I love the month of September. Where I live the crowds leave the beaches and it becomes what we call “local summer”. The days are warm enough to spend at the beach and in the ocean, but the nights turn cool and breezy. September is when I look forward to pulling out my cardigans! One of my most loved cardigans is the Boyfriend Cardigan from Love Notions.
What better way to celebrate the arrival of September than to grab the Boyfriend Cardigan pattern for just $5 today (3/22/24)
There are some patterns that are so good, you just sew them over and over. Imagine a top that makes you look great on your good days AND bad days. A top that is forgiving when you gain a few pounds here and there. A top that always makes you feel good about yourself. Sound too good to be true? Nope~ the Love Notions La Bella Donna or the LBD as we like to call it truly lives up to it’s name. “The Beautiful Woman” is exactly who you will be when wearing this top or tunic.
To see how I created one of my favorite Tee shirts, scroll down to see how I combine the LBD with the Classic Tee.

I wrote this blog post IN 2022, and I still love this blouse. The Ballad is perfect for Spring with the long or short sleeve versions.! I have created a short puffed sleeve with an added ruffle. You can read all about how to do that on this blog post HERE.
Today I wanted to share with you my newest Love Notions sew~ the Ballad Blouse! Along with a detailed review of the Ballad Blouse, I also wanted to discuss in detail my top tips for sewing this blouse! Keep reading to learn more!
This is such a perfect blouse for summer. Sewn in the right fabric it will keep you looking cool and comfortable all summer no matter how hot it gets where you live!

If you haven’t made a Rhapsody blouse…what are you waiting for? Don’t be like me and miss out on this awesome pattern any longer. Can you believe that I had never made one until just a few weeks ago. Fast forward to today~ and I now have 5!! Fast forward to 2025 and I think I have about 20 now!!!
I LOVE this pattern! My go to woven top pattern used to be the Harmony, and although I still love my Harmonys~ the Rhapsody has moved to the top! I find it so amazing that one blouse(and dress)pattern can create so many totally different blouses! A casual top to wear with jeans, a dressier blouse to wear to work, or a boho blouse to wear with linen pants~ the Rhapsody can do it all!
I HIGHLY recommend grabbing this week’s Love Notions Feature Friday pattern today (4/17/24) for $6. You will not be disappointed!
Someone once said “Sometimes all you need is music if you want to feel better.” I believe that all you need is a Melody if you want to feel better. Are you in a sewing funk, lost your sewjo, can’t decide what to make next? The Melody is the perfect pattern to get you going again. Because we all know that “A good melody is never out of fashion”.
The Melody is the $6 Feature Friday pattern today, 8/8/25. If you don’t have it~ be sure to grab it! Remember to use my code 10MARYMAC for an extra 10% off.
The Love Notions Cadence just got an update a couple years ago,~ and to my surprise my mindset got an update as well! I’m going to be totally honest here. I planned to make this a post simply about the updated Cadence, its options and how I made it to fit my pear shape. I made a top version and then a knee length dress. I was happy with them both. Then I went outside with my trusty tripod and took photos. And that’s when it hit me. Everything I thought before about fitting my body changed. Be sure to read down to the Sizing and Alterations section to learn what I discovered!
Oh yeah, and the Cadence is only $6 today, Friday 7/25/2025. Seriously go grab it~ you won’t be disappointed. This breezy shift style dress deserves a place in everyone’s closet! Remember to use my code 10MARYMAC for an additional 10% off.
