Contemporary Sewing Patterns for the Modern Maker
The awesome thing about the Veronika skirt pattern is that it includes both woven and knit options. I love sewing with knits because it is so quick! The knit version comes together so simply, and today I will guide you through each step! My skirt is actually a half circle skirt as my fabric wasn’t quite big enough to accommodate the full circle. But don’t worry, the steps are exactly the same! My skirt will just be a little less full than yours.
So let’s get started! [Read more…]

Hello again! It’s Nastasia here for our first post of the Veronika Sewalong. The Veronika pattern is a circle skirt with a gorgeous twirl! And it’s been offered so generously to us all for FREE for simply signing up to the Megan Nielsen newsletter!

Hi there! My name is Nastasia. I am a mother of four, 3 girls and 1 boy, and I love to sew! My husband and I were both born and raised here in Las Vegas, NV and are now raising our own warm weather loving kids here.
I’m so excited to share this Rowan tiered dress tutorial with you! I love versatile basic patterns like the Rowan bodysuit and tee. It comes with several variations and the possibilities seem endless for adjustments and hacks of my own. I’ve been loving tiered dresses lately, so I of course love how this turned out!
This is a simple hack of adding gathered tiers, and the end results are fabulous. Although there’s a bit of math involved, don’t be discouraged! The adjustments are easy and it’s a quick sew. It’s also very forgiving since we are gathering the tiers. So if your measurements and cuts aren’t exact, your dress will still turn out great!
Here we go! [Read more…]
