Happy Sunday stitchers! What are your plans this weekend? We are hoping to do a bit of sewing today – yay! We’ve had a very busy week adding LOADS of patterns, so we deserve a little sewing break Spot some of the new patterns below and if you want to browse them all we recommend checking out our shop.
Sara from The Sara Project used the Panama Tee Dress by Aline Sewing + Design co. as a base and ended up creating this wonderful tiered mellow yellow frock!
We love the crisscross halter feature on this dress by Erica Bunker. She used Burda 6570 to create it and it looks absolutely gorgeous on her.
Janene aka Ooobop did such a great job drafting this dress herself so that the rather fabulous print could speak for itself. We highly recommend checking out her blog for more close-ups and photos of the back of this dress.
We are blown away by this fabulous Liberty silk Vikisews Edwige Blouse that is stitched to PERFECTION by the very talented Jo at Norfolk Daphne.
The Davenport dress by Friday Pattern Co. might just be the most perfect pattern for this time of year. Patricia at PatsyPoo Makes made her version in a Liberty Lawn and the result is dreamy!
This. Look. Is. Everything! It’s actually a faux dress and Montoya Mayo used Burda 6968 to create the top and she drafted the skirt herself. Definitely go check out her blog for more photos and background information about this beautiful print from Ghana.
This super sunny number is stitched by Amy aka Almond Rock and she used the popular Deer & Doe Myosotis Dress pattern to sew it up.
The combination of the Ashton Top and the Winslow Culottes are a match made in Helen’s Closet heaven! This outfit looks so good on Helen, we would love to give this combo a go sometime.
The second Deer & Doe Myosotis Dress in today’s round-up but how could we leave this beauty out? Fiona of Diary Of A Chainstitcher made it in a really large viscose print and we’re in love!
This Cambria Duster Coat is designed by Friday Pattern Company and stitched by Oh Sew Fearless. What a great wardrobe staple.
Rose @goldandsilverstitches stitched her first ever menswear garment for her best friend Simon. This McCall’s 6044 shirt fits him perfectly and the matched breast pocket is seriously impressive!

The Olya Shirt and Dress pattern from Paper Theory Patterns is a relaxed, loose fitting shirt with traditional details and a classic silhouette. It is also well known for its unusual and innovative style lines and we think that’s why it’s such a popular pattern in the sewing community! These pattern reviews show how amazing it looks as a dress, as well as a top – in a wide range of fabrics.
