2023 Pattern Haul (One Word: RETRO!) & Project Ideas! #sewingclothes #sewingpatterns #dressmaking

Today I'm sharing with you my 2023 Spring/Summer Pattern Haul and projects on the horizon! Specifically, I'm sharing with you my recent Simplicity and New Look pattern haul from Joann Fabrics! Summer and spring dressmaking--and sewing up a new summer wardrobe is in full gear and I am heavily inspired by retro fashion (1940's to 1960's styles) at the moment. I'm sharing several fabrics I found on sale at Joann's that I'll be using to try out these patterns and whip up some retro inspired looks, in addition to the New Look and Simplicity patterns I'll be using to create these looks.
