Monday Morning Inspiration/Inspire Me!

Do you ever get up and just feel happy? Nothing special has happened, it's a day like any other day. And maybe, it's not exactly a perfect day, something has not exactly gone right, but....you just feel happy? Well, that's how I feel today. It's a happy day :)

In February of 2014, almost 3 years ago, I started doing the Thrifty Thursday posts. I noticed that there were a lot of free patterns being offered, so I thought I would give some a try and let you know what I think. Now, truth be told, if I came across a pattern that had issues with, I quietly threw it away, and left it to the trash bin. The only patterns that I have featured on the blog are those that I've felt were drafted correctly and that I really liked. 

Let's take a look back at some of my favorites.

I enjoyed THIS jacket from Sew News so much that  I made it twice. 

Tessutti has some fun and easy to wear free patterns available on their website.
On the left is a top that I lengthened into a dress and added a belt.
The a-line skirt comes in 3 lengths. 
The Zoe Top can be worn loose or belted. Looks great with skirts and pants alike.

I love hats!

The Cloche

The beautiful top below can be a bit tricky to download, but well worth it.

This Twirl Skirt is such fun to wear!

Easy to make and fun to use bags.
On the left, The Reversible Bag.
The Little Dinky Handbag on the right.

Loved the free panty pattern from Cloth Habit.
In fact, I loved it so much that I made it into swim bottoms and paired it with a great free cami pattern from Iconic Patterns. 

On the left is the free Kimono Tee from Maria of Denmark.
On the right, the free Gathered Top from So Sew Easy.

The Hemlock Tee from Grainline Studio is great paired with a cami.
The Plaintain Tee from Deer and Doe is so very versatile and easy to wear.

So that's just a few of the patterns that have been made over the last 3 years. If you have a little extra time, you can scroll through HERE and see more that have been made. 

I really do enjoy doing the Thrifty Thursday posts and would like to continue. I have a few lined up to go, but I would love it if you know of a pattern that you think is intriguing and would like to see me try. If you do, just leave a comment with a link to the pattern. You are also welcome to email me with a link, sewbussted@yahoo.com. 

Wishing you a VERY HAPPY DAY!!!
