• Did you know the #MarigoldDress includes a pattern for a skirt as well? And just like the dress, IT HAS POCKETS. Because we skirt wearers have things to carry. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Get the Marigold pattern at blankslatepatterns.com Here it's made in a rayon challis fabric.
  • Sylvia @theravelout hacked her #shorelineboatneck to add ruffles on the hips - and I love this creativity!
  • When I was younger I often skipped the muslin step of making a pattern, but as I grew older and more concerned with fit, it became a step I rarely miss. With pattern development multiple muslins are a fact of life. Excited about how this one turned out, can't wait to share more later!
  • My favorite Valentine on the last date night we had - which was back in December for his football banquet. We should probably make it a point to have a date night soon! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Hope you have a happy day celebrating whoever you love, whether it's a significant other, a friend, a pet, your family.
  • Slowly, oh so slowly, things in our new house are starting to feel normal and like home. Having my machines out helps. I can't wait to have a good chunk of quality sewing time!
  • Nicole @niczorek made a quilted #denvertunic and I think just the color is enough to keep me warm! So pretty.
  • Shared a hack to the #BlancTshirt on mellysews.com. You can head over there and see how to add this split hem to the Blanc (or any banded shirt). There’s also a direct link in our stories today. This sweatshirt has been on constant rotation for me.
  • Ingrid chose a bright and colorful floral for this #sorasweater. Great way to bring spring ahead a few months. :) 📷: @sewingridd
  • I intended to make a #tilleryskirt like this one last year and never finished it; maybe it's time to get to work!
  • Grace's creativity! She added a circle ruffle to the seam on the long sleeved #blanctshirt. Beautiful effect. @grace.creating

Sew This Look with Austin Tee

In our Instagram feed, we sometimes share RTW (ready-to-wear) looks that we come across that would be easy to recreate with a Blank Slate Pattern.

Sew This Look with Blank Slate Patterns

And this Austin Tee hack already has a full tutorial! Follow the steps in this post to modify your pattern pieces for it. And the best way to get tonal matching cotton gauze and jersey as shown in the sample might be to dye it yourself. See this post for how to dye fabric.
