 crazy isolation and quarantining and social distancing and all of that is that I have been sewing like a maniac. So today the day that I'm filming this I have been at home alone self isolating for 25 days. I have barely left the house only to go to the food store and when I go there it's in it's out there's no like walking the aisles. It's like I have a list and I'm getting it and I'm leaving. So I've been home a lot and I've been very productive. So I have nine, no ten, ten projects to show you guys today. So enough chit chat let me get into it. Some of the things you've seen some of them you haven't so just be prepared. The first thing is the Niko top. I made this for the Stylemaker Fabrics Spring Style Tour. I wore it underneath the overalls if you remember. Here it is in all its regular glory without the overalls underneath it. If you saw the pattern review video or the tour stop I love this tank top and I don't know what it's taken me so long to make this. There will definitely definitely be more of them and this rib knit that I used to make it is truly so nice. Like it feels like something you would buy in the store and it would be super super expensive because it feels so good. Like it's it's a really nice rib knit. You can see it has a lot of stretch but also a lot of recovery stretch and recovery which is so important in rib knit so they don't all have that. But it was super easy to work with and you can go watch that video if you want to hear all the details about my Niko top. Next up okay so this is lovingly being called my Lisa dress because this is the dress with the story about how I ran out of fabric and one of my followers on Instagram saved me and sent me some from her stash so that I could finish it. It is McCalls 7538 and here it is. This has not been on the channel finished yet but here it is. I have filmed this dress in preparation for a pattern review. I have lots of thoughts about this and lots of things that I would do differently next time. So stay tuned for the full pattern review on this but it's very flattering. I got to admit the little crisscross is very like waist defining which is really nice. The fabric is a double brush ponti that I got forever and ever ago from Kali fabrics and it was kind of like a stash buster. Like I had a bunch of this left over and a little bit of this left over and so I thought well let me just put those two together and see what happens. So this is kind of like a kind of like a wearable muslin. It's kind of like free since I already had the fabric but I can't wait to tell you guys more about my Lisa dress and that'll be coming up soon soon soon on the channel. Okay so in the vein of being home a lot I thought you know what I need to be making some more like comfy clothes just to wear around the house. So I took Simplicity 8016 which is this knit top pattern and I basically took the UA and just made the hem all one length to produce a cute little like house dress nighty sleep dress thing from this fabric that I got at the clearance section at Joanne back when I lived in Charleston. So at least two maybe longer it was from the Nicole Miller line remember when they had that that's where this fabric is from. Again I did a little filming of this since I'm not leaving the house to film modeling videos you know where I pay prance around and do all that silly stuff. I'm doing them on my patio just to kind of you know not risk going out and coming across people I've been hearing horror stories about what the parks are like and so I'm just like let's just avoid all that but because I'm doing it from the comfort of my own home I thought I'll film myself in a nightgown like sure who cares. So I will be able to bring you guys a full pattern review with modeling on this little dress but it is really comfortable and it's like a rayon it's kind of like rayon jersey maybe so it's great I've slept in it I've worn it multiple days in a row and it's been really nice. So I do want to make another one and you'll hear more about that in my plans video out of another rayon jersey that I got at Joanne but I do like how the top fits so maybe I'll try out some of these like as it was intended tops as well but yeah so yeah the pattern review will have all of the ways that I changed it the length I ended up making it you know all that kind of good stuff. All right so these are my closet case jenny overalls you guys saw these again in the style maker spring style tour post obsessed I can't wait for isolation to end although it probably won't end until it's like too hot to wear these anymore but I do love them they're super comfortable they work in a lot of wear eventually and again you can go check out that video links in the description box for all these videos that I've already posted so go check those out same with this these are my so house seven burnhouse bibs you guys saw these remember I posted them for st patrick's day that never happened but um yeah I already have a full pattern reveal on these as well so you can see them on me you can see my thoughts about the fabric and about the um pattern and as an update to that video remember I was talking to you about how I thought they were too long so I washed them again so I pretty washed the fabric one time then I made them then I filmed the video and thought that the um inseam was too long but before I just went and hem them again I thought