Burda 6632 - Berry Pink Polka Dotted Top w/ White Edging

Oh hi! It's been awhile since I've updated this blog. I did some traveling in June and have since then been focusing on getting organized. I'm sure you can imagine how much stuff one can pile up with having 4 children, and I was starting to feel like I was drowning. Very little sewing has been happening, but I did manage to make a cute summer top last month.

Simplicity 8296 - Navy + White Off-The-Shoulder Blouse

Off-the-shoulder blouses are currently everywhere: in stores, magazines, and pattern catalogues. I don't always make the newest trend right away, probably because I like to see what other people make first or which patterns seem to work the best. This time, though, I happened upon the perfect fabric. This navy and white embroidered gingham is from Moodfabrics.com. It is the loveliest of weights for a blouse, and has a slight amount of stretch to it not included in the description. There's only a little bit left as of this post. I highly recommend you snap some up!
