Bubbles with Chloe

Meet Miss M she is all ready for one very hot summer here in Australia.

Her out fit is from Rebecca Page

Chloe Ladies Cami

and

Berry Bubbles Ladies Shorts

The Chloe Cami is very flowy, for this one I used two different linen blends

the linen gives it a bit of structure, I think my next one will be rayon so it's even more flowy

 The back comes with a few options, I particularly liked the double strap with the cross over. I used the fabric from the underneath layer for the crossover and the standard straps were the same as the top fabric 

The Berry Bubbles shorts have some really cool features like the button up front, I used kam snaps. It has a very flattering flat front and an elasticised waist. I am not generally a fan of elasticised waists for adult clothing but I have been really happy with the shape that Rebecca Page have achieved with elasticised waists. I did hack the pattern a little by altering the pockets, the original pattern had jean style pockets but I prefer the ease of inseam pockets

Miss M and I tucked up the top into the back to show her cute little shorts even more and it made me think this shape would make such a cute crop top, maybe a hack for me in the future.

Anyway better get back to my |Christmas sewing, still sooo much to sew and almost no time!!!!

A bit of ......

Sass? Class? either way the new Phoebe Dress from Rebecca Page is stunning!!!!!

I have gorgeous Miss Holly modelling for me again but she has grown up a little bit since her Pretty Pink photo shoot

The Phoebe Party Dress is FREE and comes with a couple of options.

If you want even more options you can buy the add-on pack, the options with that purchase is almost endless!!!!!

I chose the modesty panel option from the free version

I used stretch mesh for the centre modesty panel and the rest of the dress is a quilting cotton, I used Poplin for the lining

I went with an exposed zipper rather than an invisible zipper

For two reasons

1. I hate invisible zipper, I am not good at putting them in

2. It gave the back a bit of flashiness

I ended up drafting the skirt myself, it is a simple circle skirt, with horsehair braid.

I wish I had taken a photo of the inside because it is where this dress really shines. The bodice is made using the burrito roll method so that there are no exposed seams. It is such a professional finish, I was really impressed!!!!

This was one of my favourite photos of the Phoebe Party Dress because it looks just as cute with a pair of sneakers as it does with high heels 💓
