I am SOOO excited about the the Feature Friday Pattern from Love Notions this week. This is the very first time the Timbre Top and Dress has been the Feature Friday pattern! I tested this pattern last summer and immediately sewed up a closet full of them! It is perfect for hot summer days yet transitions into fall as well. The Timbre is just $6 today, 8/29/2025. Use my code 10MARYMAC for an additional 10% off.
The Tinley Skort(and skirt and shorts) is the Feature Friday pattern over at Love Notions today! (5/16/25) The pattern is just $6 ~ so If you didn’t grab it during last week’s big sale be sure to grab it today. You can use my code LOVEMARY10LN for an extra 10% off. You can get the pattern HERE.
When the warm weather comes, I pull out my Tinley Skorts. I find them to be perfect for bike riding, walks, hiking and even just lounging around. If you don’t own this pattern~ I really think you should give it a try! This blog post is just about a simple hack for the elastic back waist. If you’d like to read all the details on the Tinley, please visit this blog post that includes fitting and sewing tips. Read that blog post HERE.
DISCLAIMER: If you’re expecting to see cute swimsuits sewn up in beautiful Raspberry Creek Fabric swim fabrics- you won’t find them here. (ok~ maybe at the very end.) BUT– you will see some other ways you can use this awesome swim fabric from RCF! Hopefully my blog post today will inspire you to grab some of these awesome swim fabrics and make something other than a swimsuit! Because we all know swim fabric isn’t just for bathing suits anymore!!! The fact that Raspberry Creek Swim fabric is UPF 50+ makes it great for any day/activity out in the sun.
