Ellie and Mac Patterns

If you're looking for patterns that have reasonable prices, look at Ellie and Mac Patterns.  They have beautiful patterns for kids, women, and men.  They also have YouTube sew-along videos that come in handy if you're having problems with the patterns.

Here are some patterns that I've made using their patterns:

I used the Tres Belle Wrap Pattern to make this maternity dress for my niece.  I made it by shorting the bodice and putting on a gathered skirt. I wanted to make it with the double-folded skirt thinking that that would make it wider but it wasn't working out for me.  I went back to the Facebook group and asked for help and they said gathering the skirt would be better which I did.  The only thing is with the gathered skirt I could have put pockets and I didn't I was still upset about the double fold that I forgot to add it.  Ugh. But she's asking for another one so I might just add the pockets next time.  Fabric: Joann Fabric Store.

This next one is the Be Brilliant Swimsuit Pattern that I used to make my great-niece and her sisters a bathing suit for their brother's baby shower.  I made it in zebra print because the theme it was zebras.  I thought it would have been perfect for the occasion, which it did.  All the girls had the same pattern but different colors of pants and a skirt.  Fabric: Etsy TiasSewingTidbits

Here is the Invincible Skort Pattern.  This one I made for my granddaughters and they loved it. They just recently added an Invincible Skort for women...go check it out. Fabric: Joann Fabric

 

Last but not least, Monday Morning Dress Pattern, my model is my Mom.  I love the way this came out and how beautiful it fits her. It was very easy to make too.  Fabric: Olga's Closet   What do you think?

Remember if you have problems with their patterns, please check out their YouTube channel for help.  Also, their Facebook group is helpful too.  That is where I got my help for the first maternity dress(first picture). I was so proud of myself and it looks awesome on my niece.  She asked me to make another. 😃
