Made Whimsy Spring 2019 Preorder

Made Whimsy has so many beautiful prints at preroder right now. I already blogged about the Steampunk Floral HERE.  Now I want to show you the gorgeous Orange and Blossoms print.

I really love this golden yellow color. It's what made me ask Mandy for this print, And yes, it does have a lot of pink - which I normally don't like. But this combination is too beautiful to not not love.

I made the George + Ginger SoTa with my fabric. I used the Plum Dream Solid for the godets. I just love the godets on the SoTa!

I have to admit, when I ordered the Plum Dream Solid, I was not looking at the listing. I was expecting a very purply plum color. I was quite surprised when I got this, what I would call Magenta color. I wondered what the heck I was going to do with it. I think it was perfect for this Orange and Blossoms print.

I told myself earlier this year to stop making things that had pink in them, as they rarely get worn. But I'm thinking this SoTa will get worn a lot this spring.

Saturday I woke up to a stye in my right eye and some nasty drizzly and cold weather. So what do I do, I spend all morning in my sewing room looking to see what I could make with my scraps. Made Whimsy prints are now printed on 66" wide fabric and the dream solids are 68" wide, I had enough to make another top!

I made the Love Notions Tidal Top. I love that I was able to get the front center panel and sleeves from my Orange and Blossoms print scrap.

I also still have a good sized scrap left of the Plum Dream Solid. I'm passing on the remainder to Sharon. I have a feeling she can find a use for it.

Here's a look at all the prints at preorder. Preorder closes on March 11th! Order HERE.

Nature's Fabrics Rainbow Sale

Nature's Fabrics is having a sale on all rainbow fabrics! They are currently 15% off through December 21st. When I saw this Rainbow Tie Dye, I knew I needed it to make my mother a top. Good thing she and I are close to the same size - I got to wear it first.

The Rainbow Tie Dye is a lightweight polyester jersey. It is 180 gsm which is perfect for a flowy top.

I made the Love Notions Tidal Top with my Rainbow Tie Dye fabric.

I had the strawberry cotton rib knit from Nature's Fabric that matched the Rainbow Tie Dye perfectly. I used it not only for the neckband, but to also do a small band on the sleeves and to add a piping detail to the front bodice seams.

The Tidal Top has a center back seam which allows you to adjust the pattern for a sway back - which I have. I did my best to stripe match as perfectly as possible.

I probably could have scooped out another 0.5" for my swayback, but it's pretty darn close.

This is the first time I have added a piping detail to the Tidal Top and I really love it. I had to do some pattern finagling to get the stripes to match up on that front bodice seam.

The piping was also done to break up the stripes just enough that you don't notice where they don't match up perfectly. Think of it as an optical illusion.

 I'm wearing my mother's Tidal Top with Greenstyle Creations Chelsea Pants.

I can't wait to give my mom this top. I think she's going to love the Rainbow Tie Dye so much. She loves when I make her tops - especially with tie-dye prints.

Here's a closer look at the Rainbow Tie Dye fabric. Each stripe is two tones and each color is separated by a grey stripe.
