A top for me, The diplomat tunic
I got the idea a few weeks ago to make a top for myself. I saw the Lisette Diplomat Dress and that did it. I haven’t made a piece of clothing for myself since I was in high school. Back then I was stick thin and much easier to fit. I fell in love with this Amy Butler fabric and thought it might be a good time to dive back into sewing for myself.
Tips for Summer Memory Keeping
Summer is just around the corner. Personally I am a great LOVER of summer. The sunshine, the warmth, the relaxed schedules— I love it all. Each year I am determined to properly remember what we did.
The last few years I’ve been trying harder to scrapbook our summers. Today I thought I’d share with you how I record our summer and give you a few ideas of how to remember yours.
