color: #202124;">swayback is basically that curve in the small of your back and it causes the fabric to pool or sit in that curved area. This shape may be due to posture or just be naturally how you are shaped.</span></span></p><p><span style="background-color: white; color: #202124;"><span style="font-family: arial;">This sometimes causes your clothing not to sit nicely and results in the fabric pooling or folding in the small of your back. </span></span></p><p><span style="background-color: white; color: #202124; font-size: 16px;"><span style="font-family: arial;">For this reason, I tend to always add a centre back seam to dresses and tops that do not already have one so that I can perfect the fit to my body. </span></span></p><p><span style="background-color: white; color: #202124; font-size: 16px;"><span style="font-family: arial;">Sometimes the dress already has a centre back seam and I still need to curve that seam a bit more to get a proper fit. </span></span></p><p><span style="background-color: white; color: #202124; font-family: arial;">This pattern adjustment is quite simple and you will be happy with the outcome. </span></p><p><span style="color: #202124; font-family: arial;"><span style="background-color: white;"><b>METHODS OF ADJUSTING FOR SWAYBACK :</b></span></span></p><p><span style="color: #202124; font-family: arial;"><span style="background-color: white;">Method 1: You can sew up a muslin and then pinch out the extra fabric and measure it to see how much your adjustment needs to be.

Techniques that a few years ago, I dreaded doing or had no idea what they were. Techniques that I kept doing wrong each time I tried them. The good thing is that I kept trying them anyway. And, it is by practicing, that I began to see how much my sewing has improved over the years. </span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><span style="font-family: arial;"><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="background: rgb(255, 255, 255); color: #050505; letter-spacing: 0pt;">Here is a list of some of the sewing techniques that I came across in the Vivace. </span>Now, this list is not to scare you away from sewing up the Vivace, I am actually encouraging you to try it! If you are new to sewing or afraid of woven patterns, afraid of your serger, afraid of messing up. I want you to take a step and try and learn something new. It does not even have to be this pattern, but a pattern you looked at and mentally decided that it was too hard.

I still do, but realize it is not a step I can keep skipping if I want my garment to look great! Strangely enough, I enjoy understitching and sewing curves, those techniques feel like fun to me. </span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: arial;"><b><u>ENJOY THE ART OF SEWING</u></b></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: arial;">Sewing is a beautiful art, nobody is paying you to do it, you are making this garment on your terms and your own time. </span><span style="font-family: arial;">That kind of liberation feels good, doesn't it?</span><span style="font-family: arial;"> </span><span style="font-family: arial;"> That is exactly how I felt when I cut out this pattern this week! </span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: arial;">Sewing patterns cannot tell you every single thing, well-written patterns try, but at times, especially if you veer off the road of following instructions, you will have to make some decisions on your own. At times, these detours end up at happy places, other times they do not. When making the Vivace, the first thing I did was steer away from fabrics that I would normally sew. I decided on making the woven version and so knits that I have found so much comfort in sewing, were now out of the question. </span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: arial;">Also, I decided not to use the cotton fabrics I had on hand, since they did not have the required drape this pattern needed. The pattern instructions suggested rayon, crepe, tencel and silk. <span style="background-color: white; color: #050505;">This easy-fitting pattern would look gorgeous in any lightweight fabric I thought, s</span>o this time I decided to try a<a href="https://www.minerva.com/mp/1273137/minerva-exclusive-animal-song-viscose-challis-fabric" target="_blank"> </a></span><span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Arimo, Arial; letter-spacing: 0.2px; text-align: start;"><a href="https://www.minerva.com/mp/1273137/minerva-exclusive-animal-song-viscose-challis-fabric" target="_blank">Minerva Exclusive Animal Song Viscose Challis Fabric</a>.</span><span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Arimo, Arial; font-size: 18px; letter-spacing: 0.2px; text-align: start;"> </span><span style="font-family: arial;"> The description said this fabric is made from wood pulp and more breathable than cotton. That was a definite motivator for me in this warm weather. I also loved the animal print design and thought it would look great on the Vivace which when you look at the design lines, comes across as a </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #050505; font-family: arial;">comfortable and timeless pattern to wear. </span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #333333; font-family: arial;"><span style="background-color: white;"><b><u>PERSONAL PATTERN ADJUSTMENTS </u></b></span></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: arial;"><span style="background-color: white; color: #050505;">I am really a dress girl, but somehow I felt like making a top this time around. I always felt tunics made me look too short and so shied away from those lengths. Instead, I </span> choose to lengthen the top version by 2" because <span style="background-color: white; color: #050505; letter-spacing: 0pt;"> I wanted to be sure that If I wore it to work and stretched to reach higher shelves, I would have enough length to cover my waist. </span></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: arial;"><b><u>PERSONAL BENEFITS OF THE VIVACE</u></b></span></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="background-color: white; color: #050505; letter-spacing: 0pt; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: arial;">Some of the best features I see with this pattern are : </span></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="background-color: white; color: #050505; font-family: arial; letter-spacing: 0pt;">- It's loose fitting and therefore perfect for warmer weather wear.</span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: arial;"><span style="background-color: white; color: #050505; letter-spacing: 0pt;">- Easy pattern </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #050505; letter-spacing: 0pt;">to dress up or down.

