Luci Mae by Lil Luxe Collection
Hello! I am Back!! My kids are finally back in school! Today was the first day of full-time, in-person school! They are beyond excited to be back and I am beyond excited to get back to a normal schedule! So, given that the last 6-7 months have been crazy, I have been terrible about sharing all of my makes. I made these Luci Mae Jumpers during testing awhile back. I did test this pattern, so the pants version was Version 1 during testing and the dress version was the Final Version of the pattern.

So when Kennis (Itch to Stitch) asked for testers for her new Envigado Vest, I jumped on it! I even ordered fabric and supplies before the test began, which I never do. However,…

Resolution Bottoms by Love Notions
What a way to start off the New Year! Love Notions just released a brand new pattern, The Resolution Bottoms. This pattern is packed with options! The Resolution Bottoms pattern comes with 5 views: Joggers, Straight Leg Yoga Pants, Boot Cut Yoga Pants, Leggings and Moto Leggings.

For this pattern test I made the Moto Leggings with a yoga style waistband, without pockets. This seems crazy to admit, but this is the very first pair of leggings that I have made for myself. I have been wanting…
