Hello there!

My name is Aaronica and I'm the sewist behind The Needle and the Belle. I started sewing when I was 13 and then fell back in love with sewing through PDF patterns. I now document my pieces I make here!

I made a playsuit! The new @patternsforpirates fa I made a playsuit! The new @patternsforpirates fabric of the month has dropped and it’s a beautiful pointelle. I thought it would be perfect for a dainty little playsuit and it is! I used the Sunshine Dress (my first test pattern) and paired it with the Logger shorts for this cute number that’s prepared to be a summer staple. Pattern hacking used to be my favorite thing ever—I think I need to get back to it.
I went outside today and wore my @staystitchpatter I went outside today and wore my @staystitchpatternco Lola dress. There’s nothing like #MeMade to make you most comfortable!
My office is coming together nicely and I couldn’t be more excited. We moved in a little more than a month ago and my space was the first that was set up since I had to hop back into work immediately. I love that I’ve been able to make this space what I want and need. There are only a couple more things left to do before I’m 100% up and running and ready to give a little tour. I’ll likely put that up on my YouTube channel so be sure to subscribe and be ready there! What would you say is essential in your workspaces?
One time for me not being able to fix my face for One time for me not being able to fix my face for these pictures. The new @madeformermaids Alana has dropped and even though my face doesn’t show it, I’m HELLA excited about it. There are SO many options available which makes this a staple. I did the low back, low front, maxi with a high slit because I’m serving up thigh all summer long! I used my fave poly cotton fabric from @ssefabrics (it’s still in stock) for a more casual look. I’m ready for summer!
Does it get any cuter than my mini rocking the pat Does it get any cuter than my mini rocking the pattern named after her mommy? Sis is out here living her best patio life in this romper so that means more are coming her way. Pattern: @madeformermaids Aaronica Fabric: @ssefabrics
Did you hear that there’s a pattern named after Did you hear that there’s a pattern named after me?!?!? Yes friends! I present to you the Aaronica Pattern by @madeformermaids!!! This pattern comes with 4 different bottom options (fitted and gathered skirts or shorts or pants). I LOVE the crossover in the back. I used a rib knit because like @ms_dana, it’s slowly becoming my fave fabric.
You ever just have those days where you can’t sh You ever just have those days where you can’t shake your funk? Today is one of those days for me. I’ve been in a lot of pain from my autoimmune/inflammatory disease plus I hurt my knee last week and then again this week. When I’m in a lot of pain, I’m the worst. I have zero patience, zero energy and am cranky AF. I put on my favorite Harmony Harems from @petitestitchery (they’re no longer being sold) and have been working but all I’m ready to do is go to bed. How do you all handle these kinds days?
Today on @minervadotcom I’m talking about this @ Today on @minervadotcom I’m talking about this @madeformermaids Quinn I made at the end of summer last year that’s been unpacked and is ready to mingle in the sun! I love the Quinn. It’s one of my most made patterns because of the versatility—you can use both knit and woven fabrics with it!
Final day of #MeMadeMay... I’m wearing my favori Final day of #MeMadeMay... I’m wearing my favorite @megannielsenpatterns bikini. I wish I had it in me to put together one of those cute grids showing everything I’ve worn this month but I don’t 🤷🏽‍♀️🤷🏽‍♀️🤷🏽‍♀️ I didn’t sew as much courtesy of moving and unpacking but I’m excited to have participated this year! What was your favorite piece you made or wore this month?