To construct the rest of the pattern, you will need to watch the <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JIy2EA_V8bs" target="_blank">Youtube video. </a>You will also need to watch the video tutorial to figure out the different lines on the pattern as the pattern pieces have unique shapes. </p><p>Once I have my pattern pieces cut out, I went ahead and labeled the pattern pieces according to the video instructions. Do not skip this step as it will make sewing much easier. Be sure that at each step your garment is looking the same way as per the video images. Be sure to cut all pattern pieces right sides up. </p><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh3uHK3FCkxvYm-cMImULbQEP5fjb7T1rbhQQo0H0EJhr8BXi2l1tibr2ZjSN68GC77AlhMTcwK5vZf2-blLcR-6PmFGA4IyekRXt4th0lTeb4e-u_WThDAp_zEWZr4grq7cjBISLPxZky4WmNbw4MfggAlYjQWjrceHaGYmPWZZ5kZ50IuLml6DbNHkQ/s4608/IMG_20220917_160707.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4608" data-original-width="3456" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh3uHK3FCkxvYm-cMImULbQEP5fjb7T1rbhQQo0H0EJhr8BXi2l1tibr2ZjSN68GC77AlhMTcwK5vZf2-blLcR-6PmFGA4IyekRXt4th0lTeb4e-u_WThDAp_zEWZr4grq7cjBISLPxZky4WmNbw4MfggAlYjQWjrceHaGYmPWZZ5kZ50IuLml6DbNHkQ/s320/IMG_20220917_160707.jpg" width="240" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Labeled pattern piece</td></tr></tbody></table><p>The top overall is an easy sew, but I did run into some issues with the pattern pieces not lining up correctly to make the bow. </p><p>The bow does take a bit of fiddling to get it to lay nicely.

