Twice a month D&L Art Glass runs posts regarding business. If you’re an artist that’s trying to make a living doing your art this is a great bit of information to check out. It’s written by Anne Nye and she has acquired the kind of experience and information that is very helpful in growing your business. As artists we don’t want to have to think about the business side of things but if you want to make money doing art then you really have to get a grip on what it takes to sell your work as well as yourself. And even if making money isn’t the first thing on your mind this information will be helpful in directing you. It certainly can’t hurt to check it out. And her glass is lovely too.

Wrap Yourself in Style: 20+ Stunning DIY Wrap Dress Patterns & Tutorials
There’s something undeniably timeless — and flattering — about a good wrap dress. Whether it’s a flirty ruffle hem, a breezy linen version, or a sleek knit design, the wrap dress has that magical ability to look amazing on every body type. It cinches where you want it to, flows where it should, and can be dressed up or down in a heartbeat. No wonder it’s a favorite for sewists of all levels!
If you’ve ever thought about sewing your own wrap dress, now’s the perfect time. I recently fell down the rabbit hole (as we all do) looking for the perfect pattern for a warm-weather wrap, and before I knew it, I had bookmarked over twenty tutorials, pattern reviews, and free printables — so naturally, I had to share them with you.
This curated roundup includes everything from beginner-friendly printable patterns to self-drafted masterpieces and in-depth sew-alongs. You’ll find sleeveless sundresses, long sleeve linen wraps, wrap dresses made from thrifted sheets (yes, really!), and even stylish maxi dress versions that are just begging for a beach day. Whether you prefer structured silhouettes or flowy, boho vibes, there’s a style here for you.

What I love most about wrap dresses is their versatility — they can be sewn in cozy knits for layering in cooler weather or lightweight cottons and linens for easy-breezy summer wear. And they don’t require a ton of fussy closures — just ties, wraps, and sometimes a well-placed snap or two.
So if you’ve been looking for your next me-made wardrobe staple (or a few), scroll on! This list is packed with free patterns, expert tips, and loads of sewing inspiration. Trust me — once you make one wrap dress, you’ll be hooked.
Let’s wrap it up… in style!
