DIY Button Front Dress — A review of the Belle Dress by StyleArc

This dress has been a long time in the making and I couldn’t be more pleased with how it turned out. I first started planning this dress in 2022 but then got sidetracked with other projects. But, I still had the vision of this dress in my mind and I particularly wanted to take it with me on my trip to France last month and the deadline combined with that vision gave me the push I needed to finally sew it up. (Maybe there's a benefit to last minute travel sewing, afterall? ;)

Hello sew-friends! This jumpsuit is the SECOND time I've used the Rowena Jumpsuit pattern by Victory Patterns. Using a pattern more than once is a very good sign that it's an awesome pattern. I loved my first Rowena Jumpsuit (blogged here) so when found yards and yards of this fabric, I couldn't resist making it again.

DIY Gathered Yoke Blouse — A review of the Aims pattern by Seamwork

Hello friends! Today I'm happy to (finally) share a blouse that I made a few months ago. I think I actually started it in December of 2022 and then finished it up around late January or early February. All that is to say that I took my time with this make. The fabric is sheer and rather delicate so I decided to enclose all the seams and to use French seams throughout. I'm really glad that I took the extra time to enclose the seams and I love the blouse. It's already gotten quite a few wears over the past few months. So, let's dive in for all the details.
