Hi, BEAUTIES! I’m back again! Double posts, wow, I might have my sew-jo back 😉 If you’ve been sewing commercial patterns for a bit, you may already be familiar with the pattern used for today’s look. A fan favorite in the sewing community, by the incredible Mimi G. An off-the-shoulder dress never seems to go out of style, and it was calling my name for this holiday season.
I hope you are having a great start to the new year! I’m dipping my toes back in the sewing world again, it has evolved so much to reach even more people, and I love it! There are more great creators to share and be inspired by!
Let me know in the comments below what brands, fabrics, shops, bloggers, etc. I should check out! 🙌🏽
Enjoy today’s blog post and HAPPY SEWING!
