He has even managed to win me over- a strict, no-pets, allergy-prone and self-proclaimed neat freak- with his lovable and playful personality. This is no small feat!</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: georgia;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: georgia;">He loves to play fetch, run around in the backyard and he has generally fun disposition. EXCEPT, he hates riding in the car... with a passion...!! He barks and whines and is generally nervous while riding in the car and it makes for some very, very, very long and stressful car rides for all involved.

When <a href="https://momsmeet.link/thevets" rel="nofollow" style="text-align: justify;" target="_blank">The Vets</a> initially contacted me to schedule the appointment, their availability was extremely limited time-wise and date-wise. Not at all convenient! There was a lot of back and forth before we finally found an appointment with minimal rearranging of schedules. Then, leading up to the appointment, I was contacted no less than five times via phone/text on top of several emails to confirm the appointment AND fill out the initial form (multiple times). While I appreciate the reminder, this felt excessive and tiresome.</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: georgia;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: georgia;">Overall, the in-house visit was very pleasant and MUCH easier than driving to a traditional vet visit.

Here are just a *few* reasons why I love to use nylon spandex for my WHOLE wardrobe:</div><div>-Requires very little (if any) ironing/pressing! ANYTHING that doesn't require me to pull out the iron is a WIN in my book! ;)</div><div>-<a href="https://www.thefabricfairy.com/" rel="nofollow" style="text-align: center;" target="_blank">The Fabric Fairy</a> Jaguar Pebble Waves Nylon Spandex has a cool hand and great drape- that means that not only is it flattering to wear (because of the drape), but it also feels GREAT to wear (and not too hot, either!)!</div><div>-Nylon spandex is made to take a beating (think sun, sand and chlorine) and this <a href="https://www.thefabricfairy.com/" rel="nofollow" style="text-align: center;" target="_blank">The Fabric Fairy</a> Jaguar Pebble Waves Nylon Spandex washed up beautifully while still retaining its vibrant color and texture.</div><div>-<a href="https://www.thefabricfairy.com/" rel="nofollow" style="text-align: center;" target="_blank">The Fabric Fairy</a> Jaguar Pebble Waves Nylon Spandex is not see-through- I can confidently wear this in an office setting OR on the beach (when sewn up as a bathing suit) and not have to worry about it being too see-through.</div><div>-Because of the 4-way stretch and characteristics of nylon spandex, <a href="https://www.thefabricfairy.com/" rel="nofollow" style="text-align: center;" target="_blank">The Fabric Fairy</a> Jaguar Pebble Waves Nylon Spandex has great stretch and recovery. This means that it can be stretched, and pulled and still spring back to shape without sagging and drooping- necessary fabric characteristics inside AND outside of the pool! ;)</div><div>-<a href="https://www.thefabricfairy.com/" rel="nofollow" style="text-align: center;" target="_blank">The Fabric Fairy</a> Jaguar Pebble Waves Nylon Spandex is so, sew easy to sew up and handle.

Now, I am working in a totally different town, company, team and environment than the one that I had previously been employed with for the past decade. The dress code is MUUUUCHHH more relaxed than my previous employer and I'm enjoying the more easy-going attire. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">For the longest time, I've wanted to do a capsule wardrobe (where you mix and match a set number of clothing pieces to come up with multiple outfits). So, with the start of a new job, I decided that this was my chance to do just that! While I shopped retail and/or my current closet for most of these items *gasp*, I just couldn't find a white and navy striped shirt that I loved/fit well to fill out my capsule wardrobe. SOoooo, I decided to sew my own!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">Full disclosure- I HATE sewing stripes- too much stripe matching and all that! ;) However, I was willing to bite the bullet with a large enough stripe, IF I could achieve my intended goal of a nautical shirt to round out my wardrobe. I found a great <a href="https://www.thefabricfairy.com/products/navy-and-white-1-inch-stripe-nylon-spandex-swimsuit-fabric" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">navy and white 1" stripe nylon spandex fabric</a> from <a href="https://www.thefabricfairy.com/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">The Fabric Fairy</a> to use for my dream shirt. This fabric is typically used for swimsuits but it makes a GREAT base for a top! It's cool to wear and has great stretch, drape and durability.

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 <a href="http://KnitFabric.com">KnitFabric.com</a> 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! </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">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.

