Hello friends!<\/p>\n

S and I were on the road for a few weeks, so I haven’t been able to check in like usual. While I wasn’t able to fully unplug, it was rather nice to have limited connectivity while we were in the mountains of Colorado. We were also able to spend a few days in New York, seeing friends and stocking up on some fabrics I can’t seen to get in Spain. (What is it with Europe and polyester and viscose, anyway? Argh!)<\/p>\n

How has your summer been? Have you done any fun sewing?<\/p>\n

Next week I get started sewing fall styles for our model! Do you like my fabric choices so far? (Any guesses what we’re planning?)<\/p>\n

Pinterest Picks<\/strong><\/p>\n

This first dress reminds me of our Jump Rope Dress<\/a>, and I especially love it in the soft stripes. The second dress is so much fun with the flounces. You could easily sew something like it with our Building Block Dress book<\/a>.<\/p>\n

These little zippered cases look so impressive and would be such wonderful gifts. I’m planning to sew a few when I have time. Also, aren’t these colors lovely and inspiring? This image pops up in my Pinterest often, so I may have shown it to you before.<\/p>\n

How much fun would it be to take your own sketches, or your children’s sketches, and turn them into printed fabric for apparel like this? I love the black-and-white simplicity. Also, I just love this hand-drawn striped fabric, which would lend itself nicely to one of my variations on our Classic Shirt. (Variations one<\/a>, two<\/a>, and three<\/a>. And more variations are coming–watch the blog!)<\/p>\n

This pleated-front dress would be easy to make with our Rush Hour Dress pattern<\/a>! In fact, I may even give you a tutorial since I’ve decided to sew one for myself. We’ve been invited to several weddings and I own only black and almost-white dressy dresses, so I guess I’ve got to step up my style game for these formal Spanish weddings. Also, this striped sundress reminds me of our Lisette for Butterick B6661<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Here are two little details I just love. The on-seam double welt pocket is a must-try while I plan to add to another Classic Shirt. And the pleated neckline detail would be great for either our Gelato Dress<\/a> for women or to our School Photo Dress<\/a>, which already has a ruffled neckline detail. It could also be cute on the Carousel Dress<\/a>, come to think of it.<\/p>\n
