So I recently was asked to join my second strike off team and I couldn’t wait to get started. Lucky for me, I soared to the top of the promo list and quickly received my fabric. I picked two different prints from Stitchin’ Pretties so stay tuned for some more beautiful fabrics this week!
Be Breezy + Stitchin’ Pretties + Puppy Dog= PERFECTION
When I received this super soft, super adorable, Double Brushed Poly Print called Sophia, I knew I needed a girlie pattern to team it with. I wanted something I hadn’t tried before, but I also knew it needed to be a quick sew because I couldn’t wait to wear it! I bet you would have felt the same way. Psst… there may be a flash sale happening at Stitchin’ Pretties RIGHT NOW!!!
I turned to my stash of Ellie and Mac Patterns. Please don’t tell anyone, but I have a lot of them! I hadn’t sewn this one yet, so it was a perfect choice!
….DRUM ROLL PLEASE….
BE BREEZY
If you have been reading my blog long at all, you know I am a super fan of tops and dresses that are fitted through the bust and have a skirt attached at the natural waistline. Trust me, even if you are a round apple shape, you have a waist! This pattern not only has those features, but the skirt portion is angled. It is pointed in the front and the back. I like this as it covers my belly and my booty. Also it is a little bit different than a lot of others designs out there.

I made the 4x size which is my typical size in EAM patterns and I adjusted the arms to accommodate my biceps which is also typical. Here is the video how to do it. I added 1.5 inches. I chose to make the mid-thigh length with short sleeves.Β This pattern comes with several sleeve and length options so you can mix and match however you want! I made this top with a 2 yard cut of Sophia and have a nice size section left…maybe some matching socks or undies will be made. π
So I made this top yesterday and wore it all day. I kinda hate to wash it because I want to wear it again already!
When you choose a pattern called Be Breezy it only seems right to share some windblown photos right?? Maybe I should have flown a kite in my pics…
