    My Favorite Jumpsuit: Pattern McCalls 6083

    Sometimes a girl just wants to throw on a one piece and call it a day. This pattern is perfect for those days. If you sew, you can probably tell from the package this pattern has been around for a while, so I think its a classic at this point. lol Which is understandable, because I see myself making one of these every summer. I like making view D or E only because I like my arms covered. I made the one below in a rayon material so its very lightweight, machine washable, and just overall easy to wear.  I’ve been wearing this particular jumpsuit for 2 summers now and its finally getting a little to small 🙁 so I’m getting all the wear out of it I can before I have to give it away.

    D.I.Y Vintage Robe Kimono

    Shopping at the thrift store and revamping clothing is one of my favorite things to do! I’m all about recycling and recreating fashions! So, I saw this robe at the thrift store and thought it was really pretty and had potential. I took the zipper and the lapel off, sewed the front so it stays open, and sewed the sleeves a little smaller so I could roll them up. I’m in love with this robe now! It’s really long and lightweight, pretty much perfect for spring or summer. I think pairing it with all white really makes it pop. Now you know vintage robes make perfect kimonos!
