Dottie Angel Simplicity dress pa % ttern and sew liberated metamorphic dress pattern

It’s been a looonnnng winter over here in the rainy Pacific Northwest. I’ve been consciously wearing my joy lately as it really helps me muster up more internal sunshine. I thought I’d share a couple of recent snaps of joy wearing….

My mom and I bought a new dress pattern and I’m loving it so! It’s a Simplicity/Dottie Angel pattern and I’m loving all the fabric combinations that are possible. I’m feeling really lucky that my mom loves making clothes for me. Grateful.

Boots here are old Keens and the turtleneck is Gudrun (SO COZY). Have you seen their Spring Catalog – SWOON!

Here’s another pattern we love. It’s the Metamorphic Dress pattern by Sew Liberated. It’s reversible, which I love, love, love.

The boots here are Martinos – perfect for snowy conditions and a pop of color. I can’t seem to get enough of that mustard yellow color now and always.

For those of you interested in joining me for the brand new Wear Your Joy™ class (fully updated and redesigned), I’d love to have you! We start April 1 – just in time for Spring!

Big love,