Suggested woven fabrics are shirting, flannel, voile, poplin, or quilters cotton.</span><span> If using knit fabric - jersey, interlock, Ponte, and cotton/lycra are great choices. I had this woven floral print left over from a previous project and it was just enough to make me a pair of shorts. I chose to sew the bralette over all the other top options because, well, the heat again. R</span><span>ib-knit was the fabric of choice for the binding around the neck and armholes. Be sure to choose a good quality knit for the binding as it needs to have great recovery since it will be stretched more than anywhere else on the bralette.</span></span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;"><b>LINING THE SHELF BRA </b></span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;"><span>My bralette fabric is a super lightweight knit. This also made it sheer, but I decided to cut two layers for the front to reduce any unwanted exposure! When sewing I pinned the two front layers wrong sides together and treated them as one piece of fabric. You may baste at the side seams and neckline if you find it difficult to handle. </span><span> I left the back as one layer of fabric. </span></span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjr73AE5qiUhD5MMi9GyDkpbMJZyzHRvo1QBKoj7AcVuJr-YZPe3LNsFWbFq5A0Qis6779woxEPMUyrOc1zM2yiegBtRsYn_Pu7CjCZqziptat3tARC3S9LYkMNAYdX9IoDUkTASXlZsgvnvXUG6uuVuG8b4Qyy8IdpEcHXnIHK5KfBkFaCEabSdr7Fog/s3456/IMG_8093.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3456" data-original-width="2468" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjr73AE5qiUhD5MMi9GyDkpbMJZyzHRvo1QBKoj7AcVuJr-YZPe3LNsFWbFq5A0Qis6779woxEPMUyrOc1zM2yiegBtRsYn_Pu7CjCZqziptat3tARC3S9LYkMNAYdX9IoDUkTASXlZsgvnvXUG6uuVuG8b4Qyy8IdpEcHXnIHK5KfBkFaCEabSdr7Fog/w458-h640/IMG_8093.jpg" width="458" /></span></a></div><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span><p><span style="font-size: medium;"> <b>UNDERBUST ELASTIC FOR THE BRALETTE - A DIFFERENT METHOD USED</b></span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">The pattern suggests using plush elastic, which leaves the elastic exposed but the plush side resting against the skin. Plush elastic is super soft and comfortable, but I did not have any on hand at the time of sewing this up. So instead I folded the hem of the bralette up by the amount of my elastic width plus a 1/4" more. You may want to add back an extra 1/4-1/2" at the hem of the shelf bra pattern piece to be sure of the same fit. </span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;"> I sewed all around the bralette leaving a 2" opening to insert my elastic. The elastic was cut the same /length as instructed in the pattern and I inserted it using a safety pin , secured the edges together, and stitched the 2" opening closed. Now the fabric against my skin is just as comfortable as the plush elastic. </span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;"> </span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjifZgBjcgmAunImk6jcJQd2japKjtrOLXjoKzQ2ruMzAthdfajcrySuBdMaSQSRbRxOvScOW8hD4C_l3sTwEbCHXLiLPDdxoUT7boQ0wQ9UP6mw9Jx_RKOBWSZkYEtsfgwIFk6st6hV0pX3ZcrITCtK-tbkgrbdAfcPX0zqjSExidfiKgUqiL-mFE70w/s3456/IMG_8096.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3456" data-original-width="2468" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjifZgBjcgmAunImk6jcJQd2japKjtrOLXjoKzQ2ruMzAthdfajcrySuBdMaSQSRbRxOvScOW8hD4C_l3sTwEbCHXLiLPDdxoUT7boQ0wQ9UP6mw9Jx_RKOBWSZkYEtsfgwIFk6st6hV0pX3ZcrITCtK-tbkgrbdAfcPX0zqjSExidfiKgUqiL-mFE70w/w458-h640/IMG_8096.jpg" width="458" /></span></a></div><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span><p><b><span style="font-size: medium;">SHORTS - SKIPPING THE FAUX FLY </span></b></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">The shorts come with a faux fly, but if you want to skip it, just fold the fly pattern piece out of the way and cut out your fabric.

This pattern is a super cute square neckline top or dress pattern with a scalloped hem. The dress comes with three layers that are all attached at the waist (not to be mistaken with tiers which attach to the previous tier above it). This layer feature is super cool for colour blocking and eliminates the need for connector pieces as witha tiered dress.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjz0FlyaIp7vCd0yA4tA6-eTYQcWe5N4hCufgbTvxqGcYt9XnsH8KfFObwppCSC64bQxbjKX_TzLgn55jqSU7Vza-rY1H_qaYizu2UdUIeyo3L1iQ8yjabni0ovF0vqh-yz5Mbn4EM0bZUumfiJFtNkmIO7CqXBrHgvTNzCDuC3yLnCMl9KfP4PavV9gA/s590/cover%20photo.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="590" data-original-width="536" height="520" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjz0FlyaIp7vCd0yA4tA6-eTYQcWe5N4hCufgbTvxqGcYt9XnsH8KfFObwppCSC64bQxbjKX_TzLgn55jqSU7Vza-rY1H_qaYizu2UdUIeyo3L1iQ8yjabni0ovF0vqh-yz5Mbn4EM0bZUumfiJFtNkmIO7CqXBrHgvTNzCDuC3yLnCMl9KfP4PavV9gA/w474-h520/cover%20photo.JPG" width="474" /></a></div><br /><p style="box-sizing: border-box; margin-block: 0px; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; max-width: 620px;"><br /></p><p style="box-sizing: border-box; margin-block-end: 0px; margin-block-start: var( --wp--style--block-gap ); margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; max-width: 620px;">In my version I only made the top and attached one layer to the bodice.

