The sleeves are the reason I made this and they didn't disappoint. It's a quick, satisfying sew — nothing tricky about it. The fit is relaxed and the tie-back detail makes it feel way more elevated than the effort it takes.
A flowy fabric — something with a lot of drape that really moves with the sleeves. I'd also adjust the waistband to be a bit thicker and add a little more length so it's not as cropped.
One of my all-time favorites. The V-neck just works — it looks polished but takes almost no effort to put together. I've gotten so many compliments on this one and I can't stop thinking about making it again.
Linen — multiple times over, in every color. It's the kind of top that deserves a whole wardrobe of versions. A soft stripe or a washed solid would be perfect.
This one surprised me — it looked ambitious but if you're comfortable with zippers it's actually pretty manageable. The fit is so wearable and it goes with everything. A jacket you'll actually reach for.
Something bold — a bright color or a statement fabric. I'd also cut the sleeves slightly longer next time. The proportions are great but I wanted just a bit more length on mine.
This was my first real swimwear project and I'm so glad I chose this pattern to start with. The instructions are clear, the fit is flattering, and the fact that it's reversible makes it feel like you're getting two suits for the price of one fabric cut.
Two contrasting swim fabrics to really play up the reversible feature — maybe a solid on one side and a print on the other. Edgewater Ave has so many great swim patterns worth exploring too.
A slouchy, oversized bag that's both stylish and actually useful. It sews up quickly and the results look way more impressive than the effort involved. This one is a great project if you want to dip into bag making without getting overwhelmed.
Quilted fabric — the texture would add so much dimension and make it feel really unique. It's the kind of bag that deserves to stand out.
A halter mini dress with a front tie that's everything a summer dress should be — easy to sew, comfortable to wear, and cute enough to get stopped on the street. This one went straight into heavy rotation the moment I finished it.
Something light and breezy — a printed cotton or a soft linen in a fun summer color. This silhouette is perfect for bold prints.
