The many looks of Tweet la Vie

Hi There,
I really hope your days are going as great as mine, at least in Texas warm weather lasts a while, so this is the time of the year I sew the most, and this time I used Michael Miller fabrics Tweet la Vie collection to create a batch of awesomeness!
This fabulous collection includes a couple of prints with metallic effects and coordinating soft prints that create beautiful and feminine looks.
First on the cutting table was a Norah dress by Mouse House creations (Link to Pattern HERE). Have I mentioned this is the first PDF pattern I completed? The collar and A line cut are vintage perfection!


Next, I got invited to test Violette Field Threads Mila dress and romper pattern (Pattern HERE) and couldn't think of a better collection for the looks the pattern offers, a beautiful romper or dress.



The cherry on top was Made for Mermaids Quinn pattern, the perfect opportunity to use the last bit of this collection that I had left and using my ruffler foot for the A-Line tunic option, adding the included side pocket pattern piece for detail. The look was just precious! Did I mention this pattern has a mama version too? Both patterns are available HERE
A full review of this pattern is also available on my post HERE





This fabulous collection is brand new and available now.

Love,

Paola

Bed of Roses Round-up!

Hi there!
With summer upon us, I started getting more than inspired to create beautiful outfits for my little girl, and the perfect wardrobe needs the perfect fabric right? I was lucky enough to receive the Bed of Roses collection from Michael Miller fabrics, and I got inspired enough to create even something for me! Now that is rare, I mostly sew for the little ones so a fabric line that inspires me to sew for myself must be special.

I first self-drafted this dress, another first for me and was extremely happy with the result.


Second, I made Brownie Goose's Junie dress, a summer must have! A very quick sew with a elastic waist.

And last, but not least, I made Julia and I matching tops using the newly released Made for Mermaids Quinn top for girls and Mama Quinn top for ladies, using the beautiful border print that is part of the collection and coordinating floral for my little one. Both patterns can be found HERE


I Hope you enjoy this fabric collection as much as I do! The Bed of Roses collection is available at many retailers nationwide!

Love,

Paola
