Well Hello World!! How are ya??? Yep, its been a while, way too long, but now I'm back and life is crazier than ever!!!
Today, I'm coming to you with a pattern review!! A couple of years ago when my oldest was born, I was so excited to start sewing for her!! I started out just making up my own patterns, then I got bored...so I went into Joann's Fabrics, when they were having their $.99 pattern sales and picked up a ton of patterns!! Got home, opened a pattern, threw it down and never picked it up again (yep, I have a whole drawer of paper patterns that I don't use!!) Well, then I found out about the wonderful world of PDF patterns, and let me tell ya...I. BUY. ONE. EVERYDAY!! (hopefully the hubby never reads this...lol) Anyhoo....PDF patterns, are the best thing since sliced bread...( I've always wanted to say that! HA!) I have had the opportunity to test for some AMAZING pdf pattern designers and one of my favorite designers is Astrid Novak over at {Sig}nature Creations!! Her patterns are so simple, if you're a beginner, you will seriously feel like you're a pro once you've tried her patterns...but the great thing about her patterns is that it also offers challenges for the pros too!! Anyone can use them!!!
I had the opportunity to test one of her newest patterns...The Olivia Dress (don't you just love that name!)
This dress makes me so happy, and with so many options, you're sure to find one that you love!! This is not just your basic knot dress, you can tie the straps in a bow, make button holes or just leave them as cute little knots!!
And oh my goodness, look at the ruffles on this bum....
Her instructions made doing these ruffles so easy!! So simple and easy to understand!!!
Another great thing about this pattern is that you can mash up the bodice with her other patterns, I love patterns that give me options...more for my money...YEAH!!
Well, there you go, a great dress, perfect for any occasion, perfect for any season, add a layering tee in the fall and winter, where it as is in the spring and summer! YOU CAN NOT GO WRONG WITH THIS ONE!!! :) So head on over to her etsy page, buy a pattern or two! You won't be disappointed! :) I'll leave ya' with a few pics! :)
Blessings and ♥- Adrian
