I also paired the Tali top with a Saki skirt (not in production). I feel the outfit can be used for either going out or casual. The fabrics used can be from a wide variety of light to medium weight woven fabric. I love the front twist design, it is unique. There are no buttons to sew, and you still have a front opening at the lower blouse. I also made the elbow sleeve version.</span><p></p><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;">I first started with a size 6d graded down to 5 at the hips. The size I chose to use was a tad bit big so I went down to 5c and graded down to 4 at hips, a much better fit. Sewing a muslin first, makes such a big difference on how your fit will turn out, with and if adjustments are needed. I am looking forward to sewing up a boho style Tali with a looser and longer fit, using more of a rayon challis fabric.</span></p><p style="text-align: center;"><br /></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgyrzcsEkAxWUiC_ffTXUvnyO0WyA_yy5sqQhb1X9lekM6I0ohbD32cOKzb0WFHReZWtGJpRzDTHwD7aEqf5Bg58OcdZWvqaqxFdmQm1SVEZYcXciJkxQRkMS2VOzBUO-IAFUbGU27PjpluwVBPCwcBBtp2zHwg33_cJtr2OqWtjheg_EM_yGlwagOI1YU/s3141/2.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3141" data-original-width="2293" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgyrzcsEkAxWUiC_ffTXUvnyO0WyA_yy5sqQhb1X9lekM6I0ohbD32cOKzb0WFHReZWtGJpRzDTHwD7aEqf5Bg58OcdZWvqaqxFdmQm1SVEZYcXciJkxQRkMS2VOzBUO-IAFUbGU27PjpluwVBPCwcBBtp2zHwg33_cJtr2OqWtjheg_EM_yGlwagOI1YU/w468-h640/2.jpg" width="468" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgig0eJOdWdtXpd3XRHj1_DJtHDuUfSEidukn4HhOjomhQxKZ9Jl98Ro9j5vveF-_68RPwYQGrBxj6a9Zp-k0XhupW_RVj2rCNeJY6ab9m0S-OVgFGhnrK3srXDfMSw7Kfg32zsm9-LAd7cGXjr8Nb5NzeX4v6HunIL3VzC9WOOmxAfQ03I4MxNdahjox4/s3598/3.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3598" data-original-width="2474" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgig0eJOdWdtXpd3XRHj1_DJtHDuUfSEidukn4HhOjomhQxKZ9Jl98Ro9j5vveF-_68RPwYQGrBxj6a9Zp-k0XhupW_RVj2rCNeJY6ab9m0S-OVgFGhnrK3srXDfMSw7Kfg32zsm9-LAd7cGXjr8Nb5NzeX4v6HunIL3VzC9WOOmxAfQ03I4MxNdahjox4/w440-h640/3.jpg" width="440" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgfBvRiRYBwM-WZ3uNXmGj0qgvGASU4ZIWGU5ZWuatKx5h-RlrJNz5cExZPgCDVroDxLsQP5u5qfnlpVbePAQQfx6f6t7DsZnoUqjnqSWNiygyI1Qj0fXMgRCgPYqTmybzpasO_saumjzkFbvtph60KVkGSOMeB4PEjfLV8Uiv2iTtDCa49-QiICB_BeGw/s3702/4.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3702" data-original-width="2429" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgfBvRiRYBwM-WZ3uNXmGj0qgvGASU4ZIWGU5ZWuatKx5h-RlrJNz5cExZPgCDVroDxLsQP5u5qfnlpVbePAQQfx6f6t7DsZnoUqjnqSWNiygyI1Qj0fXMgRCgPYqTmybzpasO_saumjzkFbvtph60KVkGSOMeB4PEjfLV8Uiv2iTtDCa49-QiICB_BeGw/w420-h640/4.jpg" width="420" /></a></div><br /><span style="font-size: large;">Satin fabric is a bit difficult to sew with, especially because it does fray a bit.