Main magenta and patterned fabric are swim fabrics from the summer 2021 <a href="https://raspberrycreekfabrics.com/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Raspberry Creek Fabrics and Custom Printing</a> 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!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><br /></div></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhJthJmfmcGRt8y1HJg6LkShDtDO5GVThW3UChsseHKM4XPBjCGfONn3FRk_2ymnbXzKEA8bAa4stwrCNTkRzW2_g-v1sBelOtM1l12i2CJBcFqzjwyB4i1BHTbhVv7SieH2ZoMI1_0sH4/s576/Jessica-Front.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="576" data-original-width="432" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhJthJmfmcGRt8y1HJg6LkShDtDO5GVThW3UChsseHKM4XPBjCGfONn3FRk_2ymnbXzKEA8bAa4stwrCNTkRzW2_g-v1sBelOtM1l12i2CJBcFqzjwyB4i1BHTbhVv7SieH2ZoMI1_0sH4/s320/Jessica-Front.jpg" width="240" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://jalie.com/" rel="nofollow" style="text-align: justify;" target="_blank">Jalie Sewing Patterns</a>- Jessica Leggings with Pockets (4127)</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><div class="separator" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: justify;"><br /></div></div></div> <span style="background-color: white; line-height: 19.2px; text-align: center;">***Disclosure: "I did receive free patterns from </span><a href="https://jalie.com/" rel="nofollow" style="text-align: center;" target="_blank">Jalie Sewing Patterns</a><span>.</span><span style="background-color: white; line-height: 19.2px; text-align: center;"> </span><span style="background-color: white; line-height: 19.2px; text-align: center;">The opinions expressed here are my own."***</span><p></p>Heatherhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07596431256495194307noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3658816593708954427.post-79553622047720864642021-03-23T08:00:00.000-04:002021-03-23T08:00:05.038-04:00RCF Swimsuit Tour 2021- Sponsored Post<p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhYf9QI8N-o772R4Ifs5uEecARKFD7NNYgJ0OC2WLSz7N6eVPM3L8n085uc-1_gfSwpmewsC4wSslez7zONgja3r9aVhDEn-DWxgARt7kvB6TbQUwj10_rrdhd8WFOMvrxuIX2e_xvQxXI/s2048/Front.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2048" data-original-width="1536" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhYf9QI8N-o772R4Ifs5uEecARKFD7NNYgJ0OC2WLSz7N6eVPM3L8n085uc-1_gfSwpmewsC4wSslez7zONgja3r9aVhDEn-DWxgARt7kvB6TbQUwj10_rrdhd8WFOMvrxuIX2e_xvQxXI/s320/Front.jpg" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://jalie.com/" rel="nofollow" style="text-align: left;" target="_blank">Jalie</a><span style="text-align: left;"> </span><a href="https://jalie.com/products/diane-tank-swimsuit-sewing-pattern?currency=usd" rel="nofollow" style="text-align: left;" target="_blank">Diane Tank Swimsui</a> in <a href="https://raspberrycreekfabrics.com/" rel="nofollow" style="text-align: left;" target="_blank">Raspberry Creek Fabrics</a><span style="text-align: left;"> </span><a href="https://raspberrycreekfabrics.com/collections/swim-and-boardshort/products/peacock-green-orange-and-magenta-tie-dye-print-4-way-stretch-matte-swim-knit-fabric-club-fabrics" rel="nofollow" style="text-align: left;" target="_blank">Aqua Blue Orange and Magenta Tie Dye Print Swim</a></div><p></p><p>Swimmer Girl practically LIVES in swimsuits...!

I LOVE <a href="https://jalie.com/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Jalie Sewing Patterns</a> for many reasons; the wide size range- 28 sizes included in most patterns, the impeccable, professional drafting and the on-trend styling are just a few reasons to jump right into sewing <a href="https://jalie.com/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Jalie Sewing Patterns</a>!</div>

Hubs is a runner and he always needs a small space to stash his phone, key and maybe a quick pick-me-up while running. The <a href="https://jalie.com/jalie4023-stella-leggings-running-belt-beanie-sewing-pattern" rel="nofollow" style="text-align: center;" target="_blank">Jalie 4023- Stella Running Belt</a> was a simple 15 minute sew that can be easily customized to fit whatever you need to make the run go smoother.

