Love Notions~
The “Woven Wonders” Collection sale is over~ I hope you grabbed any of those patterns that you needed/wanted! Be on the look out in August for the next sale collection!
I know that many of you are missing “Feature Friday” $5 pattern sales each Friday but each month going forward there will be a new collection of patterns (with a theme) that will be on sale for an entire 2 weeks. Typically each collection will feature at least 5 patterns, one course and one printed pattern. Tentative dates for the next Collection Sale are August 7-20. No worries, the Weekly Stitch will keep you updated!!
Pattern Emporium Friday 50% Off Pattern Is~ Heartlight Skirt
The Heartlight Skirt sewing pattern features a timeless fit & flare silhouette with a soft, comfortable waistband and beautifully flowing shape. Available in multiple lengths, it’s just as suited to everyday wear as it is to dressing up, making it a versatile wardrobe staple you’ll reach for again and again
You can grab the pattern HERE. Pattern is on sale for $5.50 USD
Remember PE in an Australian company so this sale will end Friday night at 10 PM EST.
*Some readers have wondered why I have started including the weekly(almost) pattern sales from Pattern Emporium. Although this pattern company has been around for awhile, I have just sewn only one of their patterns. I have however purchased several of them! I have been using the Friday 50% sales to build up my PE pattern collection. As time goes on, I will be able to show you more of my PE makes and include some blog posts dedicated to PE patterns.
I was VERY impressed with the pattern instructions and the construction techniques! My very first job (at Simplicity Pattern Co.) was as a technical writer and one of my jobs was to determine if there were any corrections or adjustments to be done to the “Primer” or instruction sheet. I also wrote educational materials and answered the questions sent into the Simplicity Magazine each month.
Fabric Release From Raspberry Creek Fabrics~ Coming Tuesday, August 4
The Fall Club Collection will release next Tuesday 8/4. This includes all the new Fall Club prints that are available on French Terry, Cotton Jersey, Double Brushed Poly and Rib knit. New this release any print that is available on French Terry or Cotton Jersey will also be offered on the Supreme Shirting Broadcloth. Any print that is available on DBP or Rib knit will also be available on Sweatshirt fleece and Ponte! For those of you that may be newer to RCF~ Club Collections are released a few times a year and the retire when the next season is released. For example~ Summer Club will retire when the Fall Collection releases. Holiday Collections typically retire the day after that holiday. It is always less expensive to purchase a current collection that to custom print. During the first week of a release they are also $1 off per yard.
In addition, the new Club prints on Stretch Crepe, Rayon Challis and Ponte will also be releasing the same day!!! So much to choose from. Again, they will be on sale $1 off per yard during the release week. This is a great opportunity to order from both new lines at release week pricing AND save on some shipping!!
If you’ve been a reader of the Sew Mary Mac blog for a bit, then you know that I LOVE RCF rayon challis!
I can’t show any sneak peeks this time around~ but I’ll come back to this post on Tuesday to add some of the prints and my makes!!

What I Wore Last Week~
As you may be able to tell, I’m still pulling items from the back of my closet! I’ve been wearing a mix of new makes and really old makes.
- LN Melody Dolman ~ in a cotton gingham ( my wearable muslin for this pattern back in 2022?)
- LN Rhapsody Blouse~ in a rayon crepe from Style Maker Fabrics with Trumpet sleeve
- PE About Town Popover ~ in a seersucker stripe from Mood Fabrics, NYC Garment District
- Helen’s Closet Yoke Pinafore~ in a Japanese Cotton
- I don’t love this worn with a tank~however our air conditioning wasn’t working and I was trying to stay cool. Luckily it is all fixed now!!
- LN Willow Wrap Dress~ in an ITY knit from Zelouf Fabrics, NYC
- I included an up close pic of the ITY fabric, as it never photographs very well when worn. It is much more navy blue in person~ the modeled photo looks like it is more white with navy.
- LN Caprice Skirt~ in linen blend from my deep stash (one of the many I made when this pattern released)
- I took 2 photos to show how I wore it that day. At home, I wore it with just a RTW tank, when I went out to lunch I threw on a little J Crew cardigan that I bought last fall.
