CKC Hollis Crossover Hem Tee

I love this top! 💓 It's more than just a basic tee, but it's just as comfortable as one!


This is CKC Hollis! This pattern makes such a cute top to pair with jeans or leggings, and is a surprisingly easy sew! You have a few options for sewing this pattern!



The Sleeves:

 This pattern comes with different sleeve lengths to make the perfect top for any time of year. The sleeves are finished with a simple cuff, for a very easy finish! I love not having to measure and pin a hem! 😉 I made both of my tops with long sleeves, because it's so cold right now! I wanted a couple of tops to keep me warm!


 The Crossover Band:

 There are two options for the bottom crossover on this pattern. For each of my two shirts, I used the curved hem band. You can optionally use a solid (straight/ non-curved) band. Both of them look beautiful - I feel like the straight band might be slightly more beginner-friendly, however.



The Lengths: 

 Shannon has the pattern pieces marked for different lengths already. You can choose to cut at petite line, regular line, or tall line. She has a hem band marked for each length so that it'll fit perfectly. I used the regular cut line, because I am 5'5" tall, and it is the perfect length for me.

The Fit:

 This top has more of a comfortable, relaxed fit. I really love it! The length of the top hits me long enough that I could comfortably wear it with leggings, which I love - More options!



Fabric: 

This pattern is drafted for knit fabrics.  I used double brushed poly for both of mine! I love DBP because there are so many prints available and it's so warm this time of year! 💓

The white floral is from a Knitpop Scrap Box! I have really enjoyed my scrap box and definitely recommend you checking them out! http://bit.ly/2KKjW9y (affiliate link)

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. If you choose to make a purchase from my link, I will receive a small commision of the sale at no additional charge to you.** So here we are... the push I finally needed to spend a few minutes sewing (minutes is right... it's a fast sew). Look at my new skir...

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...
