A Lounge Set

We've been staying home a lot recently. nd most days, I've been getting dressed. I have like twenty comfortable knit dresses, so that's been perfect. But some days, especially rainy days, I'm not much in the mood to wear a dress. I just want something comfy. But not pajamas, you know? 

I kind of shopped on-line for something back around my birthday. You know, I thought I might treat myself to something new, but I didn't really find much I loved. 

A couple of weeks ago, I saw someone in the Amelia Lane Designs Facebook Group wearing leggings she made from DBP... so I had to try it!

I made a lounge set using two tried and true patterns for me - both from 5 out of 4



These are the NINJA Pants

These are very easy, comfortably fitting leggings. They go together very quickly - I can probably make a pair in about thirty minutes. They have no side seams. They have different length options, and different waist options. They're also FREE! 😃

I used the ankle length, high waist option for these pants


After finishing the pants, I thought, "I REALLY need something good to pair with these..." I put a little thought into it and went and grabbed my trusty Michelle Tee pattern.



This is the third time I've sewn this pattern. I really like it. I used it last summer with some athletic/ triathlon fabric. I also used it in the winter for a 3/4 sleeve DBP top, which is also a favorite for me. So,  I knew I'd love this. 

This is a pattern for a basic, fitted tee. It has different sleeve length options, and the option of either top length or tunic length. 

I used the short sleeves and top length this time. 

I think this worked out to be the perfect pajama/ lounge set. I've had it for a few days, and I've already slept in it like three times! It is so comfortable! Why did I never think to use DBP for loungewear before? I'm certainly a fan!! 😉

The Tank Dress 3-ways by Pattern Emporium

It's been a while since I posted. I've been sewing, helping my kindergartener with virtual school, and living, which just hasn't left me with a lot of time for blogging! Life happens!  But... I've kind of missed writing, and I decided that now was the perfect time to make a new post. I had the opportunity to sew a pattern I really liked, and I got excited enough to find the motivation to write about it! 😉 **Disclosure: I have included my affiliate link to the pattern used in this post. If you choose to purchase a Pattern from Pattern Emporium using my link, I will receive a small commission of the sale at no additional cost to you.** The pattern I tested is from Pattern Emporium. I love their patterns for a few reasons. I've posted before that I have kind of broad shoulders and on with some designers I have to adjust patterns to fit them. There are a couple of designers that seem to fit me well with no adjustments to the pattern pieces and this is one of them. I

It's so nice if your favorite fabric type is featured or one that you've just been wanting to try.  This month, the featured fabric is Athletics! I LOVE the athletics from ALD!

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.** This Set:  For the top, I used a fabric called " Sportivo ." This is a nylon/ spandex blend. It can be used for athletic tops, sports bras, and even swimwear. I LOVE this fabric !  For this top, I used the Marin from Sew A Little Seam . This is a swim pattern. I planned to sew a crop top version with this for an exercise tank, but when I finished, I decided to
