This seersucker shorts are my last official summer make. In the warmer months, shorts are one of my favorite garments to wear on days when I don't go to the office. And if I'm going to be lounging around or just running errands, a drawstring waist is perfection. These have the fun addition of a paper bag style waistband and curved hem.
The racerback silhouette has become a staple in my wardrobe over the last few years. There's really no better way to show off all those push ups and lat pulls than a racerback top. So of course when Christine Haynes released the Rumi Tank/Dress I had to snatch it up. This pattern is the first in a new collection she is developing of quick to sew patterns (yay! just my style!) called Chop Chop.
I’ve made leggings a few times before using a pattern that I drafted myself. They are great but not perfect. I learned some things from those makes. Firstly, that leggings are very, very quick to sew. Second, that it’s really important to have fabric with a lot of stretch. This time around I used the Virginia Leggings pattern by Megan Nielsen. I’m happy to say that this latest pair is my favorite.
