The Pickle Toes 10K Tank

At first I wasn't sure how much I would wear it. The pattern looked a little sportier than what I typically choose. But the color-blocking looked fun, so I made it anyway! And, I'm really glad I did, because I really actually love how it turned out!

**Disclosure: I have included my affiliate link for this pattern in this blog post. If you choose to click on/purchase from my link, I'll receive a small commission from the sale**

This was my first Pickle Toes 10K tank, but it for sure will not be my last!

The Pattern:

This pattern is drafted for knit fabrics. You will need something with good, 4 way stretch. It is a fitted tank, but is very flattering. There are seven length options included (top, tunic, mini, above the knee, below the knee, tea length, maxi length), and two options for the back (regular tank ro racer back). There is a fun color blocking detail on the front and back. I used two fabrics for mine, but you could also use three if you wanted.
My Top:

I printed and taped my pattern, and went looking through my fabric stash. I chose to make the tunic length, because I had this great stripe fabric I got in a scrap/ mystery box that was the perfect size for this! I used a solid black for my color blocking. My top is made from DBP (Double Brushed Poly) fabric. I really love the look, a lot more than I expected! I chose to make the regular tank, because I don't have a racerback bra... you would think that at some point I'd fix that. 🤷 Maybe when we're done with nursing, I'll invest!

Sewing the Pattern

This was a very easy pattern to put together and to sew! You do have a lot of pieces when you cut everything out, so just be organized so you don't lose any! I have 2 year old who likes to run off with random pieces, so I have to make sure to put everything out of reach. 🤣 It went together pretty quickly, and I love how it turned out!

I love dresses, so I'm kind of wanting another in above the knee or maxi length! It's a really fun pattern! I'm also REALLY wanting a sleeved version of this! Maybe our friends at Pickle Toes will make that happen at some point! 😜 *hint hint*

It would also make a wonderful exercise top in some athletic or wicking fabric! Maybe I'll do that one day too!

So TODAY ONLY (05-20-2019), the pattern is discounted!

Breaking Ground... FINALLY trying out Itch To Stitch

I've heard nothing but positive reviews on Itch To Stitch Patterns, and I've been meaning to try them out. In fact, I may own one or two, but have never sewed them. When I heard about this "Breaking Ground" Blog Tour, I knew it was the perfect time to try out one of these designers that I've been wanting to try, but apparently haven't had the motivation to sew. I had a scrap of this liverpool left over that I really love, so I had to find the perfect thing to make. I remembered seeing this cute petal pencil skirt on the Itch To Stitch site. It looked easy enough, and would be perfect for my fabric, so I thought, "Why not start with that?" **This post may contain my affiliate links.

Look at my new skir...

A Double Release from Pattern Emporium

I get so excited about new patterns. 😊 One of my favorite designers is releasing TWO new patterns together this month, and I'm thrilled to share about them! **Disclosure: I have included my affiliate links to the patterns used for this post.

It also has a couple of lengths - for the hemband to sit on the waist or the hips.  Both versions can be made with several necklines- three different rounded necklines, a v neckline, or a squared neckline. They both have several options for sleeve lengths or two choices for sle...

January Releases from Amelia Lane Designs

I always get so excited about new fabric releases from Amelia Lane Designs. Frequently, they give me the opportunity to sew something I might not otherwise and try something new. I have learned a lot sewing for them, like how to sew swim and athletic wear. But I've also learned that I actually LIKE wearing fun prints and designs that I haven't always worn.  ** Disclosure: I have included affiliate links to patterns used in this post. If you choose to purchase a pattern using my link, I will receive a small commission of the sale at no additional cost to you.** For this release, I tried something that is really not me - this fun animal print! There have been a few releases recently with fun animal-print fabrics, and I have not sewn any of them, because I thought I wouldn't like wearing them. But after seeing some of the other sewists in the ALD Facebook Group sharing their makes, I knew I HAD to try it! I am really glad I did. This dress makes me so happy! This fabric is a d...
