This is the first project from my New Look $.99 pattern haul N6491. I got like 50 of them LOL. I have a lot of sewing ahead of me. As you can see the end result is a bit different because I didn’t like how the cups fit me. I had to pivot and use the bodice from another pattern, Butterick 5350. It came out perfect. In fact I think I will make a couple more and best of all, it has pockets!!!!! I cut the same size in both patterns and I made no adjustments at all. It was a very easy transition. #sumerdress ,#sewinglife, #N6491, #B5350, #memadedress, #sewingaddiction ,#sewingpatterns, #butterick ,#newlookpatterns

Nearly there with my #n6491 dress... just need to attach the straps to the back and hem 🤟 @simplicity_creative_group #sewingproject #sewinginspo #floraldress #newlookpatterns #memade #imakemyownclothes #cottonpopplin #cottonpopplindress #summerdress #slowfashion #dressmaking

Some sunshine dressing for your Sunday!⁠ ⁠ We are loving this bright and cheerful look from Nadège of @frenesie_et_moi. Nadège used a bold fabric from @gaspard_et_leonie and View B of New Look 6491 to create this look. It’s such a great combination for the warmer weather! ⁠ ⁠ Create your own sundress with N6491 from sewdirect.com.au/product/new-look-6491/ ⁠ ⁠ -⁠ ⁠ Image description:⁠ ⁠ Nadège, a white woman with long blonde and brown hair, stands in front of a brick wall.

I made a trial run of the #newlook6491 and can’t believe how quickly it came together, can’t wait to make it in some pretty sari fabric! #n6491 #newlookpatterns #memade #memademay #memademay2024 #toile

Happy Friday! Today, I am fashionably late, sharing my June @sewyourview dress. 🤫 Swipe for more pics! This is New Look #N6491 and I picked up this fabric from Hobby Lobby forever ago. 🌴 My toxic trait is that I buy pretty fabric and save it for the perfect project. 🤷🏽‍♀️ If this fabric doesn’t scream summer dress then I don’t know what does. I’m gonna share a quick a dirty review on my blog later today. This dress is a definite make if you’re looking for something cute and quick. Share your sewing toxic trait. We want to know. 😆 #sewyourview #diysummerdress #halterdress #newlookpatterns #summersewing #wearthedress #happygirlsaretheprettiest #leafprintdress #leafprints #floridasummers #toxictraits #matchingheadbands #hobbylobbymade #macys #incshoes

Needed to test a pattern before I used the fancy fabric on it so I went to the local @britishheartfoundationuk bought a duvet cover and this is the result. First time I’ve had to think about pattern placement and direction. And it’s lined …with an old bedsheet. All in - not bad for £3 #thriftyfashion #newlook6491 #6491 #n6491 #nl6491 #charityshopfind #upcycling #memademay2023 #sewersofinstagram #handmadewardrobe #duvetcover #duvetdress #refashion #remadefashion #duvettransformation #makedoandmend

I love my #2023topnine as much as you all do! ❤️ 1. @sewyourview project from last Feb. Pattern is #S9337 2. 2023 Family photos. I’m wearing #S8394 top and #S8381 skirt. 3. Over the summer I reached 5K on my insta and I celebrated with an @olisohome give away. 4. Sharing another #saguaroset from @fridaypatterncompany. I love this pattern. 5. This was our official @southfloridafrocktails 2023 announcement. South Florida Frocktails will be held on April 13, 2024 and tix will go on sale Jan 15th. 👀 6. This was my second #n6491 which I sewed live over on the ⏰ app. More live sewalongs coming in 2024! 7. This was my 15th wedding anniversary post. 🤵🏽+ 👰🏽 8. Photo of @26bydayana and I at South Florida Frocktails. 9. This was my faux fur jacket featured in @sewnmagazine where I did a tutorial on making a detachable hood. And that wraps up my 2023 top nine. These were all amazing moments of 2023 and I know there will be even better ones in 2024! ✨ #topnineposts #yourfavorite #memadeeveryday #isewmyownclothes #sewingblogger #diyfashion #fashionsewing #wearingvsstyling #handmadesewing #sewingpatterns #soveryjo #fortlauderdaleblogger

Season inappropriate pattern haul! I blame @minervadotcom for having a half price New Look patterns sale 😃. This little collection marks the beginning of my serious intention to create cool dresses for future summer holidays 😎 ✈️ ☀️. #n6731 I love the idea of this dress, the bare back is gorgeous, and the cutaway waist is potentially slimming. However, will it work on my body, will I stray into mutton/lamb territory, or, with the right fabric, will I get away with it? Can I create one of those boob hammock things inside? 🤔 #n6692 This was recommended to me when I asked for suggestions for summer dresses which would hide a bra, or potentially work without one. I mastered shirring this year, so I really fancy trying the shirred back on this one. #n6507 That big frill would hide free swinging bazookas 🫣. However, a total lack of support for the girls could well result in sweaty underboobs. But I fancy trying it! I could probably try piecing together a few left over bits of fabric to make a short one. #n6491 This pattern made me go searching for sew-in bra cups. I think I could slot a couple into this shape- particularly with that underbust seam. Again, I could maybe use some offcuts to play around with it. I like the halter neck version most. So all that’s left is for me to stop being so self conscious about my upper arms - the reason why I ALWAYS wear sleeves. My beautiful Nanna had the same hang up, whereas my Mam doesn’t seem to care. I see repulsive, short, fat arms with wrinkly loose skin, however my rational brain tells me that no-one looks or cares about my limbs. So this is also the beginning of a new Tanya, trying to be less hard on herself. 💪 @simplicitymccallsuk @sewover50 #sewover50 #sewover50september24 #newlookpatterns #summerdresses #isew #memadewardrobe #nobradress #summerwardrobe #holidaydresses #lovesewing #jecoudsdoncjesuis #cucire #sewersofinstagram #seamstresslife #dressmaker #sewingcommunity

Made this flowy satin mini dress for a friend. Made the bodice using Newlook 6491 and the bottom is a circle skirt.
