It looks great as a wrap top for... Continue Reading →

Basically, they are fitted skirts about knee length, with a drawstring and pockets, that look like they are made out of fabric that sweatpants are made out of! I had a casual backyard birthday party to go to,... Continue Reading →
This post is going way back to a few sews from last summer! It all started when my mom's friend asked me to make her a pair of comfy shorts with pockets. I knew right away what fabric I would use, but wasn't sure which pattern I wanted. The search began! I started going through... Continue Reading →
