Love Notions Newest Pattern~ The Serenade Top & Dress
The newest pattern from Love Notions released earlier this week. I was able to test this one and let me tell you~ I LOVE IT! I have never really worn wrap tops, mainly because being petite with a fuller bust they don’t generally fit me. This pattern has totally changed how I feel about wrap tops! I love that I can actually wear this AND actually move around and everything stays in place~ no tugging or readjusting! After testing was complete~ I went and sewed up another one before it released. That’s how you know I love this pattern!
The pattern is still on sale for $9.50 (through 9/14) and you can use my code MARYMAC10 to get an additional 10% off. You can grab the pattern HERE.
The other exciting news from Love Notions is the Serenade Sew Along! This is a 6-week sew along with Tami for just $15 (use my code for 10% off). This is something new for Love Notions and I think you may find it something that might enjoy! Whether it’s help on sewing the “tricky” parts, pattern fitting help or just motivation to get your Serenade sewn up I think it’s a great idea. (I think I may even join in!). You can get more information on the Serenade Sew Along HERE.
This is one pattern I am soooo excited to share with you!! Being petite, yet full busted~ I have never been a fan of woven wrap shirts, mainly because they NEVER fit me right! Imagine how surprised and elated I was when I made my Serenade top! I love it so much I’ve made 3!!!! I’ve already got several ideas for ones I want to make next Spring and Summer!! (Be sure to scroll to the end to see the Serenades I’m already planning for Spring/Summer!)