Tip: dip a corner of your main fabric to tea dye to see if it's the color you are looking for. </b></span><p></p><p style="text-align: center;"></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; font-size: x-large; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjxGm8qaxnvlFDLVJMFpyaoC12vatZKHJxsIjs3VHJRPTeWgaAG0_bts3QybiSDSetro3uDlXDMcJTzv3sgtjgeK6a6CUcGF0NhXMWm5I5yNBMZUeMJazakkTnH0otUVC-epX5IjqM7PiuHK5elKLYgbQ6rgaqC2ywECq69TzMbUwMzOl21N_FMs5dN/s3601/5.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3601" data-original-width="3102" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjxGm8qaxnvlFDLVJMFpyaoC12vatZKHJxsIjs3VHJRPTeWgaAG0_bts3QybiSDSetro3uDlXDMcJTzv3sgtjgeK6a6CUcGF0NhXMWm5I5yNBMZUeMJazakkTnH0otUVC-epX5IjqM7PiuHK5elKLYgbQ6rgaqC2ywECq69TzMbUwMzOl21N_FMs5dN/w552-h640/5.jpg" width="552" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; font-size: x-large; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgIj8V32mGBv49htjhVSDGEyMSpvXtACwR8yuq4enrN7boInjYbDQngoABsJ37ATpoL6tEgw7OENJZRMZLTXC3lapNv4XqAy-GhkUanXfkohjhNJRyAtxfExq_VDBCMxgm1cBhLmQ103_b6sOjmSRVI57SNE5rVfDxSFkhtcMxIfZKML3YjCZfSYQGL/s3613/6.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3613" data-original-width="3059" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgIj8V32mGBv49htjhVSDGEyMSpvXtACwR8yuq4enrN7boInjYbDQngoABsJ37ATpoL6tEgw7OENJZRMZLTXC3lapNv4XqAy-GhkUanXfkohjhNJRyAtxfExq_VDBCMxgm1cBhLmQ103_b6sOjmSRVI57SNE5rVfDxSFkhtcMxIfZKML3YjCZfSYQGL/w542-h640/6.jpg" width="542" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; font-size: x-large; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjEyq4yFcF6Bjmz1aC86hIiWGRlsA4ZIRuynRw1Ajs5lDiJlUal-x6t7MIE1dxOVWo_fURErPKjutA3XbGHRIbiGH9igyg7EdDmganiqHQiBGuw5QVMsQkaxg6J0QMwUgDUkAU8e4dzoK6Jf9BfOILYhXFBrTRLg6bqcdyY1ehy-8gTT2MUpwdwpbB-/s3713/7.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3713" data-original-width="2905" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjEyq4yFcF6Bjmz1aC86hIiWGRlsA4ZIRuynRw1Ajs5lDiJlUal-x6t7MIE1dxOVWo_fURErPKjutA3XbGHRIbiGH9igyg7EdDmganiqHQiBGuw5QVMsQkaxg6J0QMwUgDUkAU8e4dzoK6Jf9BfOILYhXFBrTRLg6bqcdyY1ehy-8gTT2MUpwdwpbB-/w500-h640/7.jpg" width="500" /></a></div><p style="font-size: x-large; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;">My last Peta garment is a dress. I love this dress, I made it for an evening out. I had this chiffon fabric with specks of silver foil all around, for the longest time, The Peta was the perfect use for this fabric. As with chiffon fabric, French seaming is a must, which takes a bit of time and patience. I kept my Peta dress below the knee length so that when I wear it with a thin belt, it will hit at knee level. Now to wait for an evening out.</span></p><p style="text-align: center;"></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; font-size: x-large; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhseDTKJiDRaQgu81aSAbQduneUkk3INk6KML0XEbpC6UWBUgsJhOFxqOSfO4pjBuHfIdegtAc3YCOsJNEMi0-P0nAVk4fKCHszBkpupDwH-JLg3lcBrpnezrQBxql_W7-ilQWKxoT9yNAdj_EQiKcgiCVylBoxrqoYzqNmAulKIAA6aZ13h22eIZPQ/s3646/8.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3646" data-original-width="3099" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhseDTKJiDRaQgu81aSAbQduneUkk3INk6KML0XEbpC6UWBUgsJhOFxqOSfO4pjBuHfIdegtAc3YCOsJNEMi0-P0nAVk4fKCHszBkpupDwH-JLg3lcBrpnezrQBxql_W7-ilQWKxoT9yNAdj_EQiKcgiCVylBoxrqoYzqNmAulKIAA6aZ13h22eIZPQ/w544-h640/8.jpg" width="544" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; font-size: x-large; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjgA39SZe0Pm6eEP7KxebPNp5HhyJme3zcSCVIrpVa8QcL8cAT2iMmiRYjR_g6Is8xYA8rUqvhsWpqu8WA82UZMf6eX6y0YaizWBJc53rL8S-yAHoE4zOIEBU6CisXBGKYB8E9YXvxUkSmO0yJNM7UzN9zymbrIwm0w0S4nInOoWqNeXoR3Jr_0OzVt/s3617/9.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3617" data-original-width="2927" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjgA39SZe0Pm6eEP7KxebPNp5HhyJme3zcSCVIrpVa8QcL8cAT2iMmiRYjR_g6Is8xYA8rUqvhsWpqu8WA82UZMf6eX6y0YaizWBJc53rL8S-yAHoE4zOIEBU6CisXBGKYB8E9YXvxUkSmO0yJNM7UzN9zymbrIwm0w0S4nInOoWqNeXoR3Jr_0OzVt/w518-h640/9.jpg" width="518" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; font-size: x-large; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEixRyG_sDXQ6p2KKyNLriF5OVJ6ucHbeBpuEDeZJl7shOioVt5h9lD_B0W5k2QEe4lItwnLMg8_SuQlr9k1KWSozd5VztntVJepFoXp1nbbR_w1Tv8UVcyDEkR5gxtPxqGasB4KdQsn0BmK4ElcDjtlZwwUpV5J92w-W4Q0hiB_S61XcaC4jeebqXlq/s3706/10.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3706" data-original-width="2921" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEixRyG_sDXQ6p2KKyNLriF5OVJ6ucHbeBpuEDeZJl7shOioVt5h9lD_B0W5k2QEe4lItwnLMg8_SuQlr9k1KWSozd5VztntVJepFoXp1nbbR_w1Tv8UVcyDEkR5gxtPxqGasB4KdQsn0BmK4ElcDjtlZwwUpV5J92w-W4Q0hiB_S61XcaC4jeebqXlq/w504-h640/10.jpg" width="504" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; font-size: x-large; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgCU_WgHE03NLewJJBTpN0qEqh2toeeltUk6-4Xc5PzJeo5LuOcrpZq64VTOkKpYDIuNXsFPF7Ai7Q4Qj3miS9Dw-uV1H8cOcMgKXtjRDH7xxoQNNhUyVKS04Wknv6xbxSuceInNijX_UEQQP9_HarWcKco0Kmo6i6AVaOq4CfjK2Yq3oUvWj3uaE23/s3747/13.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3747" data-original-width="3105" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgCU_WgHE03NLewJJBTpN0qEqh2toeeltUk6-4Xc5PzJeo5LuOcrpZq64VTOkKpYDIuNXsFPF7Ai7Q4Qj3miS9Dw-uV1H8cOcMgKXtjRDH7xxoQNNhUyVKS04Wknv6xbxSuceInNijX_UEQQP9_HarWcKco0Kmo6i6AVaOq4CfjK2Yq3oUvWj3uaE23/w530-h640/13.jpg" width="530" /></a></div><br /><span style="font-size: large;">Overall, I am very pleased with the Peta design, very easy to sew, easy to wear, no fussing when wearing, and can be made for any occasion.

