Hello! I have a brown colored velvet fabric at home (for about 3 meters) and I can’t decide what to do with it.  :) I was thinking maybe you could help me make up my mind about how to use it :D

Hi! As the winter is coming, it might be a good idea to get ready with chic outfits and velvet is indeed a nice choice when used wisely :P

How about a velvet dress? Combine it with a sheer fabric  or lace and get a great look. How about this? 

You can find many similar patterns to make this look. One of them could be the Swing Dress  from BurdaStyle. It is simple to sew and would turn into a very chic outfit if you just shorten the skirt a little and add a lace at the hem!

Or you can sew something like this which I have recently made as a summer dress: 

I have used a classic pattern from McCall’s (m6460). You can get more information about this project in this post: Polka Dots and Childish Dreams

Do not throw away the leftover fabric! You can make yourself a great necklace like this: 

Happy sewing! :)

AND MAKE ALTERNATIVE SUMMER CAPRI PANTS!

Hello everyone! I came up with the idea of adding colorful pieces to the leg hems of your favorite pants for the summer. It’s quite an easy and fun alteration. You can even use your jeans for this project!

In order to use this method, you need to have:

• any matching piece of fabric you’d like to use - make sure it’s a lightweight fabric
• and high spirits!