let me wash them one more time and see what happens and I do feel like it pulled them up a little little bit I mean not inches and inches or anything crazy like that but I do feel like a little bit they're pulled up and I also wore them with different shoes which I think helped a lot too so as an update I don't think they're too long anymore that's a long way of saying that but there's that okay so my style for this year so or for this month and I made the gelato blouse out of a swiss dot a mint green swiss dot I might add so I made view a that has the ruffles on the sleeve and the ruffles on the hem it also has a back button placket and just prepare yourselves little flowery rose buttons aren't those so cute um so yeah this is definitely you know I'm using all stash fabrics for so my style and so this is something that was very deep in the stash I don't even know where I got it but I didn't get it done in time but I do have a little bit of it left over and I want to make a matching headband using my Cricut um I told you guys about I guess there's a whole tutorial on how to make these kind of like twisty knot headbands and all of that I'll put it in the description box so you can find that video but I'm going to use that to cut out my Cricut and now that I already have all the work done all the cutting lines um established in design space I can just literally slap the fabric on a mat and send the mat through my machine and it does everything for me there's like literally no work at all so anyway so yeah I thought that turned out really really cute I don't have modeling pictures of this just yet but I will and it will be on the channel just like my Lisa dress okay that's all the clothing um one thing you've already seen is my Cricut maker machine cover and tool caddy I did a whole video on this a couple weeks ago so you guys can go check that out but it has like cute little pockets on the side I put a little maker decal like I said in the video I really want it like now that I'm now that it's all sewn I wish I would have put the maker right here and then put a handle up here to lift it up um but that's okay it's still really cute and covers my maker keeps it dust free uh link in the description box for this video and then something you haven't seen is I our eyes also started working on regular machine covers and I'm using this pattern the it's so easy by simplicity um what number is that e2106 that's not going to be right e2106 I guess that's right I've never seen an e before why am I out of breath I get very excited about the things I've made especially when it's a very productive month okay so I use this to uh make a sewing machine cover I also made the little caddy um but I haven't all cut out but I haven't actually sewn that one yet I started with my serger so this is my serger machine cover isn't that so so stinking cute all of these fabrics again came from my stash same thing with the cricket um cover all of that I already had I had a lot of like little cuts of cotton fabric and so that's what I used to make these and this is what the back looks like and then the inside is just some ugly fabric that I hated but I knew I would never see so I have this is my cover stitch so it says stitch and then I have one that for my serger that says serge and my sewing machine that says sew but yeah so that's really fun and drum roll please I want to hear everybody drum rolling on your lap or on your table or wherever you are because the trench coat is done I cannot believe I'm able to show this to you guys but look here she is with her buttons and all you can't really see she's not tall enough here let me look oh good she just came right off so here she is this was a two and a half year almost three year labor of love and I'm just so so happy that we're done I probably won't get to wear her until like September or October because I think the window has passed for a coat of this weight but um but yeah she's totally done I'll get her um videoed into like a full pattern review so you guys can see but anyways so there are my 10 makes from March I haven't made that many things in one month in a very long time in a very very long time and stay tuned for my makes video or my plans video because I have a lot of things planned um as well some really fun things some challenging things I took on some challenges this month with the um she's getting really heavy um with the uh both of those jumpsuit patterns the overalls and the bibs and I'm kind of elaborating on that a little bit anyways thank you guys so much for watching like all month long I've noticed a huge uptick in views and comments and people just engaging and I get why like it's not lost on me that you know we're all looking for an escape I just I'm happy that you guys choose me to be your escape and I will continue to be a place where you guys can come for happiness and lightness and fun and creativity um for as long as you'll let me so um let me know in the comment section below something you made this month that you're really really proud of whether it's like your trench coats like me that you've been working on forever and ever or if you finally tackled um some kind of garment that you've never sewn before or never been successful sewing before like pants were for me but that's going to do it for me today thank you all so much for watching and I will see you all very soon bye
