Sharing my sewing passion while hoping to inspire your creativity to make something pretty, simply.

” let’s make something pretty “

There is something so rewarding about having created something yourself and seeing that idea come to life, whether it’s a gift for a friend, a decor piece, creating a me-made cozy home, or simply spoiling yourself with a pretty dress.

Today, I'm sewing up the Elaine Tie-Sleeve top sewing pattern I picked up from Tiana's Closet. I'm making this top from a beautiful floral sheet set I love! This tie-sleeve top was easy to make. You can sew it up in one day or stretch it over a weekend. I sewed up the size Medium-Large for the perfect fit. Tiana's sewing pattern for this top has a slit on the back. I opted out and chose not to do one for my top. My head fits the neck opening easily; it worked out for me. I love how simple this top is and how I can wear it with shorts, jeans, or a skirt. I can dress it up or down. The only thing I would change about this sewing pattern is the sleeves and ties. Although I love my new top, I'll make the sleeves and ties puffier next time to fit my style. I hope you'll enjoy sewing with me. 🪴Always-Michelle #sewingcommunity #freesewingpattern SUBSCRIBE _________________ Welcome back, friends! If you're new, welcome; I'm so happy you're here!
