Velvet robe I made for from a modified bathrobe pattern. Velvet is sooooo gorgeous but I’m going to be cleaning dark green lint out of my sewing machine for months 🥲
✂️ Pattern Details
Comfy Robe by IndiePatterns on Etsy
I added a lining + interior pockets, shortened the length by about 1/3, and added a ruffle to the sleeves and hem.
🪡 Fabric Details
Main fabric: Micro Velvet in Hunter Green
Lining & contrast: Stretch Polyester Tissue Faille in Hunter Green (it says stretch, but it’s not very stretchy!)
All fabric from
Photo taken at Shimmy’s performance at . Love the set design!
It’s been a hot minute since I shared any of my sewing on here! I made this Latin shirt for and was really happy with how it turned out 😊
Both the bodysuit and overshirt were made from a modified Jalie 2802 men’s bodysuit pattern. The modification is fairly simple once I worked it out - I’ll try to make a follow up with details on on how to do it if anyone is interested.

Selling this dance bodysuit - make me an offer!
Brand new sleeveless bodysuit with snaps at the crotch area. I took a design risk while making it for someone and it wasn’t to their taste, so passing it along to someone else who will enjoy it. 🙂
Sewn for a male figure & sized for 38-40 inches chest, 32-34 inches waist, and 39-41 inches hips. However, it’s quite stretchy and would likely fit a wider range well (my mannequin here is sized at the bottom of those ranges).
Made from spandex & power mesh with serged seams.
