    Pattern Emporium’s The Works Tank, a citrus-y version

    And here is the second version of The Works Tank by Pattern Emporium that I promised you in yesterday’s post. And honestly this is my favorite of the two. This one is a size 8 at the bust graded to a size 12 at the hips. I measure a 10 at the hips, but I…

    Nothing like a pattern test to break me out of my rut and get me posting again. While I certainly have some backlog of items to post, I haven’t been making as much in the past couple of months due to travel and work. Fortunately, this pattern is super fast and easy! This is The…

    Little Mermaid top (aka Simplicity 8634)

    So I realize that I’ve been a total slacker in posting my running costumes. Because let’s face it — I’ve been a total slacker at posting. But look at this! 2 posts already this year. I’m a roll, don’t you think? At any rate, this was a top I made out of some moisture wicking…