For myself, I sewed up the <a href="https://jalie.com/jalie4015-elle-reversible-top-sewing-pattern" rel="nofollow" style="text-align: center;" target="_blank">Jalie 4015- Elle Reversible Top</a>. Like I mentioned above, I love when a pattern can be worn multiple ways- the <a href="https://jalie.com/jalie4015-elle-reversible-top-sewing-pattern" rel="nofollow" style="text-align: center;" target="_blank">Jalie 4015- Elle Reversible Top</a> can be worn with the criss-cross in the front OR the back! It's such a nice, flattering design element that I know will get lots of wear. I've had this sweater knit fabric in my personal fabric stash for YEARS but I believe I purchased it online from <a href="https://sosewenglishfabrics.com/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">So Sew English Fabrics</a>.<br />

Last summer, I purchased a ready-to-wear suit from Target for Missy. It had long sleeves and a zip-up front. She LOVED that suit and I desperately searched (to no avail) for a suitable pattern to recreate the look. Enter in the <a href="https://jalie.com/jalie4013-zoe-rashguard-swimsuit-sewing-pattern" rel="nofollow" style="text-align: center;" target="_blank">Jalie 4013- Zoe Long-Sleeve Front-Zip Swimsuit</a> and Ta-da!! Sleeves, zip-up front, full coverage, flattering lines- THE.PERFECT.SUIT!!

Happy January 2020! New Year, new start, new RESOLUTIONS! However, this post isn't about New Year's resolutions- rather, it's about a goal that my almost 10 (I can hardly believe that she'll be TEN in less than a month...!!) set at the beginning of her swim season...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Back in September 2019, with a full year of competition swimming under her belt, Missy was asked by her fourth grade teacher to make some goals for herself in the new school year. One of her goals was to make a "BB time" (a certain qualifying time that allows her to swim in age group sectionals for her region). Her two best strokes are the backstroke and butterfly. She had six chances in six meets to make it happen... and she did!! She made her qualifying "BB time" in her third meet (and very first away meet!) in 50y backstroke!! Woohoo!! I couldn't be prouder of her hard work, dedication, and practice! She definitely has a sense of athleticism that she clearly didn't inherit from me!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

<br /></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Now, because Missy swims year-round and because she is literally in the pool three to four days a week, it should go without saying that she goes through A LOT of swimsuits! A LOT! While I cannot sew her competition suits (those are strictly regulated- that's a good thing!), I do enjoy sewing her practice suits- it's her chance to show off her individual personality in a pool full of mermaids and sharks. ;) </div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
As my sewing has evolved and Missy has matured, I find that having her personally select fabrics makes the whole process more enjoyable for all. Missy's current favorite colors are teal and purple. So, when she laid eyes on <a href="https://www.thefabricfairy.com/collections/new/products/new-world-nylon-spandex-swimsuit-fabric" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">The Fabric Fairy New World Nylon Spandex Swimsuit fabric</a>, it was LOVE at first sight! It's just perfect and eye-popping on the <a href="https://jalie.com/3893-diane-tank-swimsuit-sewing-pattern" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Jalie (3893) Diane Tank Suit</a> (my go-to swimsuit pattern- the pattern comes together easily, is a great pattern to mix and match fabrics and is stays in place during practice)!

Missy swims year-round and that means that she's in the pool at least three times a week. That also means that she goes through a lot of suits, she's tough on them and that her swimsuits need to not only fit well, but withstand the stress and frequency of lap swimming and swim team drills. These are all reasons why I love sewing swimsuits!</div>

I did shorten the top to account for my height (5'-0"). The bust darts really help in giving the pattern shape and sets it apart from all other t-shirt patterns. The sloping of the armcyce is perfect- no gathers or creases of an ill-fitting garment, here! I can't WAIT to sew it up as a dress!</span></div>

<span style="text-align: center;">I sewed up a size "O" open back top. I used some thin jersey knit (found at Hobby Lobby) for the front and cotton lycra from <a href="https://www.facebook.com/PurpleseamstressFabric/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Purpleseamstress Fabrics</a> for the rest of the top. I love the detailing in this pattern! The racerback and cut-out opening look impressive but are easy to achieve (I promise!). The wrap-around back and slit sides give the top dimension and make it easy for the wearer to move.