For my hat I used the same stretch woven fabric from the Pace skirt. The interfacing kept my hat from stretching. I also used black binding for an accent. I used double fold binding with a 1/8" cord in-between to turn it into the black hat trim (it's what I had at the time and it worked), and sewed it into the seam, I like the accent touch. For this hat I used the tall crown option. My hat fits true to the Nantucket sizing pattern.</span></span></p><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="text-align: left;"></span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="text-align: left;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEibCL45V1la-SEV16EcTvf12nJfpEIY0_0XeIog0PgUtkNCX4m9aZJ_2ZilcniB2VgDAn3rH8BMtMC3l36UFCvZLVxufhc-hwhXGIom7w6mDuqGmarT-XX6OW0bXqJCSkRt8Zx1JbhM8E4/s2048/1.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2048" data-original-width="1509" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEibCL45V1la-SEV16EcTvf12nJfpEIY0_0XeIog0PgUtkNCX4m9aZJ_2ZilcniB2VgDAn3rH8BMtMC3l36UFCvZLVxufhc-hwhXGIom7w6mDuqGmarT-XX6OW0bXqJCSkRt8Zx1JbhM8E4/w472-h640/1.jpg" width="472" /></a></span></div><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="text-align: left;"><span style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">For the Solo tank and the Embrace bra, I used the same Yoga fabric from GS.

