Hi there, makers! I would like to start this week’s round-up with an addendum from last week.  I made a mistake in the weekly #61, and I feel terrible about it!  I shared the latest line of patterns from Capitol Chic and said I was “not intrigued by the Gimlet dress“, which is the opposite of true.  I am incredibly intrigued by it (how could you not be – that neckline!).  The error has been fixed now. My hope is that most of you saw it for the mistake it was, because I try to make sure this roundup is a positive place where we support each other. Special thanks to a reader who emailed me to point out my error! You are the best 🙂

I love the casual elegance of this blouse from Sea Of Teal…also, giraffes.

I have not yet attempted workout leggings, but this pair from The Last Stitch is seriously tempting me.

Sew Busy Lizzy kills it with stripe placement this week.

There are some seriously gorgeous details on this great Style Arc Gabby blazer from Nikki Stitched.

Every time I see a Cheyanne Tunic from Threadbear Garments, I want to make it so badly!!
