Mamma Can Do It - Classic T-Shirt Pattern

Hi everyone

I have been quiet on my blog for a little while, but not so quiet on Instagram.

I have been undecided whether to move my blog to another platform.  For now, I will remain here.

Recently I was chosen to test the Classic T-Shirt Pattern.  I like testing for this business when there is a women's pattern to test (as unfortunately I do not have children to test the children's patterns on). 

I like these patterns for their ease of sewing, but, most importantly, I really like communicating with the owner Elizabeth Singler, as she is such a lovely person to deal with and is very good in answering all your questions.

So, let me tell you about this pattern.

The Mamma Can Do It - Classic T-Shirt Pattern I made up was in the plus size range.  This pattern's sizing ranges from 14W to 40W.  The fabric that is meant to be used needs to have a 40% stretch to it.  My fabric had a 30% stretch, so I sized up and made the 22W.  It also comes in a regular sizing of 00 - 20 (you need to check the size charts to suit you).

Of course, it's Winter here in Melbourne, Australia; and of course I didn't have enough fabric to make it in long sleeves, so, short sleeves it was with an unintended seam on the back piece.  The fabric was purchased from @rathdownefabrics

I like the pendulum look to the bottom of this T-shirt, it is comfortable to wear.  Plus, I would like to make it up in a winter knit, make it with long sleeves and a polo neckline.

I would highly recommend this pattern for it's ease of putting the PDF pattern together to the instructions for construction.  It is quick and easy to sew up and comfortable to wear.  May need to make more of these for our summer!

Anyhow, if you want a quick and easy, well fitting pattern, this one is worth trying out.

Happy sewing.

Women's Adalynn Dress - Mamma Can Do It

I was selected to test the Mamma Can Do It - Women's Adalynn Dress. 

This dress comes in US sizes 00 - 20 and the fabric required is a 50%  stretch fabric.

I have worn the dress a few times since making it last week.  It is quick and easy to sew and the instructions are easy to follow. 

I like the look and fit of it, I would probably be reluctant to go into a larger size.  The sleeves look a little tight on this version of the dress on ME, but I can fix that next time around.  Or, I could use a fabric with more stretch in it.  However, these are me issues not the pattern.

Worn with a belt

Without a belt

My preference is to wear the dress with a belt.  I love the pockets.

This is a quick and easy dress to make.  The pattern also comes with the option of adding a ruffle to the hemline and long sleeves.  It's summer here at the moment, hence the reason that I've gone with the short sleeve version at the moment and I haven't added ruffles, because I'm not a ruffles sort of a girl!

I added some detail around the hems by using a red thread to finish the dress on my coverstitch machine.

The fabric has that denim look but is a stretch non woven fabric.  A nice look and feel.

This dress pattern is to be released on

If you are looking for a comfortable dress, this is it. Head on over to their page: https://mammacandoit.com/collections/women/products/the-adalynn-dress-women-00-20/?aff=132  This pattern is on sale on Wednesday.

Happy sewing everyone.
