I love scouring sources for sewing inspiration, so the ‘Sew Pinspired’ contest was the perfect motivation I needed to recreate a few looks I had pinned on my fashion board. Not to mention the PRIZES!?! There are some great prizes up for grabs … fabric…patterns…a coverstitch machine! A BIG thank you to the lovely and gracious sponsors: EBS Fabrics, Jaded Threads, Sahara Fabrics, Zenith & Quasar, So Sew English!
I am sharing two looks that I created using 5oo4 patterns…
INSPIRATION 1: Adorable floral dress with funnel neck and contrast cuffs.
It took me some time to figure out how to replicate this look and ultimately decided to mash two patterns:
I think it turned out super cute!
How I did it: A-line long dress (Easy Tee), long sleeves (color blocked), crew neckline to accommodate the funnel neck piece from the Weekender Tunic (no adjustments necessary)…so simple, and so cute!
This fabric is french terry and is super soft and cozy. I will probably sew some Ninja leggings to wear under this dress for added warmth as the weather cools. (Pssst…did you know that you can get the Ninja pattern for FREE!?! There is a code in the pinned post on the 5 out of 4 Patterns FB group page).
INSPIRATION TWO: Floral Raglan Hoodie
Pattern: Nancy Raglan Top, Tunic, and Dress (gotta love the options 5oo4 includes in all the their patterns).
I LOVE this hoodie! And I really like the unique hood design!
And don’t you LOVE this fabric? It’s from So Sew English – one of our contest sponsors! It’s french terry, and I get extra snuggles from my family when I am wearing it because it’s soooooo soft!

I love the hoodie t-shirt/top. Love the color combo.
Last week I made my daughter and me a Nancy Raglan without a hood. Now I want to try it with a hood.
This would make such a cozy and cute nursing top!
I have really been working up my confidence in sewing. I was afraid to try new things but I have been working hard. I did a neckline I was proud of today and my husband said it was my best yet. The pieces are finally starting to click.
Super cute! I’d love to make that Nancy Raglan
It’s such a pretty pattern!! Thank you!!

So pretty! I’m currently in the process of making my first garment for my husband – the half-time hoodie. Excited for a well fitting pattern that he’s excited about 🙂

Thanks so much for the awesome ninja leggings pattern – so versatile and easy to follow.
I’d love to try the ninjas! I’ve heard the fit is great!
I need that hoodie!❤
I’ve been dying to try the Zen pants, but besides wondering if it’s above my skill level, my machine needs a tuneup before I start on any denim, (It’s been too long since I’ve had a pro tune-up, which are hard to find locally for my Elna and it’s never been a fan of layers of denim on it’s best days, not that I don’t love it, it’s the fav of all machines I’ve used or borrowed.)
Eventually, I may move on to the boardshorts which make a lot more sense for the weather here.
This looks super cozy! ?
I’ve made 2 pairs of Ninjas so and I LOVE them! It was the first time I’ve worn leggings in over 20 years.
I don’t see my previous comment? My internet is boggy. Thanks for the giveaway!!
Love the Nancy raglan with the contrasting fabric. I like how the inside of good matches the sleeves. The pinspiration is a great idea and thanks for the ideas!!
I haven’t actually sewn up a 5oo4 pattern yet but I plan to make some ninja pants soon! I love how you draft for a rectangular shape!
Love them all!
Thanks for all the inspiration!
These are beautiful! Thanks for the giveaway!
