The Weekly Stitch With Sew Mary Mac~ September 26, 2025

…………Welcome To My Sewing Room!

Band Camp With A Caprice Skirt

Feature Friday Pattern From Love Notions~

I’m so excited about the Band Camp Shirt’s very first Feature Friday! Today only, 9/26/25 you can buy the Ladies Band Camp Shirt AND the Men’s Band Camp Shirt for just $6 each. Remember using my code 10MARYMAC will get you an extra 10% off.

 I know I say this quite often but, you really NEED this pattern! It was a very satisfying sew, and much simpler to make than a traditional collared shirt due to its attached facing construction. So if you’ve been afraid to sew up a collared shirt, this is a pattern for YOU! 

This has to be one of the MOST versatile top pattern offered by Love Notions. It works perfectly for ALL the seasons! I love my sleeveless versions(I need more next summer), wear my short sleeved versions all the time and adore my long sleeved versions as well! This shirt really works year round!

Please be sure to click over to my blog post all about the Band Camp Shirts~ there is a ton of information there. I’ve updated it to include new photos AND talk a bit about how different fabrics create totally different looking shirts. All my sizing details are there as well as some sewing tips too.

Feature Friday Pattern From Love Notions

When I tested this pattern back in 2023, I gave it the “Sew Mary Mac” stamp of approval! I stick by that still!. The Lenox Top and Dress pattern is the $6 Feature Friday pattern today, 9/12/25. You use my code 10MARYMAC for an additional 10% off.

You may notice that the neckline on my bright pink Lenox if a tad higher than how it looks on others. I have raised the neckline on this version, to make it more suitable for me. For complete details on how I did this~ visit this blog post. On this post you will also see other examples of the Lenox top that I made during testing.

The Duet Trousers also come with a 30 page fitting workbook to help you with just about any fitting issue! I found this so helpful when I was making my wearable muslin a few years back.
