Cape season is here! 

Here are 5 DIY Capes for you make and love...

Elle Apparel has a 5 step DIY cape tutorial - she even leaves the edges frayed for a boho style look. I love how you could wear this so many ways.

In Honor of Design creates this cape using 2 yards of tweed and velvet ribbon as trim.

Merrick's Art makes a gorgeous wool blend fabric cape using less than 2 yards of fabric.

Hammers and High Heels creates this asymmetrical cape with a wood blend fabric - the collar gives it that wow factor

Me Sew Crazy created this Cape / Scarf with slits for her arms - looks so warm!

Enjoy!

Women's Swing Dress PDF pattern

A few weeks ago I was heading to my mom's birthday dinner and for some reason I had a few hours to myself before it was time to leave. You know what I did, don't you!? I headed straight to my sewing room and grabbed some silk fabric that I had been holding onto for over a year. I decided to go for it!

I wanted a flowy, a-line dress that reminded me of a swim coverup I had but I wanted to pleat the front to give it a more interesting detail. I love how it came out! Guess what? If you love it, it's out to testers right now! This pattern will debut Monday!!

You can make it in a flowy, lightweight knit / matte jersey / poly or poly blend / cotton or woven! You will LOVE this silhouette!

 Stay tuned!

above: This is my own version and I used a matte jersey - I sewed one size larger and normally I cut on the petite cutting line but this time I cut on the regular cutting line. To get a flowy look like this use a drapey material instead of a clingy knit. You can also extend the bottom cutting line 1 inch along the fold to give it extra flare!
