Having made the Olympia dress once before, and being pleased with the result, I was keen to get involved with pattern testing the update. I made two different styles of dress by changing the fabric type and skirt length.

I was recently invited for my second pattern testing with Love Notions Sewing Patterns, this time updating a lounge wear pattern - The Luna Loungewear.

Just as I’ve finished a long sleeved, tee shirt weight, hoodie the sun comes out! The lovely light blue melange cotton jersey stretch fabric from the Minerva Core Range is great for that in-between weather when it’s too warm for a coat/sweatshirt but you still need a bit of coverage on your arms. The Terra Tunic from Love Notions Sewing Patterns is the perfect pairing for the fabric.

The Olympia Dress was my first make using a pattern from Love Notions Sewing Patterns & I was so impressed with the sizing, styles and methods of construction that I’ve now bought 12 different patterns from the company!
