matching rayon pant set: simplicity 9756
Hey friends. Today on the blog, I’m sharing my recent make, Simplicity S9756. When I tell you that I love this pattern and recommend it….I LOVE this pattern and recommend it LOL!

Tencel Scuba Faux Wrap Dress: simplicity 9175
I whipped up this Simplicity 9175 pattern about a month ago. Although its a simple dress, I really liked the faux wrap detail on the front. I made the dress using this Tencel Modal Scuba from Melanated Fabrics. This fabric is so soft and its a great stable knit fabric. Think Ponte but lighter and softer! I love it so much!
Melanated Fabrics is OPEN!!
One of the things I’m most excited about is being able to create with fabrics from our store and share them with you. Everything thats in Melanated Fabrics was selected by Mimi G and I. We absolutely love selecting beautiful and quality fabrics to offer the community.