You will sew up to that line , allow the needle to rest on the line you drew. Lift your presser foot, pivot and continue sewing. That way you maintain the seam allowance around the sharp corner and will have a clean finished scallop or neckline to show off.</p><figure class="wp-block-image size-large" style="box-sizing: border-box; margin-block-end: 0px; margin-block-start: var( --wp--style--block-gap ); margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: auto !important; margin-right: auto !important; margin-top: 0px; margin: 0px auto 1em; max-width: 620px; text-align: center;"><img alt="" class="wp-image-14" data-attachment-id="14" data-comments-opened="1" data-image-caption="" data-image-description="" data-image-meta="{"aperture":"0","credit":"","camera":"","caption":"","created_timestamp":"0","copyright":"","focal_length":"0","iso":"0","shutter_speed":"0","title":"","orientation":"0"}" data-image-title="featureartboard-2" data-large-file="https://sewhoney946368056.files.wordpress.com/2022/07/featureartboard-2.png?w=523" data-medium-file="https://sewhoney946368056.files.wordpress.com/2022/07/featureartboard-2.png?w=300" data-orig-file="https://sewhoney946368056.files.wordpress.com/2022/07/featureartboard-2.png" data-orig-size="523,467" data-permalink="https://sewhoney946368056.wordpress.com/2022/07/19/saltwhistle-top-and-dress/featureartboard-2/" height="467" loading="lazy" sizes="(max-width: 523px) 100vw, 523px" src="https://sewhoney946368056.files.wordpress.com/2022/07/featureartboard-2.png?w=523" srcset="https://sewhoney946368056.files.wordpress.com/2022/07/featureartboard-2.png 523w, https://sewhoney946368056.files.wordpress.com/2022/07/featureartboard-2.png?w=150 150w, https://sewhoney946368056.files.wordpress.com/2022/07/featureartboard-2.png?w=300 300w" style="border-radius: inherit; box-sizing: border-box; height: auto; max-width: 100%; vertical-align: bottom;" width="523" /><figcaption class="wp-element-caption" style="box-sizing: border-box; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-top: 0.5em;">Front Neckline shown with line markings and stitch line</figcaption></figure><p style="box-sizing: border-box; margin-block-end: 0px; margin-block-start: var( --wp--style--block-gap ); margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; max-width: 620px;"></p><figure class="wp-block-image size-large is-resized" style="box-sizing: border-box; margin-block-end: 0px; margin-block-start: var( --wp--style--block-gap ); margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: auto !important; margin-right: auto !important; margin-top: 0px; margin: 0px auto 1em; max-width: 620px; text-align: center;"><img alt="" class="wp-image-15" data-attachment-id="15" data-comments-opened="1" data-image-caption="" data-image-description="" data-image-meta="{"aperture":"0","credit":"","camera":"","caption":"","created_timestamp":"0","copyright":"","focal_length":"0","iso":"0","shutter_speed":"0","title":"","orientation":"0"}" data-image-title="featureartboard-2-copy" data-large-file="https://sewhoney946368056.files.wordpress.com/2022/07/featureartboard-2-copy.png?w=523" data-medium-file="https://sewhoney946368056.files.wordpress.com/2022/07/featureartboard-2-copy.png?w=300" data-orig-file="https://sewhoney946368056.files.wordpress.com/2022/07/featureartboard-2-copy.png" data-orig-size="523,467" data-permalink="https://sewhoney946368056.wordpress.com/2022/07/19/saltwhistle-top-and-dress/featureartboard-2-copy/" height="467" loading="lazy" sizes="(max-width: 523px) 100vw, 523px" src="https://sewhoney946368056.files.wordpress.com/2022/07/featureartboard-2-copy.png?w=523" srcset="https://sewhoney946368056.files.wordpress.com/2022/07/featureartboard-2-copy.png 523w, https://sewhoney946368056.files.wordpress.com/2022/07/featureartboard-2-copy.png?w=150 150w, https://sewhoney946368056.files.wordpress.com/2022/07/featureartboard-2-copy.png?w=300 300w" style="border-radius: inherit; box-sizing: border-box; height: auto; max-width: 100%; vertical-align: bottom;" width="523" /><figcaption class="wp-element-caption" style="box-sizing: border-box; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-top: 0.5em;">Scallop shown with line markings and stitch line</figcaption></figure><p style="box-sizing: border-box; margin-block-end: 0px; margin-block-start: var( --wp--style--block-gap ); margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; max-width: 620px;">If I were to rate this pattern I would say an adventerous beginner can accomplish sewing this pattern as long as you follow the steps as written.