Hello, lovely readers and welcome to my stop on the Basically <a href="https://jalie.com/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Jalie </a>Blog Tour! The Basically <a href="https://jalie.com/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Jalie </a>Blog Tour features over twenty bloggers, over the course of a week, using <a href="https://jalie.com/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Jalie </a>patterns as a wardrobe staple. Since February is my daughter's birthday month (!!) and since my daughter also swims competitively, we took <a href="https://jalie.com/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Jalie </a>to the pool! :)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Today, I'm featuring the #3889 (Melanie Kimono) and #3134 (Racerback Swimsuit). One of the (many) reasons that I love to sew up <a href="https://jalie.com/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Jalie </a>patterns is the fact that all <a href="https://jalie.com/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Jalie </a>patterns include 27 sizes- from toddler size 2 all the way to women's size 22 (US). That's a HUGE size range included in the price of one pattern. For a point of reference, I sewed up a size "O" in both patterns.</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="text-align: left;">#3134 (Racerback Swimsuit)</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
For the #3134 (Racerback Swimsuit), I didn't deviate from the pattern. I also didn't include the optional piping. Swimsuits (in general), can be difficult and time-consuming to piece together and sew. However, I find them greatly satisfying once completed. Plus, if I'm really honest, I really love the fact that I don't have to iron/press anything when sewing with swim fabric (haha!). ;-) </div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
For the #3889 (Melanie Kimono), I used a thick, mystery, border knit (I know, I know- the pattern suggests drapey wovens- I'm a rebel ;-). The fabric is a mix between a french terry and maybe a type of not-so-stretchy sweatshirt material- perfect for a chilly swimmer getting out of the pool, in between heats. Because I was cutting around that GORGEOUS border print, I did have to piece together the belt and I used ribbon for the belt loops. I LOVE how the Melanie Kimono came together- enclosed neckline seams and easy-to-wear drop shoulder sleeves.</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Also, thanks to my sew sister Ti, of <a href="http://simplybyti.com/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Simply by Ti</a>, I want to highlight the great swim fabric that I received from her online shop. The black and pink swimsuit fabric is thick and sturdy- just want you need in swim material. It was easy to sew up and didn't fall apart while assembling and sewing. Shipping from <a href="http://simplybyti.com/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Simply by Ti</a> (WY) to myself (NC) was fast and prompt. I would defiantly order from <a href="http://simplybyti.com/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Simply by Ti</a>, again.</div>

After consulting the included body measurement chart, I sewed up a size "T" (approximately equivalent to USA Size 6). I used cotton lycra for the turtleneck, a flowy, mystery poly-rayon from my stash for the body and a nice, lightweight rayon spandex for the sleeves.</div>

<span style="font-family: inherit;">Good-bye, July! Hello August! It's hard to believe, but Missy only has one more month of summer lovin' and then it's BACK TO SCHOOL as a big, smart THIRD GRADER!! It's crazy how fast this summer flew by!</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Missy's had a growth spurt, this summer- she now wears the same size shoe as I do...!!! So, I needed to make some fun, durable play clothes for school. The Made for Mermaids <a href="https://www.madeformermaids.com/product/bonny/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Bonny Leggings</a>, paired with the Made for Mermaids <a href="https://www.madeformermaids.com/product/paige/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Paige Piko Top</a>, make the perfect everyday school outfit! </div>

For a point of reference, both garments are a size ten. The Made for Mermaids <a href="https://www.madeformermaids.com/product/bonny/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Bonny Leggings</a> are shorties length sewn out of cotton lycra from one of my favorite online fabric shops, <a href="https://purpleseamstressfabric.com/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Purpleseamstress Fabrics</a>. The Made for Mermaids <a href="https://www.madeformermaids.com/product/paige/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Paige Piko Top</a> is the curved hem tunic length, half sleeve, out of mystery knit bought at Hancock Fabrics (eons, ago). Instead of knit binding on the <a href="https://www.madeformermaids.com/product/paige/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Paige Piko Top</a>, I used 1/2" picot elastic from <a href="https://prettyposhprints.com/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Pretty Posh Prints</a>.</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Both patterns are easy to sew, comfy to wear and they are in regular rotation on my sewing machine. Plus, did I mention that BOTH patterns are FREE?!?! Yay!!</div>

Summer is the PERFECT time to add a little lace to your me-made wardrobe! Lace is light, airy and adds a touch of femininity. I love using lace as an accent, overlay or trim!<br />

I chose to sew up the <a href="https://www.lovenotions.com/affiliates=36" rel="nofollow" style="text-align: center;" target="_blank">Love Notions</a> Rockford Raglan. For a point of reference, I sewed up a size Small, standard bust (this pattern also includes pattern PIECES for full bust), tunic length, 3/4 sleeve <a href="https://www.lovenotions.com/affiliates=36" rel="nofollow" style="text-align: center;" target="_blank">Love Notions</a> Rockford Raglan. I did NOT adjust for my height (5'-0") because I wanted to wear it as a fun, casual tunic. I used rayon spandex for the body of the <a href="https://www.lovenotions.com/affiliates=36" rel="nofollow" style="text-align: center;" target="_blank">Love Notions</a> Rockford Raglan and PRINTED lace cotton lycra for the sleeves. I also added 1 1/4" stretch lace trim to the bottom hem of the tunic. Sew fun!<br />

