Upcycle T-shirts into Dresses

Image
  I have lots of t-shirts that fit fine but aren't long enough. They are perfect for this kind of project. I even show how to use the leftover t-shirt fabric to make a pocket!  Check out my first go at this project here where I make a children's version.

Kwik Sew 2589 ~ Bias Cut Camisole

Image
  A simple camisole is a staple foundation garment. It can be worn under other tops, sweaters, with a jacket, or as part of a pajama set. This pattern includes a slip, cami, and shorts and comes with all sizes in the envelope. This is a great beginner project that doesn't require much fabric and no fasteners!

Burda 6590 Sewing up one of my favorite, fast patterns!

Image
I have made this pattern so many times! It is flattering and fast. My go-to when I want a new little top. This is a project you can make in one sitting but will be your favorite new top! I have some cute new designs in my TeeSpring shop too! Check it out!  

Mitered Corner Napkins

Napkins are a favorite handmade item I love to make for gifts. Doing a mitered corner elevates the look and quality.  

Vogue 1665 ~ One Hour Top - with simple alterations

Image
I love an interesting design. A little detail that makes a garment special. This pattern has it! Bonus points for it being a super quick and easy project. I made two tops this time, both from the same pattern. The black and gold one I have worn many times already. It just looks great and effortless to wear. I am sure as the temps drop the blue one will be a favorite too. It is just too warm to wear yet.

Simplicity 9012 Easy Breezy Dress

Image
Let's make a transitional dress (or top)! Simplicity 9012 is a loosely fitted raglan sleeve pattern with an elastic neck and sleeve at the elbow. It is soft, flowy, and easy to wear. I made the view A dress with the View B sleeve. This is another easy project but the interesting details make it look designer! I made the belt and I show it on, but I won't likely be wearing it. I think I look like a sack of potatoes tied in the middle, to quote my grandmother. :) Timestamps in the Youtube description   This is another fast and easy project, but it doesn't look like it.  Sewing With Stacy Facebook Page YouTube Channel  

New Look 6511 ~ Sew with Me

Image
This week's project was a one day sew!  This pattern is quick and easy and so cute on!  I made view C. The neckline and armscye are finished in bias. I deviated from the pattern (no surprise) by adding 5.5 inches to the hem, and by making it in knit instead of a woven.  I also added a pocket and only did the bias in the neckline. Because the fabric is knit, I was able to simply turn under the seam allowance and topstitch the underarm.  I've pretty much been living in this dress since the day I made it.  Highly recommend.
