But at the end of 2017, I was like – This is the year!! I finally have my normal body back, and my baby still … Continue reading “Key Largo Shift Dress”

Key Largo Top vs. Scout Tee

Last week I made muslins of two very popular woven tee patterns, and after having quite a few people interested in a comparison post — here it is!

I thought about doing a ‘pros and cons’ list of … Continue reading “Key Largo Top vs. Scout Tee”

The Lane Raglan [Neckline Adjustment]

I recently unpacked all of my long sleeve shirts (all like 7 of them) and basically got rid of all of them, except a sweater I bought in the men’s section of Kohl’s last year, and a couple of button down shirts that aren’t particularly warm. I think I have gotten rid of almost every shirt in my closet after … Continue reading “The Lane Raglan [Neckline Adjustment]”

Hudson Pants + Long Sleeve Panama Tee

I am so excited to share these Hudson Pants by True Bias, and my newest long sleeve Panama Tee by Alina Design Co., because I pretty much haven’t taken them off since I finished them (don’t worry, it’s only been two days so far. #momlife).

Panama Tee Dress [midi + side slits]

If I could only choose one pattern for the rest of my life/closet, I would choose this pattern, hands down. This is my 7th (but who’s counting? I’m going to loose track soon.)

Highlands Wrap Dress

This gorgeous dress is the Highlands Wrap Dress by Allie Olson! I was lucky to be one of the testers for the pattern back in March, but since I procrastinated and had to rush, I wasn’t able to make the height adjustments needed. This time, I was in no rush and had time to make the adjustments for my height. … Continue reading “Highlands Wrap Dress”
