why not? I recently purchased a few patterns to make this fall and winter. Simplicity 9011 was definitely quick and extremely easy. I purchased this fabric from Gstreet fabrics last winter and never got to use it. It is a beautiful sweater knit animal print. It took me just about 2 hours to finish this dress. I rocked it with my skinny black belt, my black leather boots, some black tights and my Prada shades. My husband was nice enough to snap a few pictures before I stepped out. Thanks honey! Hope you guys enjoy these few pictures of this beautiful pullover dress. About the PatternSimplicity 9011 is definitely a quick make. It is only 3 pattern pieces for View A and it was very easy. I actually cut size 12 because I wanted it to be fitted and made a short version so I could rock it with some high boots. I love the original version but I had a vision. A vision that I accomplished. I loved the way the sleeves are cut together with the bodice. This is a beginner pattern. It might become one of my favorite for the winter. Quick and Beautiful!
Sunny Day to All, October 20th was my birthday. I usually party hard for my birthday. To celebrate this chapter 38 year, I chose to go away with the hubby for a nice and relaxing weekend. We went to one of our favorite peaceful location, Williamsburg Virginia. I really did not have a lot of time to sew prior to leaving so I pulled a few garments that I made previously but was never able to photograph or wear. I figured I could rock them while in Williamsburg and have hubby snap a few pictures so I could share them on the blog. The resort was beautiful. There were quite a few areas that had a perfect background for a photoshoot. I took those pictures on Saturday October 19th. I didn't want to take a chance as I know that it always rain on my birthday. Sure enough, it poured all day on Sunday for my actual birthday. I had a fantastic weekend. I rested, I had a full body massage already planned for me and enjoyed some true quality time. Ok, ok, ok... Enough about my birthday! I don't remember where I purchased this fabric. I had it for quite some time. I wasn't sure if I wanted a dress or a asymmetrical skirt with this fabric. I decided on making this simple peep hole dress. The fabric is a sweater knit fabric, so perfect for the fall. I made this pattern before as a shirt (HERE). This pattern is very simple and that front opening adds a little sexiness to the pattern. I am referring to McCall 7621. I paired this beautiful dress with a black belt, my ankle boots, my Go To Ray Ban shades and silver jewelry. Enjoy these few pictures as I felt simply beautiful. About The PatternMcCall 7621 is super easy. Just follow the directions and you will have a beautiful dress. I am 5 feet tall so if I wanted this dress to be a little sexier, I would have made it a little shorter and took a few inches in towards the bottom of the dress. I cut a medium and chose to follow the exact instructions. I love the final look. I will definitely make this dress again hopefully in a double-knit fabric. I hope you like this dress. As always, thank you so much for stopping by and don't forget to say Hello! Happy Sewing to You!