I really like sewing raglan style tops/dresses because they don't have set-in sleeves and I tend to find them faster to sew up. So, as a result, I've sewn up lots and lots of raglan patterns for myself and my daughter throughout the years (including <a href="https://www.lovenotions.com/affiliates=36" rel="nofollow" style="text-align: center;" target="_blank">Love Notions</a> girl's version, the Wrigley Raglan, seen <a href="http://allthingskaty.blogspot.com/2015/06/sewing-pattern-testing-love-notions.html" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">here</a>). What really stood out about the <a href="https://www.lovenotions.com/affiliates=36" rel="nofollow" style="text-align: center;" target="_blank">Love Notions</a> Rockford Raglan is the curve where the sleeves and front/back meet- it's perfectly curved to fit and flatter a woman's silhouette. I LOVE the fit and drape of the <a href="https://www.lovenotions.com/affiliates=36" rel="nofollow" style="text-align: center;" target="_blank">Love Notions</a> Rockford Raglan. It's fitted at the bust and drapes nicely everywhere else.</div>

The "lacy" sleeves of my <a href="https://www.lovenotions.com/affiliates=36" rel="nofollow" style="text-align: center;" target="_blank">Love Notions</a> Rockford Raglan dress up an otherwise casual tunic and would even pass the strictest of dress codes.

Meet Bobbie, The Magic V Neck (3880), another great pattern from the latest collection of patterns from <a href="https://jalie.com/" rel="nofollow" style="text-align: center;" target="_blank">Jalie Sewing Patterns</a>. This simple Dolman-style top features a flattering V neckline and ingenious inner facing that hides bra straps and keeps wardrobe malfunctions at bay. Perfection!</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I sewed up a size T top without any modifications. Because <span style="text-align: center;">Bobbie, The Magic V Neck (3880), does not have any set-in sleeves, sewing this up was a breeze. The simple inner facing creates a clean neckline and eliminates the need for neckbands and/or hemming. The style of this top is slightly loose without being baggy.</span></div>

Next up in the latest collect of <a href="https://jalie.com/" rel="nofollow" style="text-align: left;" target="_blank">Jalie Sewing Patterns</a>- The Julia Underwear (3886). This time, I sewed up a set of matching Julia panties and bralette for Missy. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
The Julia Underwear (3886) does require the use of foldover elastic (FOE) to finish the edges of the panties and create the straps for the bralette. This can be a bit fiddly but it's totally doable- take it from me (aka, FOE-adverse ;-)! Slow and steady is the name of the game when it comes to sewing with FOE.</div>

Step-by-step instructions with accompanying illustrated steps make sewing up The Julia Underwear (3886) set clear and simple. Because of <a href="https://jalie.com/" rel="nofollow" style="text-align: center;" target="_blank">Jalie Sewing Patterns</a> wide range of sizes, I was able to use a combination of sizes in order to create the perfect fit for my daughter. As I've found to be true with all <a href="https://jalie.com/" rel="nofollow" style="text-align: left;" target="_blank">Jalie Sewing Patterns</a>, the fit and sizing is perfection!</div>

The Julia Underwear (3886) is a great scrapbuster project and good staple wardrobe pattern.</div>

As part of their latest collection of patterns, <a href="https://jalie.com/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Jalie Sewing Patterns</a> just released a new top, the Mimosa T-shirt (#3890). The Mimosa T-shirt (#3890) features three different views- (A) short sleeve, roll-up sleeves with breast pocket, (B) long sleeve with flounce or (C) short self-tie sleeve. As with all all <a href="https://jalie.com/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Jalie Sewing Patterns</a>, sizes kids (F) through adult (GG) are included in the Mimosa T-shirt (#3890) PDF Sewing Pattern.</div>

<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I sewed up a size U, view (C) short self-tie sleeve Mimosa T-shirt (#3890). I used rayon spandex for the body of the shirt and cotton lycra for the neckband. Step-by-step instructions with accompanying line drawings make assembling and sewing this pattern a breeze. Plus, the Mimosa T-shirt (#3890) includes LAYERS (*cue the hallelujah chorus!)- that means you just print the size you need- no squiggly lines to match up and less to print. Anybody remember the dizzying array of lines of older <a href="https://jalie.com/" rel="nofollow" style="text-align: left;" target="_blank">Jalie Sewing Patterns</a>...I sure do! Woohoo!</div>

I love the little details of this pattern. The curved, split side seams and the short self-tie sleeves are such fun,feminine twists on the traditional "T-shirt"! I also love the fact that I can easily make Mommy and Me matching sets from just one pattern! The Mimosa T-shirt (#3890) is sure to be a wardrobe staple!</div>
