I first saw the Halifax Hoodie by Hey June in the Indie Sew Instagram feed and almost, immediately I went a purchased it. Last year, I had an intense love affair with the Linden Sweatshirt by Grainline Studio. (I made about 5 of them!) But, I still felt the need for a zip up front hoodie in my life. Sometimes you just need the freedom to zip down and let a breeze come through. Or pop on the hood for a little added warmth. Hence, my rush to get this hoodie in my closet.
Hello lovelies! Today I have yet another variation of the Lou Box Top to share with you. This version is inspired by two lovely sewists that I've had the pleasure of meeting online, Emily of In the Folds and Rebecca from Vida Doce. I have more of these tops than I can count and this one quickly became a favorite. I've been wearing it at least once a week since I finished it, usually with my Birkin Flares (yay! for me-made). But without further ado, on to the details of this top.
Late last year I began a quest for dresses. I found myself hating everything I owned and set about looking for patterns that could fill the void. (Read about the quest here.) So when I was asked to participate in the Indiesew Spring Collection blog tour I knew I had to try out the Sanibel Dress by Hey June. I love all the details and trust me it was a challenge deciding which view to make. It's a classic shirt dress design with a button front, collar and drawstring waist. There are options for sleeves with button plackets or epaulets and button tabs. You can also choose whether to do a skirt or shorts on bottom, both come with scooped front pockets. After much debate, I decided to do the skirt with epaulets.
