THIS DRESS IS AMAZING. Seriously, I love this dress. If I was rating patterns on a scale of 1-10 (which maybe I should) then I would rate this pattern a solid 10/10. The Elodie Wrap Dress by Closet Core Patterns is a wrap dress (duh) with knee, midi, or maxi-length options with short sleeves or …
The Persephone Pants by Anna Allen Clothing, is a pattern that I really wanted to love but just haven’t been able to. I have made three pairs of Persephone Pants so far. I made my first pair in my first year of sewing in a butterfly Rifle Paper Co. canvas. They were beautiful aesthetically, but …
