  • New Spring 2022 Sewing Patterns for Prom Dresses- Vogue Patterns

    February 24, 2022 /

    A few days ago, I talked about Simplicity and New Look Spring 2022 sewing patterns that could be used to make prom dresses. At the time I wrote the post, there was only one other pattern company with a Spring 2022 pattern collection available for purchase: Vogue Patterns. Vogue Pattern’s Spring 2022 collection has many patterns I like, but not as many I like as prom dresses. Some may disagree with me, but I didn’t see many patterns that would make prom dresses that are popular this year. Despite this, I wanted to write a post about the Spring 2022 patterns that could potentially make a prom dress or a…

  • New Spring 2022 Sewing Patterns for Prom Dresses- Simplicity and New Look

    February 22, 2022 /

    A few weeks ago, I wrote four posts about sewing patterns I think could make prom dresses. Since then, two of the big four sewing pattern companies released their Spring 2022 pattern collections. In these releases, there are new formal patterns as well as dress patterns that could work as prom dresses. Since there are so many dress and formal clothing patterns to pick from, I wanted to write new posts about these patterns. For this new series of posts, I’m starting with Simplicity patterns. Along with Simplicity, I will also talk about a New Look sewing pattern that is new for Spring 2022 and I think could work as…

  • Favorite Prom Dress Sewing Patterns for 2022- McCall’s Part 2

    February 3, 2022 /

    Well, today is the final post about my favorite prom dress sewing patterns for 2022! I found so many McCall’s patterns I think could work as sewing patterns for prom dresses I decided to slip the patterns into two posts. This is part two. You can read part one here. As with the previous McCall’s pattern post, I wanted to mention that I didn’t choose patterns from the Spring 2022 collection. When I created this list, the collection was unavailable, so I couldn’t include the patterns in this post.

    February 1, 2022 /

    For the past few posts, I talked about the sewing patterns I think will make great prom dresses. There is one pattern company I have yet to talk about: McCall’s. When I searched McCall’s website for sewing patterns, I found more dress patterns than for any other company. Since I have so many patterns to talk about, I decided to split the patterns into two posts. Also, all the patterns I will be talking about do not include Spring 2022 pattern releases. When I wrote this post, the spring pattern collection was not available at that time. So, I included the patterns from previous collections.

    Continuing with my series of posts about my favorite prom dress patterns, I wanted to include dresses from Vogue Patterns. Vogue Patterns is one of the most fashion forward pattern companies that I looked at for prom dress patterns. When I looked at the special occasion patterns, I found many patterns that make pretty dresses, but I didn’t find many that would be great for teens or would be modest enough to be appropriate for potential prom dress codes. Even though I was worried I couldn’t find any patterns for teens, I found seven patterns that could potentially be good options for prom dresses.

    It’s almost the time of the year when prom season begins! I love this time of the year because I enjoy looking at the new formal dress trends at the store. Even though it will be a while before prom season begins, it is the right time for anyone planning to sew their own prom dress to begin searching for patterns, fabric, sewing supplies, and to start sewing it. I wanted to write a post about the prom dress appropriate patterns available for a few years, but never did. This year, I had some time to write posts for every pattern company I wanted to talk about. For the first…

    Hi everyone! I’ve been going through my fabric stash to see what I would like to work on and when I want to work on it. One of my sewing goals for the year is to put more effort into using my fabric stash instead of buying new fabric. I will buy new fabric only when I need to, but ideally my projects will need to include some of my fabric from my fabric stash. I’m not sure how well this will work out, but I’m optimistic I can work on all the sewing projects I wanted to for many years but couldn’t. So far I’ve found fabric for many…