The skirt has a pleated back skirt and a flat front. I hacked my Pace skirt, I used two front pattern pieces. I did add back darts on the skirt. I used the high rise waistband for front and back of the skirt. I followed the pattern instructions to complete my skirt. For the side slits, I used fold over elastic as my trim on the side slits and the hem as I wanted to match the trim on the Nantucket hat. I am 5' 3 1/2" tall, normally I would have shortened the skirt, but I left it at it's original pattern length, I wanted a knee length for my skirt. For the short I used the optional crotch gusset, I love the comfort of using this small detail for my stretch shorts. I used the interfacing for my waistband and did not have any problems slipping my skirt on, the waistband stretched as it should with the stretch woven fabric.</span></span></p><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: large;">I can't live without lip gloss, the Pace short has a much needed pocket just for my lip gloss.</span></span></p><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="text-align: left;"></span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="text-align: left;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi0oP0f80ergSuvbx7mB47awgf_5qQRHGBIGYOUU1XeCSkHyrA-LJxQL_aH_QLOh_UKsbgGvS9TD5IFb7slFLlUJfEZGAoINBH0jAiGmLH_-rukQaOTYnq5tqZjc70cYRQfiJSa7oYm1Gw/s2048/2.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2048" data-original-width="1647" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi0oP0f80ergSuvbx7mB47awgf_5qQRHGBIGYOUU1XeCSkHyrA-LJxQL_aH_QLOh_UKsbgGvS9TD5IFb7slFLlUJfEZGAoINBH0jAiGmLH_-rukQaOTYnq5tqZjc70cYRQfiJSa7oYm1Gw/w514-h640/2.jpg" width="514" /></a></span></div><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="text-align: left;"><span style="text-align: left;"><br /></span></span></p><span style="text-align: left;"><br /><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></span><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiN5sFTXkqfT2vLk0gAJVmsvjTGvZ6DC4tKjyKRqmDHt7wKrq41XqEunTw8k5dmaSVBxivS3ZS4pxUOV5zGTr9qhuwio3kWwqxZEUqi7erShLpyO2DxedVyOG5QWY8lapw5n48mxnKcJF8/s1717/IMG_7402.png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1551" data-original-width="1717" height="578" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiN5sFTXkqfT2vLk0gAJVmsvjTGvZ6DC4tKjyKRqmDHt7wKrq41XqEunTw8k5dmaSVBxivS3ZS4pxUOV5zGTr9qhuwio3kWwqxZEUqi7erShLpyO2DxedVyOG5QWY8lapw5n48mxnKcJF8/w640-h578/IMG_7402.png" width="640" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiHFfQIirCU7VUDhRgAU7djK1CigAE-5OqlzvFb5vHsK7GmZCVyQBtHr51YDJcMNXxQ-PegrQj0mKkaK6wCWCi9asUprYm4gq7KVBRdAfdgOYwXTuiGwvPOzyQDD7vimr3LkhWCdglP-sU/s2048/IMG_7398.png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2048" data-original-width="1634" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiHFfQIirCU7VUDhRgAU7djK1CigAE-5OqlzvFb5vHsK7GmZCVyQBtHr51YDJcMNXxQ-PegrQj0mKkaK6wCWCi9asUprYm4gq7KVBRdAfdgOYwXTuiGwvPOzyQDD7vimr3LkhWCdglP-sU/w510-h640/IMG_7398.png" width="510" /></a></div><p style="text-align: center;"><br /></p><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;"><b>Overall I love my new mini capsule.