Actually, this make was meant to be a muslin. For anyone who is new to sewing , a muslin is a sample garment that you will sew using inexpensive fabric just to see if the garment fits you well. Muslins are very important to identify fitting issues , and really should not be skipped. Thankfully for me, it turned out so beautiful, I did not need to sew another.</p><p style="box-sizing: border-box; margin-block-end: 0px; margin-block-start: var( --wp--style--block-gap ); margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; max-width: 620px;">If you are interested in purchasing and sewing up this pattern.

Who knew that making socks could be so easy !</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I was happy to have
been chosen as a tester for the Abby’s TrailBlazing Socks designed by The Wolf
and the Tree. These socks are perfect for knit scraps and easy to sew. They can
be made for both boys and girls and there are lots of different lengths and
styles. My version was the simple bobby socks because only my little nephew was on hand to test for and I live in a Tropical climate so I have no need for all the other gorgeous designs. However, the sock comes in so many different styles that you will never need any other sock pattern for your kiddo as long as you have this one. Go over to her <a href="https://www.etsy.com/listing/253986258/abbys-trailblazing-socks-pdf-sewing?ga_order=most_relevant&ga_search_type=all&ga_view_type=gallery&ga_search_query=abbys%20trailblazing%20socks&ref=sr_gallery_1" target="_blank">Etsy</a> store and get the socks! </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Then join the <a href="https://www.facebook.com/groups/TWTden/" target="_blank">Facebook page</a> <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>and
check out what everyone else has to say about this pattern and post the numerous pairs you have made! </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Happy Sewing!!</div>

It can be found <a href="http://ebethdesigns.com/product/parisian-palazzo-pants/" target="_blank">HERE</a> in her shop. Wide legged and comfy, perfect for lounging, going to the supermarket or making it for work - like I did. The pattern is a great staple for your daily wear - where ever you may go! <br />

I made this skirt so long ago and never blogged about it. It is a cute skirt with an assymetrical hemline perfect for soft fabrics such as silk. However I HAD to go against the grain and use a heavy polyster blend which I was certain would not look right. But guess what , it came out super cute. The shop can be found on <a href="https://www.etsy.com/shop/SewPandiDesigns" target="_blank">ETSY</a>. <br />
It is a super easy skirt, kind of a fabric hog (for me anyway- remember the name of my blog) - but its worth it. You can dress it up or down and make it your own. There is a video tutorial to help with the square corner too!<br />
You can read more about it <a href="http://patternrevolution.com/featured-designer/2014/11/7/aspiring-designer-sew-pandi" target="_blank">HERE</a><br />

I love it some much because, guess what - Its Reversible! And it is not! Uhmm...what??? .<br />
Heidi the designer has included two
full photo illustrations and instructions for you to make the dress
either reversible or non reversible (like a normal dress). And to
top it off a headband pattern has also been included to totally complete
the outfit.<br />
I was honoured to test Heidi's lovely pattern and
found it to be such a remarkable achievement on my part. But what was
even more humbling is that my niece would not take the dress off. It is
full of circle skirt twirl factor , and is made up of her favourite
colour - the colour purple (at least half of it anyway).<br />
But before I get lost into my own
humdrum about my achievements, let me tell you that this pattern is
super easy to put together. It does not take a rocket scientist to
figure it out. It is well written with lots of pictures and one section of the instructions even has a video tutorial , making the entire process super easy to understand. The dress has an elastic waist
(at the back) and ties in the back bodice. No buttons or zippers are included ( if that
is where your fear lies) . It is easy to get on or off and can be dressed
up or down depending on fabric choices. And speaking about fabric
choices - I think choosing fabric is the hardest part of making this dress. I am certain that you
will enjoy making it.When done join Heidi's <a href="https://www.facebook.com/PollywogglesPatterns" target="_blank">Facebook Group</a> and show off your creations! <br />

