FOXGLOVE Tank - A New Women's Pattern From Selvage Designs!

Monday, June 16, 2014

Hi guys!

A couple of weeks ago, I had the lovely privilege of testing Lauren of Selvage Designs first womens' pattern. The Foxglove Tank (affiliate link). And it has JUST been release! Woohoo!! From now through June 29th, the pattern is available for download only through Indiesew (btw, have you heard of this site??? It's pretty great!!), it is currently available for pre-order at Selvage Designs and will be delivered to your inbox on June 29th if you order there.

I LOVED. ADORED. Lauren's debut pattern, the Soleil Dress for girls (see my versions here and here), and this second pattern did not disappoint! I just love how Lauren's patterns are put together.

The Mulberry Tunic - A Pattern By Kid Approved for Willow & Co

Thursday, June 12, 2014

It's Day 4 of our Glamping Week! Today I'm showing you the Mulberry Tunic I made for my little man. This pattern was designed by my friend Olga of Kid Approved, for Willow & Co. This is the second Mulberry I've made and I love it even more the second time around! (See my first version here)

When I was sewing my first version I kept seeing it in seersucker in long sleeves and couldn't get it out of my head until I made it come to life. And oh my goodness. I am SO glad I did!

Oh my stars. I am so in love with this little cardi. Seriously. She needs one to go with every outfit! The Aster Cardigan was designed by LBG Studio for Willow & Co. I love Vanessa's style, and this cardigan is no exception. I mean, what's not to love about it!?

The 3/4 sleeves, length, the fabulous collar and the 3 little buttons at the top all work together in the most perfect way to create a little cardi that goes with almost any style.

Kudzu Cargos - A Pattern by Charming Doodle for Willow & Co

Kudzu Cargos - A Pattern by Charming Doodle for Willow & Co

Tuesday, June 10, 2014

Hi friends!! Welcome to another Glamping Day!

Today I'm sharing my thoughts on the Kudzu Cargos, a pattern designed by Charming Doodle for Willow & Co. It is a unisex pattern that can be made in pants or shorts length, skinny or straight version and LOADS of colorblocking, decorative seaming, and pockets options. When I say LOADS, I mean loads!

I chose to make the straight version with the diagonal seam in the front and the back pockets, also with the diagonal seam to mimic the front. This was my first time using a topstitching needle and wow, I am hooked! I am so thrilled with how these shorts turned out.

Happy Tuesday!!

While I am preparing a very fun "Glamping" week coming up next week, I thought I'd share a few of my favorite photos from the last week.

I've been reading Vanessa's ebook trying to better my photography. Such a helpful tool! And as always, everything I do is a work in progress and it's fun to learn new things.