I have been missing dancing Salsa, ever since Covid-19, I haven't been out dancing.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">When I saw the Lana dress design, I knew I had to test it and sew one up. What I didn't realize, how special I would feel in this dress.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">I made the version with the peplum. I used a light weight scuba knit fabric. I chose this fabric for the print, color, degree of stretch and firmness. The only drawback to this fabric, the wrong side of fabric was white so I had to add a light lining to the peplum. I did sew up a muslin first to get the proper fit. While I didn't add straps, which is an option in the design, I will add clear straps.</span></p><br /><span><span style="font-size: large;">This is the perfect dress for any occasion and Holidays.

<b><span style="font-size: x-large;">I participated in the Road Test for the Paige skirt. Paige skirt is designed for woven fabrics. For the grey skirt, I used a lightweight denim fabric for my muslin. After 3 tries at adjusting my muslin, I am very happy with the end fit. I will be using a grey skirt as an everyday skirt. I paired my skirt with the Weekday Kat top (also from DS) but in a knit version, which I sized down for.</span></b></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">I was hesitant to sewing a color-blocked dress. But, when Madison came out for testing, I knew I had to challenge myself and I am so happy with the results.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I sewed up my Madison version with the straight skirt option, 3/4 sleeves, and with the back exposed zipper. First time with color-blocking a dress and sewing with an exposed zipper. I used Ponte De Roma fabric. I found that a stable knit fabric works best with the color-blocking with the Madison.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;">A few tips I found very helpful for me in the fitting, is to sew a muslin first. I needed to sew my dress at least a few times before I was satisfied with the overall fit. So there was a lot of un-picking, especially once the exposed zipper was set in. While I love the exposed zipper, for my next Madison I will make one without the zipper option using the circle skirt option.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;"><b>I am loving the Camilia dress. I enjoyed sewing this dress so I made 3 because I know they will be used often. While the design is the same, each of my 3 dresses are intended for a different purpose and made from 3 different fabric types. I love the way the Camilia hugs your body, giving any body type a figure flattering look. Comes in two dress lengths and 3 sleeves lengths.</b></span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;"><b>My favorite Camilia dress is the first one I made in Red. I chose red because I had Holidays in mind for this upcoming season. The fabric I chose was in my fabric stash. It is a medium weight stretch fabric, it shines, and shows the front pleats very well. I made the 3/4" sleeve length and just past the knee.</b></span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;"><b>Dress #3 is more of a casual wear dress. I made dress #3 out of a medium weight jersey type fabric with great stretch and recovery. The key to having the pleats not droop, great recovery from whatever type of stretch fabric is used. I love how this dress feels on, very comfortable and figure flattering. I made the long sleeve version and comes just below the knee. This dress can be casual or dressy.</b></span></div>

<b><i><span style="font-size: large;">I love to wear skirts but don't wear them often. I really enjoyed sewing up the Allie skirt with its many options. Shown above Is the grommet and leather tie-wrap version. I made this one out of lightweight denim and I paired it with the Eleni top with flared sleeves, also from Designer Stitch.</span></i></b></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<b><i><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></i></b></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<b><i><span style="font-size: large;">As with any other Designer Stitch design, sewing up a muslin for a proper fit is highly recommended, which I need to do myself. A tip for adding the grommets, strips of iron-on interfacing where the grommets will be placed is also a must to help stabilize the grommets and prevent the fabric from weakening.</span></i></b></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<b><i><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></i></b></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<b><i><span style="font-size: large;">I styled my Allie skirt both tucked in and tucked out for a more casual/Bohemian look. The Allie skirt can be dressed up or down.</span></i></b></div>

<div style="text-align: left;">
<b><span style="font-size: x-large;">This is a brief tutorial on how I created the Slouchy Sweater hack from the Scarlet Swing dress.</span></b></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<b><span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span></b></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<b><span style="font-size: x-large;">#1 if you don't own the Scarlet Swing dress, you can purchase here,</span></b></div>

