Ellie & Mac Sweetie Pie Tunic & Dress

It's Wacky Wednesday at Ellie & Mac! This week I am making a new to me pattern - the Sweetie Pie Tunic & Dress. I decided to make the Tunic version and need to make a few more. I love the fullness of the Sweetie Pie. Isn't it a cutie pie?


You definitely want to use a fabric with a lot of drape to prevent it from tenting out. I used a lightweight poly spandex jersey knit I got from a local sewist destashing. I normally don't do florals, but loved the muted colors and abstract design of the flowers.


I find this shape very figure flattering and have already spied a few knits in my stash that I will be turning into Sweetie Pie Tunics for this fall.


Another pattern in this weeks Wacky Wednesday Sale is the Lucky Girl Top & Dress. Here's a photo of my favorite one. I wear this one quite often.

Ellie & Mac Women's Lucky Girl Top

I love raglan style tops and the Ellie & Mac Women's Lucky Girl Top and Dress is no ordinary raglan.


The Lucky Girl has the cutest sleeves! I made the banded version, but there is also a version that ties.


Raglans are great for mixing and matching fabrics. I used a Texas fabric designed by Robyriker on Spoonflower. This print was offered by Sew Big Fabrics as a fundraiser for Hurricane Harvey victims. You can buy this print - and other coordinating Texas designs HERE.


Love how the Lucky Girl sleeve shows a little bit of skin.


I love that you can use scraps and short cuts for the sleeves on the Lucky Girl. The red I used above and below was a short cut of red cotton lycra from Made Whimsy.


This striped floral was in a short cut remnant pack I got from Wanderlust.


I think it's a fun combo. I might add some HTV to the front.


The Lucky Girl below was the final version and I made it with more scraps!


The cherry blossom design came from a destash and was a super wonky cut. I just barely got the body cut from it. It's  a good thing I'm short. I took 2" out of the length.


The brown was a cotton lycra remnant from Made Whimsy. Mandy periodically offers remnants and flawed pieces for just a few bucks for lots of usable fabric.


Grab the Lucky Girl for only $3.85 through Sunday (02/03).
