FREE PATTERN : Isabella Shirt

Hi guys! Today i have a free pattern to share with you!

Introducing... the Isabella Shirt!! 

I started sewing this shirt way back in 2013 when I couldn't justify paying a couple bucks for a PDF pattern. Ha! I was just getting started into sewing for myself, and didn't want to dish out money for something I might not ever use again.. you know, if I decided sewing wasn't my thang?? haha. Now I own a ton of patterns I have yet to sew!!

Anyway.. back to the Isabella. I based this pattern off from a favorite RTW shirt of mine! I made three shirts once I had the pattern traced. They are great summer staples, and are also great under a blazer or cardigan for chillier days. Can be made casual or dressy, depending on your fabric choice. Really, you can't go wrong with this pattern. :) 

I love this pattern so much, i thought you would too! I digitized the pattern to share with you guys. Unfortunately though, this isn't graded and only comes in one size. It will probably only fit a XS-S frame. :(

I don't have the instructions ready for you yet, but if we wait for that it might take months(or never) before i could share this with you. Publishing this blog post alone already took me 2 years! Haha. (I had the pattern ready in 2014, but was too lazy to write about it.)

So, after 2 years of procrastination, i offer you the Isabella Shirt! <-that a="" download="" is="" link="" lol="" p="">

You can see a sample of the shirt I made here.

I wont have the instructions ready for you anytime soon, but I will try! I can't promise. LOL.

PLEASE READ BEFORE PRINTING!! Here are some tips to help get you by without the complete/detailed instructions. 

- I don't have a print scale check box thingy, but please make sure to print at 100% or actual size.

- The pattern pieces do not have borders or markers(but i might update it), please try your best to line up the pages and cut the left and top parts equally, use the first page as guide.

- Please cut along the outer lines. That is the pattern piece with seam and hem allowance included.

- Please fold twice 3/8" for the hem. :) 

- Fold twice 1" for the button placket.

- Please use the inner lines as guide as to how your finished garment should look like.

- Use bias tape for the arm holes.

- Use 6 buttons, and space them equally throughout the button placket.

That's all, I guess.

Happy sewing! :)

Free Bow Pattern!!

Hi!! Today i have a free pattern for you!! 

A simple classic bow for your little one!!

You can get the free pattern here.

First, gather your supplies.

You will need:

1. 4"x12" of fabric

2. 1"x 2" of fabric

3. Hot glue

4. Elastic

Cut out the pattern piece. Stitch about 1/4" from edge of the sides but leave about an inch and a half opening on the middle. Turn. Press if you want, i didn't. :P

Fold this way, and stitch along the middle.

Pinch this way, and put a dab of hot glue in between those little folds. 

Fold the rectangular piece of fabric and wrap around the middle. Hot glue into place and cut off excess fabric. You could also choose to hand stitch, if you want.

Cut two lengths of elastic. One 16" and 1.5". Zigzag stitch on the ends of the longer piece. Wrap it with the shorter piece, and put a dab of hot glue.

Attach the bow and you're done!!

Here's the finished result.

Cute isn't it?? 

This will take about 15 minutes to make. Now what are you waiting for? Get all your scraps and start making them bows!! ;P

Thanks for stopping by!!!

Sundress : Free PDF Pattern!

 Today i have a free PDF Pattern for you guys!! Its a sundress in a size 5T, although it could easily fit a 4 or 6 year old. You'll just have to lengthen/shorten the skirt and tighten/loosen the elastic.

It's elasticized with a tie back. I will try to upload a tutorial when i find time, but right now you can download the pattern HERE.

 

If i could, i would also grade the pattern from 2T - 8. But I'm going to need some testers. If you are interested, please shoot me an e-mail with the size you are interested in at diorellanaoe@gmail.com.

Also, if you have any trouble with the pattern, please let me know. Enjoy, and don't forget to smile!
