When I get the chance to share garments made using my fabric designs it's so exciting for me! Learning to sew clothing is a big life goal of mine, but until that happens, I rely on my friends who do it so well to showcase my fabrics in all the ways I can't! Today's Fleet & Flourish Blog Tour guest is one of my very favorite sewing friends and clothing maker! When I reached out to Alexis Wright of My Sweet Sunshine asking her to make something for the tour, she suggested making something for herself and I was delighted!
I sent Alexis several yards of my Fleet & Flourish knit Thriving Threads in Light and I love what she created! This pretty dress is the Bridgetown Backless Dress by pattern maker Sew House Seven!
Alexis looks so stunning in every single photo! It was hard to choose just a few to share. I especially love the open back!
Be sure to visit the My Sweet Sunshine BLOG to see more of Alexis' gorgeous photography and to read all the details about her Fleet & Flourish dress!
Besides creating this dress for the blog tour today, I want to share a few more inspiring garments Alexis made with my Fleet & Flourish strike-off & AGF's Pure Element solids to help me out with my full collection debut at International Quilt Market in Houston this past Fall!
I just love everything my sweet friend makes!!

ReplyDeleteNicole's quilt is my favorite this week, but if I had a little girl in my life, those little outfits would be on top of the list.
ReplyDeleteMy favorite is still the diamond star quilt from last week. However, asking me to choose is like picking a favorite offspring, haha.
ReplyDeleteI love all of the projects from this week but I am always impressed by the bags that so many talented people are able to make!

I had a hard time choosing a favorite. It was between Nicke's Noodlehead Poolside Tote and Nicole's beautiful quilt. I love them both. Of course, your fabric has a lot to do with how beautiful these projects turned out. I adore Fleet & Flourish.
ReplyDeleteI've been following your creative spirit on Bloglovin' for awhile. Love the new Fleet and Flourish fabric, especially the log cabin print.