I love how mine turned out. This skirt can be made with any lace or preruffled fabric, but I chose to make my own ruffles from fabric with an effort to put a dent in my scrap fabric stash. It turned out ruffling my own fabric was really easy and added texture to my skirt.<br />
The pattern can be found on <a href="https://www.etsy.com/listing/219795995/koda-penny-pocket-skirt-pdf-pattern-and" target="_blank">Etsy</a>. Its an easy sew and you wont be dissapointed.<br />

Case in point - this really cute pattern!<br />
<br />
Simple yet so elegant this dress is. You can dress it up or down and it still works for you. It can be sleeveless, collarless, and there are two belt options. Perfect for practicing new sewing skills such as collars and sleeves.<br />
The tutorial is easy to understand and follow . You wont regret sewing this one up.<br />
Take a sew at it.<br />
<br />
You can find it here<a href="https://www.etsy.com/listing/218414461/the-english-rose-dress-pdf-sewing?ref=sr_gallery_4&ga_search_query=the+english+rose+dress&ga_search_type=all&ga_view_type=gallery" target="_blank">ETSY.</a> <br />
<br />
Wait till you see what others have done with this dress.<a href="https://www.facebook.com/groups/627364904011346/photos/" target="_blank">Facebook</a> has quite a few pictures to wet your appetite (trust me I am the least of the sewists when it comes to this dress). Happy sewing!<br />

I am trying to clear my sewing room of all tiny scrap pieces, hence the three colour combo on this design. I got away with making this top with a scrap of fabric 25 wide by 18 long. <br />
The pattern is easy and straight forward . If you are new to sewing knits it still is easy. I used a size 9 needle, a stretch stitch on my sewing machine and away I went at creating this design. To ensure I used every last bit of scrap I took the pieces from the neck and armholes, folded it in half then in half again and cut in a love sign. Knit wont fray so it does not need to be hemmed or anything. I sewed three beads from an old necklace in the centre and there you have it - a decorative flower. <br />
<br />
My model is age 5 with chest 22" . I made the size 2T chest and 4T length. Unfortunately my knit does not have a lot a stretch so her time in this tank is going to be short lived.<br />
<br />
The pattern I used can be found<a href="http://www.fishsticksdesigns.com/TheTank.pdf" target="_blank"> here. </a><br />
But I checked the site today and found out that an update was done and can be found<a href="http://www.fishsticksdesigns.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2014/03/FD_TheTank2014.pdf" target="_blank"> here</a>.<br />
Happy sewing!<br />

<br />
<br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Talk about versatility</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Well this pattern will certainly leave you wanting to make something new. You have three options in ONE pattern : </span><br />
<ul>
<li><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Pants</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Shorts</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Capri</span></li>
</ul>
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"> and it can be used for BOTH boys and girls. In fact that makes 6
options if you really think about it from ages 12 months to 8 years. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Heidi also conserves on printing the patterns by having an innovative way of allowing you to measure the length that you want.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">She gives great hints on "Mash Ups" which allows you to tailor your pant for best fit.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Each option can be beautifully enhanced with ruffles to make them even cuter.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br /></span>

Instead I prefer to just sew them.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"> But I must give credit where it is due, and well, <a href="https://www.facebook.com/PollywogglesPatterns" target="_blank">Heidi from Pollywoggles Patterns</a> is really great at what she does. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">This dress speaks for itself : simple, girly, twirly </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Every little girl loves to twirl and this dress will not disappoint. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">It is also very easy to put together, and who does not love shirring. If you have never done it before, dont be put off by that. The pattern is well written with great hints and tips to shir your way into a beautiful dress.</span><br />
