Got this fabric from New York City back in 2009 after dragging my husband into hidden fabric stores found through various blogs of the era. Love how it turned out using Closet Core Pauline pattern!! Also goes well with the sweater my Mom knit me!

Not enough to make anything in satin ever again, but enough to wear it over and over.
Pattern: Elodie by Closet Core

YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS
THE SWISH. THE DRAPE. THE
HEM IS A LIL WONKY BUT THAT'S COOL.

An upturned and pinned hemline in blue floral print under a sewing machine needle.
On the final stages now for my #ClosetCorePatterns Elodie wrap dress. I've let it hang to relax for a day, pinned the hem and now it's time to get stitching.
Hopefully it's not too wonky. Solo hemming you own stuff is tricky.

A wrap dress with dolmen sleeves and a full length skirt in blue floral print fabric, on a hanger against a mirror.
The waistband is on and so is the skirt! I'm excited. It's so swishy and floaty.
Still to do, I need to hand sew the waistband facing and hem the bottom of the skirts
Good enough for today though

Bodice part of a wrap over dress with dolmen sleeves, separated from the skirt. The fabric is a blue floral print.
Long skirt in blue floral print fabric, not yet attached to the bodice part of the dress, it's hard to tell in the picture but it's got pockets!
Back on my BS for #MarchThroughYourStash with my #ClosetCorePatterns Elodie Wrap Dress. I've made the bodice and the skirt, and today I'm working on the waist belt.

Image is of a sewing pattern being projected on to a gridded cutting mat. With a piece of paper on the mat to show the sewing pattern projection better.
Operation no more taping bits of paper together for my sewing projects has begun! Some more calibration is needed, but yes! my projector will work to project my pdf patterns onto my fabric. Pattern from #ClosetCorePatterns . Free web app PatternProjector.com (I will buy them a coffee!) #Sewing
You should learn to sew! I always have issues with pants- fit in the hips, giant in the waist. Or vice versa. Many independent pattern makers have very inclusive sizing. I have even made jeans. Look at #Closetcorepatterns for a start.
One size down in the free dog coat pattern from #closetcorepatterns fits Ripley a lot better with room to grow though I don’t think she was too sure about it. Now to add the Velcro! #sewing
Quick and dirty test version of the #closetcorepatterns dog coat for my 12 1/2 week old Lagotto puppy Ripley. Needless to say it’s too big right now but hopefully it will fit for the coming spring rain season. Beaver printed softshell because #canada
