Side note, before I begin. I realized after putting the finishing touches on this post that I am not the first person to compare these exact two patterns. Such is life as a summer worn, scatter brained mom. I thought of not posting after all, but man, taking all these pictures was annoying, and what am… Continue reading The Great Tank Debate Part 1: Adventure Tank vs. Rumi Tank
Weekend Wrinkles: Cropped Linen Willow Tank
The best part of being short waisted? Cropping your new Willow Tank by 3″ and still being able to wear your favorite Emerson Crops with it.

Mini Ogden Cami, a Belated Birthday Dress for my Girl
I was late with all the birthday gifts this year. Seriously late! It was however a big birthday year for my girl. She turned 10! I honestly can not believe that we are now into the double digits.

Ikat Willamette Shirt
Give me all the cropped shirts for summer! Ok, this one isn’t extremely cropped, but close enough to cropped for this Mama of 2. You guys, it’s finally summer!

I’m lovingly calling it my I.B.T.H. (You can figure that one out for yourself, or look it… Continue reading Watson Bra Test Run

Lou Box Top + Rumi Pullover= Perfection
Ok, maybe perfection is going a step too far. Or maybe not. I love this top! It is my new favorite top and I’m so glad I made it! I recently went on a Lou Box Top rampage, and counting this mashup, I’ve made four in the last month. Seriously. This top sews up so… Continue reading Lou Box Top + Rumi Pullover= Perfection

Sometimes it seems like everyone in the entire sewing community has made a pattern, except me. That was the case with the Lou Box Top by Sew DIY, until now!I actually made this as a muslin.
