It was a nice quiet week ~ got some sewing done and spent time with different family members. Dinner and walking the river boardwalk with my sister, a 31.5 mile bike ride with my husband and lunches with my daughters who came down from the city. It was a great week! Looking back it looks like it was Aria week!!

Feature Friday Pattern From Love Notions

The $6 Feature Friday pattern from Love Notions today,  8/8/2025 is the Melody Dolman. If you don’t own the Melody~ then you’re really missing out on a great pattern! Remember to use my code 10MARYMAC for an extra 10% off.  You can grab the pattern HERE. 

I wasn’t planning on sewing up a new Melody Dolman for this week’s Feature Friday. But then, I finished this new Caprice skirt and I knew a crisp white Melody was exactly what it needed!

So~ do you ever struggle getting your shirts like the Melody to “tie-up” nicely? Every time I tried to do it in the past, it just looked like a mess. Scroll all the way to the end to see the trick I’m using now!

Take A Hike…With The Meadowlark Pants

……A New Pattern Release From Love Notions!

I am so excited for this new pattern release! I jumped at the chance to test this new pattern, even though I NEVER sew pants for myself! I admit, I have a hard time finding pants that fit my full hipped and short body~ and I am amazed at how these fit me~ read more on that below.

The Meadowlark Hiking Pants are here! Hiking not your thing? No worries, I think you’re still gonna love them! They are on sale today, 7/29/25 through 8/4/25 for $9.50. You can use my code 10MARYMAC for an additional 10% off. You can grab the Meadowlark Pants pattern HERE.

Personally, I made these pants for bike riding. These will be great for when the weather cools down and I no longer want to wear my Tinley Skorts. But, these pants are great for just about any activity~ not just hiking! The Meadowlarks also sew up into the cutest pull on casual pant! I’ve somehow managed to take this hiking pants pattern to coastal preppy! See pics below!

The Weekly Stitch With Sew Mary Mac~ June 20, 2025

I’ve decided to try something new and write short weekly posts about what is going on in my sewing room. (OK maybe not weekly, but maybe twice per month). These will be short and simple posts that will highlight the patterns and fabrics that I used that week. Sometimes I will highlight upcoming projects too! Hopefully they will give you some inspiration!

My plan is to also to let all the fans of Love Notions Patterns know what pattern is the Feature Friday $6 pattern, because they really are such a great deal! With that being said, the $6 pattern from Love Notions today, 6/20/25 is the Juliet Top! It just so happens that I finished up two new Juliet tops over the weekend! I really do LOVE this pattern!
