Sew Blue: Mommy and Me

Hello everyone. I hope all is well with you. This week has been sew productive for me. I have been trying to tackle some of my pattern stash, and some of my fave patterns are by Mimi G. Her style and skills are impeccable. I have been following her work since she started on YouTube, so it is very cool to see how far she has come. I purchased some fabric from one of my favorite fabric stores, Promenade Fabrics online and used it to make a killer dress for myself and a skirt for my lovely daughter.

Pattern used: For my dress, I used Simplicity 8221 by Mimi G and I self drafted my daughter’s pocketed skirt with fabric that I had left over.

Fabric Used: I used a blue floral cotton sateen that I purchased at promenadefabrics.com.

Modifications Made: The only modification that I made was to shorten the dress and sleeve length to match my 5’3″ frame.

Favorite detail: I loved the double collar on the dress, it made the dress so fashionable and chic.

Was this an easy pattern to sew?: This pattern may be a bit tricky for beginners, but Mimi G had a tutorial on YouTube, which is very helpful in making this dress.

Would you use this pattern again?: I would definitely use this pattern again. Fall is almost here, and this dress would look awesome with boots.