<div style="text-align: left;">
<b><span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span></b></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<b><span style="font-size: x-large;">#2 For fabric I used a lightweight sweater knit fabric, lightweight gave it more of a slouchy look. I used a fabric with a small fringe on the selvages. The fabric was purchased at Walmart last year. You don't need your sweater knit with fringe.</span></b></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">

<b><span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span></b>
<b><span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span></b></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<b><span style="font-size: x-large;">#3 Once you have printed your pattern, choose the length you want your sweater to be. Cut the back to your desired length, but for the front pattern piece, you'll cut it approx 8.5" longer than the back. I like my sweater to be just passed my bum, especially when wearing leggings.</span></b></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<b><span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span></b></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<b><span style="font-size: x-large;">#4 Once you have cut your back pattern the length you desire, set it aside as nothing further will be done for the hack. Take your front piece, which will be approx 8.5" longer than the back, place the front and back pattern pieces with the underarm seams together, mark the front even with the back, set aside the back piece. </span></b><br />

<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<b><span style="font-size: x-large;">#5 For the front hack, where you placed your mark at the side seam, place another mark approx 7" across the front piece, and draw a straight line. Begin to cut the front pattern, cut straight across from side seam to the 7" mark, then begin to cut at a semi-circle, continue to cut towards the end length, leaving 1/2" wide which is for the 1/4" front seam on either side for ties. Now measure 12" from the front centerfold and make a notch, this is where you will cut on the fold. Cut the centerfold up to the 12" mark, you have now created your front ties.</span></b></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">I was very happy to be a part of the Remi Roadtest. Here where I live, it has been very hot. So, the Remi design came at a great time for summer wear. I was happy to sew up the Remi in the midi length version in rayon fabric. I also made extra straps and crisscrossed them. Because the Remi is with thin straps, you'd probably want to wear a strapless bra. Or you can customize your Remi for wider straps to cover the bra straps.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">During the testing phase of the Remi, I sewed the tunic version and experimented by hacking the original Remi and making a v-neck. I </span><span style="font-size: large;">made the black v-neck Remi out of a peach skin fabric, feels very soft.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"> I could explain briefly how I hacked for the v-neck. For my v-neck Remi, from the front bodice pattern, top edge, I measured from the centerfold, approximately 5" down and marked. I then began to cut the pattern at an angle starting at the mark I placed, slightly curving so that it's not a complete straight angle, cutting until I reached the top edge by the shoulder/neck edge, making sure to leave a 5/8" seam allowance at the top neck edge. I also adjusted the pattern front-facing, I adjusted to match the v-neck front. I then followed the pattern instructions to complete my Remi. The pic below shows a closer look at the v-neck.</span><br />

<b><span style="font-size: large;">I decided to sew up an outfit that could transition from Summer to Fall. For my outfit I used the Staple Tank and the Inspire Tights for a Summer look. I used the binding method for the neck and arms, and added 1 1/2" to the length to cover my back side when I wear leggings or tights. I can't say enough about how much I truly enjoyed the fit and style of the Staple Tank. I have made many tanks, this one is the most comfortable to wear.</span></b><br />

<b><span style="font-size: large;">I am not knocking legging or tights out there, but the Inspire tights were such an easy sew and great fit. I didn't </span></b><b><span style="font-size: large;">have to shorten the length of the pattern in anyway, I did do my usual grading to fit. </span></b><b><span style="font-size: large;">The one thing I did do to the Inspire tights, because I love a higher waist band, I hacked the Inspires with the waist band from the Chelsea pants, I just love the fit and comfort of this waist band, I feel I get a little belly support too. I also added the optional gusset, so comfortable to have. </span></b><b><span style="font-size: large;">This was the first time sewing up the Inspires, even though I have owned the pattern for years. I am so glad I did because I now have a great pair of tights/leggings pattern to use over and over. I only wish I could remember the fabric I used or where I purchased it. </span></b><br />

The beauty of testing, gets one to step outside the box. I sewed up the racer back Callie with back pockets and one bodice pocket. I chose the racer back for a more modern/edgy look. I decided to use a light weight denim fabric, I used bronzed colored rivets, and connectors for the straps. The Callie is not a fast sew, you must sew a muslin first, a must. Also, sew your top stitching very slow, it won't be perfect, but one must strive for it for a nice finished look, and iron...iron...iron, as you go, to avoid a home made look. I wore my Callie out and was asked where did I purchase it, my friend really liked the final look and fit.

