Hi, I love the July top. Very nice design idea. Abbey Sews
ReplyDeleteThank you! It was inspired by a RTW top, and it still needs some tweaking, but I enjoy wearing it!
DeleteWow, there's lots of beautiful makes here, each of which certainly deserves more info (and pictures) 😊
ReplyDeleteI love that funnel neck dress especially
That dress is actually really comfy! It's a thick, textured knit fabric and the pattern has some thoughtful details (like back neck darts and elbow darts!). Was a bit of a pain to fit, though!
DeleteAll nice. Sky son Greg works at Quince. Hope you had a great meal for your birthday!
ReplyDeleteWe absolutely LOVED our meal at Quince. What does Greg do there?

ReplyDeleteI thought I had responded to this! We had the BEST meal at Quince. Seriously, we both felt like it was more interesting, inventive, and tasty than even the French Laundry (tell Greg that--he'll be happy!) We'll be going back!
DeleteYour self drafted top is absolutely gorgeous! And I love the funnel neck dress!!
ReplyDeleteThank you! I'm really pleased with the funnel neck dress, too! It's surprisingly comfortable!
DeleteYou and me both, sista. I sewed a lot less and what I did sew didn't make it to the blog nearly as often. But honestly, i do want to see more of that funnel neck dress! Love it all but especially that.
ReplyDeleteOh man, I may have to do a full post on that one. It certainly deserves it! I've been loving vintage patterns, and this one has all my favorite things (elbow darts! back neck darts!).
DeleteI love this fabric! Excellent blog! You explained it well and the pictures are great....thanks for sharing!
