Make It Wear It Thursday

Welcome to Make It Wear It Thursday! Link up anything you made (sew, knit, crochet, glue, glitter) to be worn. Accessories count! Just add your blog link or flickr photo link to the inlinkz form below. It's super easy and we love seeing what you made!

I haven't touched my sewing machine in 2 weeks. I know for some of you that's unthinkable. I've been doing some behind the scenes work on the pattern shop and all those changes should be live next week. Fingers crossed! We've been working around the clock to get it completed and I'm ready to move on to the next project!

This week there were some fun Casual Lady sightings! Kirsten from Kojo Designs made this simple and adorable version. Of course, everything she does is amazing. Cute belt! Go see the rest of her photos.

Speaking of amazing, Stefanie from Girl, Inspired also made a Casual Lady. Love this one. It looks fantastic in this print. And THANK YOU to both of you ladies for sharing this cause and helping raise money for She's Worth It. Mwah!

Make It Wear It Thursday

Welcome to Make It Wear It Thursday! Link up anything you made (sew, knit, crochet, glue, glitter) to be worn. Accessories count!

Thank you to so many of you who are posting about the Casual Lady!! Here are some of them I've spotted this week:

On left: Casual Lady by Veronica from Sew Very. She's a busy lady! Have you seen all the amazing things she's been sewing lately? Wowza!

On right: Cathy from Crafts, Etc. made this cute Casual Lady with chevron fabric from Girl Charlee. Cathy wrote the sweetest review. Thanks!

On left: Casual Lady by Heather from The Sewing Loft. Love her cute pattern weights! If you're not familiar with The Sewing Loft you're missing out.

On right: Amanda The Funny of Kitschy Coo fame made a reversible Casual Lady. What? This is like the best shirt for moms of newborns. Ha! If you aren't familiar with Amanda your life isn't complete. Hop on over and check out her awesome blog and shop. If you're looking for incredible (colorful) knit fabric she's got you covered.

Unrelated: Are you following the She's Worth It Facebook page? Many of the bracelets and zipper pouches you've made are being handed out by Brandi right now. (She's also selling separate bracelets for the cause so don't get confused when she asks if you want to buy one!). She's taking short videos daily and sharing about India, Thailand and Cambodia. (note: we have tons more that didn't get sent on this trip and I'll be giving more details about everything in a full post soon!)

I can't wait to see what you've been making! I love checking out all your posts!

Featuring YOU

Thank you for linking up to Make It Wear It! I love featuring you!

First, we have my friend, Stacey, from Boy, Oh Boy, Oh Boy. She usually blogs about boy things. Shocking, I know. She's an amazing seamstress and I love the things she makes for her three little guys. But this week she was on the Casual Lady tour!! Yay! Thanks Stacey!

I love the dress she made! And clearly, she is taller than I am. She'll hate that I said this, but I once heard Adrianna from Crafterhours say Stacey is the most beautiful person she's ever met. Whoa. Such a compliment. Go on over and get to know Stacey!! Thanks for joining the tour! Read more about the pattern here.

Somehow Mouse Mouse Crations managed to pull off chevrons on a boy. I'm shocked that I love it! I'm not a huge chevron fan (I don't mind them) but this is super cute.

the Casual Lady top and dress pattern for women

Ok! I can finally share a little about what I've been working on! I released two patterns this weekend. One is for sale and the other is FREE! The Casual Lady top and dress sewing pattern is for sale! But here's the catch, I created it to support She's Worth It. I thought a sewing pattern was the perfect way to raise money for a sewing collective project. If you don't know anything about She's Worth It you can read more here. Who doesn't want a great fitting shirt AND to help a great cause?

Even better? All proceeds from Peekaboo Patterns, Blank Slate Patterns and The Sewing Loft paterns in my shop are benefitting She's Worth It! So if you've been wanting to go on a shopping spree head over here to see the patterns that are participating!

Everything on this page is being donated to She's Worth It today only.

I have to say, I LOVE this shirt. It is so comfortable and flattering. And I'm not just saying that because it's a self design. I've seen it on a lot of other testers and it looks great on everyone! You can't say that about a lot of patterns.
