Sew A Vacation Wardrobe With Love Notions & Mary Mac

…Spring 2024 40% Off Sale

This week, April 29 – May 3, 2024, all Love Notions patterns and courses(excluding the Crescendo Jeans) will be 40% off! This doesn’t happen very often, so I highly suggest grabbing any patterns(and courses) you really want to sew up soon! You can use my code 10LOVEMARY which will give you an additional 10% off the sale prices.

Which Patterns Should You Buy?

Need help deciding which patterns to grab during this sale? First, I recommend buying the recent new releases (except Crescendo Jeans) such as the Encore Skirt, Clef Coat ( Bass and Treble Clefs too), and the Aurora Tunic and dress. These patterns may have released during the Winter months, however they all work perfectly for Summer too!

This is also a great time to pick up any of the recent $5 Feature Friday patterns that you may have missed. Patterns are only featured for $5 once a year, so if you missed one~ now is the time to grab it! The Willow Wrap Dress, Vivace, Aria Button Down and Tinley were all recently featured and are so perfect for Summer!

I’m so excited for Summer to get here, and I’ve just about finished all the sewing for my vacations. My husband and I tend to stay home during the winter months (he’s a New Englander and loves the cold). When June comes I am ready to visit my favorite summer spots!

Viva La Vivace

A Versatile Pattern from Love Notions

Looking for a quick sew? Want something as comfy as a basic Tee, but elevated? Then the Vivace Dolman is the perfect pattern for you! I’ll be honest, when this pattern first was released, I had no interest in making one because dolman sleeves typically don’t look great on me. I should know better by now, because I think every Love Notions Dolman top looks good on me ( the La Bella Donna and Melody).  Last year when it was the $5 Friday pattern, I quickly sewed one up and I kicked myself for not sewing one up sooner. Its’ relaxed fit makes it cool to wear in warmer weather yet it’s also perfect in the cooler weather layered underneath a cardigan. And I just LOVE the cute overlapped V-neck!

In honor of today’s Feature Friday, I’ve sewn up another Vivace ( it’s hot off the machine!!) AND written a blog post all about it! The Vivace is just $5 today, 2/2/24, and you can get an extra 10% off by using the code 10LOVEMARY.
