Simplicity Pattern 9785 Review
The trendy details you find in ready-to-wear today may not make it to the sewing pattern styles as quickly as we would like — if at all.

Dove Blouse Pattern Hack
Ok, I really like this Dove Blouse pattern. I love the bell sleeves. It is fun to wear, floaty, and feminine. When sewn up in this stunning stretch lace in a eye popping red, it is truly a showstopper. Bright red is a current fashion trend for fall and winter and always a seasonal favorite.
