Clemence Shorts by Filles a Maman

I'm sitting in my living room, contemplating tomorrow's activities as we are heading into a second day of no school due to the epic snowpocalypse that has brought our area to its knees. (The preceding sentence was brought to you courtesy of our local weather guys. They can totally bring the drama!) I'm not sure if we'll hit a sledding hill or the YMCA (or both!) but I do know that I am SO ready for Spring and Summer, especially the fun clothing that warmer weather insists upon.Thank goodness Mel from Filles a Maman was bidding winter au revoir with her new Clemence Shorts pattern

Lolita Shorts by Felicity Patterns

I might have squealed a little bit when I first saw the Lolita Shorts pop up in my Facebook Feed.  The ruffles along the hem are simply adorable, and the front sash & bow add style and sophistication without the fuss of belt loops.  This is a fun pattern for mixing fabrics, adding decorative stitching, or adding fun trim.

California Dress and Peplum by EYMM

I'm super excited to share the California Girl Dress from Everything Your Mama Made!(It releases Saturday April 26 in the Bundle Up Bundle!!!!)  I think Kymy may love knits more than I do and that is quite a feat, because I LOVE knits, but she makes the most amazing patterns for both children and women designed for comfy knit fabrics.  I used the Purple Blue Feather Rows knit from Girl Charlee - it is lightweight and perfect for summer, but is a spandex blend so it has great stretch and recovery. (This was leftover from my Out And About Dress - thanks Girl Charlee!)