<b><span style="font-size: large;">I then decided I wanted a going out for dancing, salsa top version. I made this top out of stretch velvet, shown below. I also couldn't find a 3" round belt glide that matched, so I made one. I had a black plastic 3" round belt glide in my sewing box, I rubbed it against the cement outside to rough it up, and began to glue rhinestones that I had in my sewing box. Very happy with the fit results.</span></b></div>

I had this striped fabric that I just wasn't sure how I would use it, until the pencil skirt add on was created by the designer. I love how it turned out.

<b><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></b></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>My most recent bag I created, was the "Goddess of the Sea Shoulder bag". When I first saw the prototype, I knew I wanted to sew this bag up. It was the right size, had a wide opening, and I really liked the uniqueness of the side gusset zippered pockets. Not to mention the unique strap and how it was designed, with metal rings and rivets.</b></span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;"><b><br /></b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>I made my Goddess of the Sea Bag, using a decor tapestry/chenille fabric. I have always wanted a bag made with this type of fabric, giving it a vintage look, and this was the perfect bag for my hoarded fabric. I found this fabric while visiting my son in Arizona. </b></span></div>

<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>I am not going to say this bag is a fast sew, it is not. Time is needed to find the right fabrics, hardware, printing the pattern, and cutting your fabrics out. Following the instructions step by step is a must with this bag, no skipping steps. The end result, was well worth the time and effort I put into it. I added an inside zippered pocket, (not in the instructions) to my bag, as well as the included instructions for the double slip pockets, and the side-zippered-gusset-pockets.</b></span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I love Cardigans, don't feel as if I have enough of them. I have been wanting to sew up a long version of the Sunday cardigan by Greenstyle. I waited until I felt I had the right fabric and right fabric weight because I wanted this cardigan to last for a while.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Once I found the fabric, a medium weight ponte knit with 4 way stretch, great weight, decided to sew the Sunday Cardi with this fabric. As it turned out, I didn't have enough fabric for the sleeves. Since the Sunday cardi comes in a sleeveless version, I decided to go with that. I also used the front patch pockets version. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I matched my cardi with a new Studio to Street top, also from Greenstyle, and I made a self drafted skirt. I was looking for a style that would utilize the paisley/flowered liverpool fabric, the black and white striped scuba, and the black ponte for the cardi. I also used a modal french terry for the sleeves of the Studio to Street top. I am very pleased with my overall look, it's different, it's me.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I found the instructions to both the Sunday Carigan and the Studio to Street top to be very simple and easy to follow. Since I am 5' 3 1/2" tall, I did remove 3" from the longest version for the Sunday cardi.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;"><b>He picked out his fabric, which is a Luxe Fleece, a little heavier than regular fleece. The jacket has raglan sleeves, folded collar, has two side invisible zippered pockets, an inside hidden zippered pocket, and comes with an optional hood. He was very happy with his new fleece jacket, didn't want to take it off, lol. I will admit, matching the plaids took a bit of time. </b></span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;"><b>I wanted my Sybil Robe to be more than just a house robe, I wanted it to be used for outings too, like today. I can't say enough how much fun I had and how free I felt in taking pictures in the rain.</b></span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;"><b>The Sybil robe comes in two versions, I made version B with the side ties. I also added a few inches to the length. The pattern fit was right on with no other adjustments made. The fabric I used is a light weight cotton lycra fabric. I also used pink ribbon ties, I am such a pink and black colors, lady.</b></span></div>

<b><span style="font-size: large;">I enjoyed wearing my long black Lillie dress, from Greenstyle. I was in need of a black dress and chose to use the Lillie. I also made the self bra option that comes with the pattern. I used a good weight cotton lycra fabric. The lillie is a fast sew with simple instructions, also comes in the top version.</span></b></div>
