Jalie Sewing Patterns- Spring/Summer Collection Wrap up

...And that's a wrap...!! 

Hopefully, by now, you've had a chance to see throughout the blogosphere and web, all of the wonderful makes from the newest collection of Jalie Sewing Patterns! So many wonderful patterns, so many talented seamstresses and so many great interpretations, representation and fabric selections!

Today, we wrap up the end of the newest collection of Jalie Sewing Patterns by talking about the last three patterns that I sewed up.

First up, Laurent Crew Tee and Hoodie (4131). This relaxed fit, unisex crew pattern includes optional kangaroo pocket, optional hood and several hem/sleeve lengths/finishes. I sew up a size "T" in double brushed poly from one of my favorite online fabric retailers, the Purpleseamstress Fabrics (CRAZY FAST shipping, too!). Speaking of crazy fast, this pattern is crazy fast to sew up because it's a great simple wardrobe staple!

Next, I paired the Beatrice Tank Top (4135) with the Sylvie Cozy Lounge Pants and Shorts (4129) for a comfy summer set for Missy to wear during our hottest summer temps. Both were sewn in size "R" and both were sewn up using fabric from my stash. The inner waistband of the Sylie is a precious swim scrap from The Fabric Fairy.

Jalie Sewing Patterns are always a personal favorite! I love that the patterns can grow with my growing gal (because each pattern includes multiple sizes). I can always trust that the drafting, sizing and fit are spot-on. Each pattern piece includes (VERY!) helpful notches that ensure for seamless matching and construction. The newest collection includes all of this and more! Which pattern is your favorite? Which one do you want to sew up first? Let me know in the comments- I'd love to hear from you! :)

Jalie Sewing Patterns- Audrey Workout Top (4128)

Continuing with the release of Jalie Sewing Patterns' newest collection of PDF sewing patterns-  today is the release of the Audrey Workout Top (4128)! This pattern features a cropped racerback tank with integrated bra and optional pocket for removable bra cups. Jalie Sewing Patterns- Audrey Workout Top (4128) includes sizes "F" (20 1/2" bust) all the way through to size "GG" (51 1/8" bust). I love that all Jalie Sewing Patterns include a whole size range with the purchase of a single pattern- perfect for growing children and sewing for multiple models.

Based on the pattern recommendation of selecting the size by full bust, I sewed up a size "S" for Missy. I did not sew up the optional pocket for removable bra cups. I sewed up the Audrey Workout Top (4128) using Lululemon Dark Charcoal Athletic Knit from KnitFabric.com for the back and a cut up too-small T-shirt from Missy's wardrobe for the main. This pattern uses the "burrito method" of enclosing seams- something I typically dislike, but really appreciated in this pattern because it made for such a clean interior. The construction of the lining/shelf bra came together and fit so well! I love when the inside of a garment is just as pretty and clean as the outside! 

Some things to note: a) The shoulder seams of the lining and main do NOT match up and this is done on purpose to reduce bulk. I say this because I got a little confused when I cut and sewed.) b) I used a very thin athletic knit for the lining. This was perfect for not creating visible lines underneath the main fabric. However, if you are wanting a little more support, you may want to use a mesh or netting.

And, if you give a Sewing Mama a top pattern, such as the Jalie Sewing Patterns- Audrey Workout Top (4128), she's going to want to whip up some coordinating bottoms! Here, I paired the Jalie Sewing Patterns- Audrey Workout Top (4128) with one of our favorite Jalie Sewing Patterns, the Clara High Waisted Leggings (3887) in crop length- perfectly functional and appropriate for my active girl. ;)

Jalie Sewing Patterns- Featuring Jessica

Jalie Sewing Patterns- Jessica Leggings with Pockets (4127)

Jalie Sewing Patterns' newest collection is HERE (yay!) and today is release day for the Jessica Leggings with Pockets (4127). While the Jalie Sewing Patterns Clara Leggings will always have a special place in my sewing heart, I *think* the Jessica Leggings with Pockets may be my new favorite sew! 

Let's dive right in and see why!

Jalie Sewing Patterns- Jessica Leggings with Pockets (4127)

Based on the suggested hip measurement, I sewed up a size "R" Jessica Leggings with Pockets. With the help of Miss Tween, I came up with the finished fabric placement. Main magenta and patterned fabric are swim fabrics from the summer 2021 Raspberry Creek Fabrics and Custom Printing collection. Aqua pockets are leftover scraps of athletic from Hobby Lobby. The seamless front is flattering and the high waistband helps keep everything in place. Missy LOVES the cell phone pocket- big enough to fit an Iphone, snug enough to keep it secure. Missy wears a lot of leggings and I can see many more Jessica Leggings with Pockets (4127) sewn up in her near future!
