I think this cropped cardigan fits extra nice over fit and flair dresses, what do you think?

Yes, the pattern for #shirtwaistseptember2025 is coming together nicely. Just a few more tweaks. Have to finish a different project first before I can sew this.

I'm starting my first ZUMBA class soon and I needed something to wear. So of course I made a workout dress. :D

The pattern is created with my free knit bodice and skirt dress pattern kit.

These are the settings for this exact dress: www.dressdeveloper.com/pattern-kits...

In this fabric, the Primrose bag pattern looks like a beachbag, doesn't it? It's meant to transport my work laptop though :D

Made a new dress pattern with extra large pockets :)

The pockets sit inside the front outer skirt panel so there are extra secure. The width of the pockets vary with your body measurements and skirt fullness.

You can find the free pattern here: www.dressdeveloper.com/sewingpatter...

This free dress pattern hugs your figure without any closure! The secret is a shirred panel in the back.

You can customize the sleeve and dress length and even enter your own measurements to get your very own pattern!

Close call. Probably need to shorten the pockets to get two pairs out of it. But better than large leftovers, right? 😉 #sewing

Your pattern has no sleeve or you don't like the sleeve it came with? Just measure your armscye and arm and let my software create a new sleeve for you, no math required.

This sweater can be sewn as a dress too! Choose between a big shawl collar or a narrow neckband, lengthen it and flair it at the hem. Just as you like. :)

Let me tell you a little cutting trick. This dress flairs out at the bottom so I cannot cut front and back next to each other. But if I move the fabric fold a bit, I can wiggle one sleeve out of it. When I cut the front, I will flip over the sleeve and cut the opposing one. Save fabric! #sewing

So I made something a bit different. With this pattern www.dressdeveloper.com/sewingpatter... you can create a hood pattern for basically every top pattern.

What do you think? I might do something similar for sleeves, would you be interested?

I designed this pattern to be a Raincoat out of Softshell, but I can see it in a wool, too.

The pattern is available for free in sizes EU 32-60, and you can also create it using your own mesurements!

Yes, I wear dresses in winter. ;)

This dress is made out of 100% merino wool, I'm not sure how to call the fabric, it's is a very tight knit.

Combined with a sweat leggins it keeps me warm and cozy.
