This summer, I have plans to spend lots of time at the beach, pool, and a lake... which means I need a new swimsuit, right? After some thinking, I decided to use the Greenstyle North Shore Swimsuit for the bottoms and the Power Sports Bra for the top. I ordered some beautiful swim fabric that... Continue Reading →
Another Helen – Faux Placket Hack
I absolutely love my Helen Dress from DIBY that I wrote about here. I was going to make the short sleeve option for my next version, but with my summer plans, I knew I would get more use out of another tank version. I wanted a solid color, but was trying to think of how... Continue Reading →
GS – Taylor Shorts… with knit fabric!
Hello! I have been a bit slow on updating you all on Me Made May! So far, I have worn something I have made every single day in May. One day was just undergarments, but that still counts! I've been a little slow updating you all on instagram, and am hoping to pick that up... Continue Reading →

I had bought this amazing fabric from Boho Fabrics that was just sitting in my closet waiting to be sewn up... but I didn't have the right... Continue Reading →
Testing the GS Muscle Up Tank
I recently tested another Greenstyle Creations pattern, the Muscle Up Tank! I had never done a pattern test for anyone other than myself, so I was eager to try it out using my husband's measurements. I asked him if he was willing to test and be my model, and he agreed! (Thanks again) The tank... Continue Reading →
Greenstyle – Strides
I finally found the motivation to try another legging pattern during Greenstyle's 2019 Fit Capsule. I bought the pattern on discount excited to see the differences and for leggings with a tad less compression than the Super G Tights (written about here). I measured myself and got started printing, tracing, and cutting the Greenstyle Strides.... Continue Reading →
