Finally, Pants! Simplicity 8056 and Another Simplicity 8014
Finally, I finished my pants! Well, I’m happy with the outcome and it was a long time coming. I actually could have finished these like two weeks ago, but apparently me and the embroidery machine have been having a little affair (insert shocked face)! These pants are a wearable muslin, I like wearables because like I’ve said before, I like to wear a garment to work, sit down and stand up to get a good idea of my adjustments. Also, some fabric tends to bag out and then I over correct to fit it and then it’s tight. To remedy that, I try and get quality fabric and not over…

Another version of Simplicity 8014
Yaaasss to the pattern matching! So, I LOVE THIS DRESS. Well, actually I wear it as a duster , I like it better because of the all over print.

I only purchased a piece of Ankara that my husband has taken for himself, guess I’ll be making him a tunic, sooner, rather than later.

Simplicity 8014 The Classic Shirt Dress
The belt really added a nice modern touch to the dress, animal print shoes, yes! I’ve had this dress made for like two weeks and didn’t get any photos taken. I’m usually not busy on the weekends, but these last few have been busy and I didn’t get my photos taken. Ohh, then it was raining, I really could have taken pictures inside, but I want to be outside in the sunshine. Dress without the belt, and it has pockets!!! I went through the instructions in my insta-stories on Instagram. I think it was easier to show my frustration with some of the instructions because you can see…
