Megan Nielsen Sudley Dress/Top Hack
I think I have an obsession with Megan Nielsen dress patterns, there’s always so much potential to adapt and so many different variations to the patterns. When I saw this beautiful blue spot crepe fabric on the Minerva website loved it immediately and wasn’t sure what to make with it at first, then the Sudley Dress pattern came into my life and I knew it would be the perfect match. I wasn’t sure at first whether to make the dress version or a top from this fabric and in the end I settled on something in between. A sort of hack of the pattern to make a peplum top. Here’s…

Mira Dress by Fibre Mood – My Review…
I have been eyeing up the Mira dress by Fibre Mood pretty much since it came out. I absolutely love the boho style of this pattern, it has a touch of 70s style about it don’t you think?
