An appreciation post for stretch fabrics and outfits that don't require a bra for support ✨
I pattern tested the by & the by Road Trip Pattern Co. in the winter, I made two of each, and I have been surprised by how frequently I've been wearing them since!!! On days when a bra feels really overstimulating (which is way more common in the summer months for me), I've been reaching for these tops a LOT!
I also have been reaching for the by Sadie - Studio Sadoe a lot more frequently than I expected. It doesn't have a built in bra, but the one-piece nature and relaxed fit of it have been appealing to me a lot, too!
So, what to do? Create the best of both worlds! This morning I finished the by Made for Mermaids PDF Sewing Patterns with a double brushed poly from Surge Fabric Shop. I will say if you have not used a Made for Mermaids pattern before the instruction booklet can be a bit of a surprise... In my opinion it's very clunky and not nearly as clear and streamlined as most indie designs I use. But, it gets the job done and for the price point and many many view options I can't complain too much tbh.
Okay! Fit details! My measurements are 42" upper bust, 44" full bust, 38" waist, and 50" hips, and I am 5'2".
Wrenley Pattern - Size Yellow, no mods besides shortening the shorts inseam from 3" to 2" -- this was probably too short tbh, but 🤷🏻‍♀️
Crux Tank - Size 18, B Cup, I took 1" off each strap for the daisy version
Cloud Crop Tank - Size XL, D-cup, no mods!
Hollyhock Romper - Size 14, shortened torso length by 4", lengthened inseam by 4", and I added shoulder ties!
Oh & P.S. the rainbow gingham skirt is the by Noémie, size 20, no mods!

The Scarlet Elastic-Waist Pants by Emery are out now!!!!
I loveeee these pants & really need to make more! Most of these pictures are from back in March when I originally tested this pattern, and the first slide is from Me Made May which is my favorite way I've styled these pants so far 😍
Info: I made these in a Size 50 Height v1 out of a microfiber Target bedsheet! The dress in the first pic is self-drafted with fabric from Joann, and the shirt in the rest of the pics is thrifted!
And did I mention the pattern is free?! This pattern was also my first time doing true flat-felled seams and it made me fall in love with them!!!! I seriously adored the instructions for these pants and cannot recommend them enough 😍

Wow, lots of info dropped in this vid and I had to cut it down from 10 minutes of footage lol. Tldr, the is getting put on pause so I can get ready for my wedding (!!!) in a month. & I'm also working on my second pattern, so there's a sneak peak of the that will eventually hopefully be amazing, for now it's a little wonky. Let's make myself a wedding dress folks!!!!
Sincerely,
This nonbinary bride who still doesn't know how they feel about gendered labels like bride 🤷🏻‍♀️

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO ME!!!!
I forced my baby girls to do a photo shoot with me and Suzie refused to look at the camera in protest 😂 and and the lighting was awful but we do what we can!
All our outfits are me-made ofc! And shockingly none of them were made recently or special for today. The girls' dress patterns are traced off their harnesses with an added gathered rectangle skirt. My skirt is a double circle skirt gathered into a rectangle waistband, and my top is the Gladys Top pattern from Stitch Witch Patterns! All fabrics were from Joann, except the fabric of the top is from my local quilt store 😍
Shoutout to my RTW bike shorts for poking through in half the pictures as well lol
I was hoping to not only have a fresh made for today, but I also wanted to put out the pattern tester call today too! Unfortunately, things are taking longer than expected but I'm trying to give myself grace!!! 🌟
