Hi everybody! I recently had to organize all of my sewing things and came across SOOOO many PDFs that I had completely forgot about. Before BlueGingerDoll dropped off the face of the sewing world, I purchased the Anne top. My other forgotten top is also called Ann, that has ruching on the sides, which I received for free through signing up for Style Arc emails…3 years ago. Keep reading for additional details!
The end of the year came by so quickly, I forgot to talk about some of my favorite things I’ve made during December. Warning: Photo Heavy!
It’s been a while! I’m not the best blogger but I enjoy it, so here I am:).Quite a while ago while browsing patterns on Craftsy, I stumbled upon The Verity Dress by Moxie patterns but unfortunately I was out of the size range. Not anymore! The extended sizes are XL-8X, which is awesome because it’s a great pattern that’s easy to sew.
Hello! More pics from my vacation, this time in Canada and a new dress that is soft and comfy! We visited the Capilano Suspension Bridge, which was a bit frightening but also very beautiful.
Lately I’ve been looking for patterns that are a D cup or larger so I’ve been willing to make anything, like this dress. I don’t love it and I won’t wear it again.
This is actually the wearable muslin of the swan Odette with a dirndl skirt because I didn’t have enough fabric, of course!
I’ve been a fan of BlueGingerDoll since the release of Bonnie and Violet so I was really excited to find the Odette pattern on Craftsy’s Website. With the exception of some fitting issues, I LOVE THIS DRESS. I love it so much I have 2 more coming your way, with different changes each time.
Y’all…this pattern is most definitely a NEVER AGAIN. My face says it all. The construction to a point was really straightforward until you get to the sleeves. Holy crap. How do you even make this dress?! I’ll still wear it because I adore the print but never again.
Since I made my shirtdress, I’ve been inspired to just “go for it” and step out of my knit comfort zone. I’m so glad that I did! Introducing my $5 dress made from a thrift store bed sheet and pillowcase.
Happy Monday! For as long as I can remember, I’ve wanted to make this dress but have been too afraid of it because:
Although it’s by no means perfect, I’m SO PROUD of myself for finishing the dress in a weekend and not giving up. It was a very frustrating experience but it has inspired me to keep trying!
