Another Stokx’s Summer Birdy, in the longer maxi length, sleeveless and collarless. I started with the size 6 and graded out the bottom to my waist and hip measurements plus the recommended ease. This is an incredibly comfortable dress for the summer heat and humidity. The arm scye is unaltered and is comfortable while completely covering my bra. The fabric was cotton poplin twill dead stock on super clearance at Fabric Mart several years ago. I bought it for toile’s and I have since fallen in love with it. Sadly, this is the last of it. Finished off with 18 snaps. Happy Sewing! #stokxbirdydress #fabricmart

Self care win! The pattern is Daughter Judy’s Genra blouse pattern. I missed wearing my summer version in lightweight linen so I made it in this medium weight brushed chambray. I actually used it inside out to maximize the comfort. I altered the fit a bit to my measurements. I have a relatively smaller bust, large biceps, and several sizes larger waist and hips. Not being a fan of boxy tops, I avoid drop shoulder patterns but this one just falls and feels great on me. The sleeves are both generous but not cumbersome when trying to work in it. I could easily wear tee shirt under it making it a great layering piece. The collar and curved facing are perfectly shaped for my frame. I adore the great hi/low hem with side vents. The back pleat adds just enough room for movement without adding too much volume. In the stiffer fabric it becomes possible to flip the collar up. I double stitched top stitching for an extra detail. Fabric was bought online from Fabric Mart and buttons are from Wawak. No affiliation, just sharing my make. Measurements 46:48:56. #daughterjudypatterns #fabricmart #wawaksewing #pfselfcare #punkfrockers #sewover50december
