Sponsored Post- Sly Fox Fabrics- Twilight's Kiss in PIum

I love a pretty floral french terry fabric and the "Twilight's Kiss in Plum" from Sly Fox Fabrics is GORGEOUS!! It's soft to the touch, easy to work with and so cozy!

When I first saw this fabric, I just *knew* that it needed to become a Love Notions Boyfriend Cardigan. For a point of reference, this is a size small, long sleeve, shawl collar, side vent Love Notions Boyfriend Cardigan (with modifications for my 5'-0" height ;).

The "Twilight's Kiss in Plum" from Sly Fox Fabrics is so pretty in person! I didn't have any trouble washing it up and I had zero issues with color bleeding (thanks for the included color catcher, Sly Fox Fabrics!). The french terry side of the fabric is soft- this is a baby french terry, by the way- and there were no pulls and the fabric was tightly woven. I was really impressed with the quality of the fabric from Sly Fox Fabrics. It was nice and thick with even repeats.

Sewing Pattern Testing- Patterns for Pirates- Boho Babydoll pattern

Patterns for Pirates Boho Babydoll Dress

Hello, Readers! Today, I'm here to share a recent sewing pattern test, the Patterns for Pirates Boho Babydoll Dress. This is a fun dress to sew AND wear!

First, let's talk about the Patterns for Pirates Boho Babydoll Dress pattern. This pattern is written for sizes 3m-14y. It includes multiple sleeve lengths and hemlines. The pattern pieces are layered and trimless (save a tree by printing only the pages you need/want- yay!). Step-by-step pictures accompany written instructions. Size chart, finished measurements and fabric requirements are all included in the pattern.

I sewed up a size 10w/8l mash, high/low, maxi-length, ruffle sleeves Boho Babydoll Dress. Aqua cotton lycra bodice fabric is from the Purpleseamstress Fabrics. Tropical print skirt fabric is a very thin jersey knit from a Sincerely Rylee mystery box. *Note* When doing the maxi version, I found it best to use a thinner knit material for the skirt because it can weigh down the bodice. The Boho Babydoll Dress went through several iterations throughout the testing process (that's what testing is all about!), but I think the ladies behind Patterns for Pirates got it JUST right in the end. :-) (Note, my pictures may differ slightly from the final pattern because of this).

The curved empire waist on the Patterns for Pirates Boho Babydoll Dress is flattering on my daughter and she LOOOVES the maxi-length! The ruffled sleeves are a fun feature and they aren't so long that they interfere with regular eight-year-old play ;-P.
