As promised, I’m giving Sew Over It another go. I purchased the Clara pattern last month because as soon as I saw the silhouette, I was smitten. Smitten. Like this is the kind of pattern I want to make a million of. I was just hoping the sleeves wouldn’t be botched up. I proceeded with...
My dear friend who owns Jones & Vandermeer knows my great love of Liberty’s classic Wiltshire. She was so kind to send some of their new, exclusive color way to me to play with. Wiltshire always makes me go a little gaga, but with this color being exclusive, I felt like I needed to make...
I don’t know how you feel about clothes and the way you look in general, but for me, the way I present myself says a lot about who I am. I like for my clothes to reflect my personality. In the day to day grind at home, when I’m with the kids all day long,...
Last year I wrote a post about the Eve Dress by Sew Over It, which I made in a Rifle Paper Co rayon. I love that version, but there were some fit issues that became glaringly more apparent when I made the same dress in slightly more structured lawn. Since I painted the pattern in...
Dress week continues over here at Olivia Jane Handcrafted! I’m excited to show you another version of the Building Block Dress made with linen and a Japanese Hello Kitty Liberty print which I got from Jones & Vandermeer but can no longer find on the site. They have tons of other Liberty to choose from...

I love this blouse too! That blue on the flower goes perfectly with your jeans but the yellow shines so nicely and sets off your colouring so perfectly! Nice shaped blouse – I like the idea of tucks around the neck rather than a bust dart. I always have to do an fba so I’m learning to move that dart around to the neck and just making a couple of smaller darts there :) So I’m already onto this style 100%
I love your review. Very helpful… I think it is a must try… but was wondering if you could tell me if it shows your skin at the waist when you reach up? Yours is stunning!
No show! My jeans are below my navel and the shirt goes nearly to the top of my legs as it is, and doesn’t go very high when my hands are raised.
I love this, and I love the fabric! Was at Hobby Lobby today and didn’t see that one, although they had a few other floral crepes. Maybe I’ll luck into this one at some point!
This blouse looks really pretty, and I think I’ll give it a try. I’m always looking for a nice, basic blouse. Those pleats at the neck are very pretty! Thanks for your review!
It’s stunning and looks fantastic on you! I bought the pattern and am going to make it just like you did without the cuffs.
