What I’m Sewing This Week~
Unfortunately the only sewing I’ve gotten done this week is mending and altering!! However, my “needs fixing” pile has gotten much smaller! I’m still working in my closet and pulling stuff out. I have another pile of clothes to try on and make decisions about.
On the bright side I did clean up my sewing space a bit so I’m all ready to dive back into sewing for me!!!
I did get in a new gorgeous piece of rayon challis from Raspberry Creek Fabrics that I had custom printed. This will be sewn up into a promo for RCF and I’m currently deciding exactly what I want to make with it. My thoughts are leaning towards a midi length dress or a faux dress using the LN Caprice Skirt and an undecided top pattern. This weekend I need to make a decision on this and get started! In case you’ve never sewn with RCF rayon challis~ it is THE BEST!
Why is RCF rayon challis so special? RCF rayon challis simply isn’t as “shifty” as some rayons can be. Thus making it a dream to cut and sew. It truly is one of my most favorite fabrics to sew. If you’ve never sewn with rayon before~ RCF rayon challis is the best place to start.
Thanks for reading “The Weekly Stitch”! I’m so happy you took the time to “visit” my sewing room!

Remember to follow me over on Instagram to see all my latest makes! @sewmarymac
You can also follow my Facebook Page~ Sew Mary Mac. On this page you will find information on my makes from all pattern companies. If I know of any good sales(pattern or fabric) I will also feature this information. I have had many of my loyal followers send me friend requests on Facebook. I do post in the Love Notions group under Mary Anne MacLean, however this Facebook account is private. There is no sewing content on that Facebook Account.
Pattern Links~
NOTE: These are affiliate links. It costs you nothing to purchase from these links but they do give me credit for your purchase and provide me with a small commission. This helps fund my fabric stash which allows me to continue to test and review more patterns. Using the affiliate link also helps me cover the costs of maintaining my website. I have tried to avoid placing ads on my website so using my link helps me to continue to do that!
To receive an additional 10% off LN pattern prices, use my code 10MARYMAC. This coupon code can be used on any purchase as along as the order total is $8 or more. (This means that you can no longer get my 10% off one $6 Feature Friday pattern by itself.) Since this change has been made I would truly appreciate it if you used my affiliate links above to purchase the Feature Friday patterns so that I will get “credit” for the sale. (I do receive a small commission). I highly suggest adding on a kid’s pattern or a “Sale” pattern to your Feature Friday pattern order so you can get that discount!
NOTE: This code isn’t designed to work for the Me Made May Daily Sale, however it may work if you add another one of the “Sale” patterns on the LN website(simply click on SHOP, then SALE)
Blog Posts~ These will give you more details on each pattern, my sizing and alterations along with sewing tips for each specific pattern.

I just discovered your site. I have now bookmarked it to follow each day.
I sew a lot of Love Notions patterns, so this month has really been fun. I haven’t bought a lot of the patterns on MMM as I already had so many of them.
My favourite pattern (right now) is Rhapsody. I’ve been using Classic Tee a lot just recently as well and Vivace is a well used pattern in my collection too.

I’ve been reading your LN Trunk Show posts daily and have purchased the Sunday Romper and Willow Wrap Dress using your code (by the way, LN gave me an additional .50 off with your code for the Willow Wrap Dress).
Looking forward to seeing your new makes and reading what you have done to your past items to make them fit your new size.

I started sewing again with love notions patterns and found you when I was looking for extra help. And then through you I’ve branched out to pattern emporium and now I’m looking everywhere for fun new patterns. I appreciate your comments on how you’ve made changes to patterns. And because of you I’m the proud new owner of a constellation made out of swim fabric-perfect for a bike ride!

Your blog is very helpful. I appreciate the detailed info you offer for the patterns used. I love how you explain the pattern alterations you make to fit your body so perfectly. I also find it helpful when you talk about fabrics and how they work with the pattern. Excellent blog Mary. Thank you.

I look forward to reading your blog every week. It is chock full of information. I am envious of all of your Aria makes. I have sewn several short sleeve variations and want to get to work on some long sleeve Arias (especially color blocked in linen). I would have to say that one of my favorite Love Notions patterns is the Meadowlark. I just love the shorts version and have sewn up 4 pairs. I branched out to trying Pattern Emporium and the About town Popover top is fabulous. I want to try and get a pair of Getaway Shorts made today.
hope you have a sewing filled Sunday

I have been following your Friday postings for quite a while. Used your MaryMac10 code more than once. I particularly love how you show what you wore that week and am gobsmacked how far you bike sometimes. How on earth do you have time to sew? Anyway, just want to say thanks for your postings, I know they take effort and time. I have been hoping all month that the Muse was going to be a part of the offerings and yippee, here it is today. Off to purchase it now. Have a great day!

Thank you. I missed a couple of days and today was unable to buy the Muse. Something with my computer and the site I guess. I am still hoping to be able to buy that one. I know that some of you makes pushed me into buying a pattern I wasn’t sure of.

I’ve been reading your blog for a while now. I love seeing all of the sews. It’s awesome looking at what you wear and how you style the different patterns. Maybe I’m old school but I really appreciate the blog style. Whenever a new love notions pattern releases I like seeing if you’ve sewn it.
I’ve sewn a few love notions patterns and have liked most. I just have two newer little guys which has seriously cut into my sewing time. I’m starting to think my hobby is collecting sewing patterns rather than actually sewing them lol, but I make plans and sometimes actually scrape out enough time and energy to sew.
