I'm pleased as stripey punch to say I was part of the testing team for the new Arm Candy Tee from @spokesandstitches!

The fit is great, the sleeve options are numerous, the size range is inclusive (75" hip max) with both dynamic and linear fits, and the instruction booklet is in-depth with comprehensive instructions and hacking suggestions. Literally the only thing it is missing is a deep scoop neck and v-neck options (hint, hint, Ruby! 😉). The instructions come with adaptability suggestions, too.

To top it all off - the was one of my smoothest pattern tests to date. It was really a pleasure!

I haven't found time to make more than the two versions I have pictured here, but I will eventually. The pattern really does fit me well in both sizes I made up and my intention, at least, is to make more.

Pattern: #ArmCandyTee by @spokesandstitches
Size for red/white/blue stripes: O graded to P for the waist and hips (dynamic range). Cotton jersey fabric.
Size for the navy/white stripes: N graded to O for the waist and hips (dynamic range). DBP fabric.

My body measurements fall between N and O for the bust and between O and P for my waist and hips.

A new shirt for a summer trip. This is my newest make - a @straightstitchdesigns Meadowood tee.

We're at Birch Point Campground in Island Falls, Maine this weekend. Our campsite is right on the water and we've really enjoyed the floating we've been able to accomplish.

Pattern: #ssdmeadowood
Size: 24 (I'm a size 28 graded to the 30 based on the chart), lengthened by 2". Yoke pieces cut on the cross grain.
Fabric: cotton gauze (not double gauze)

"Sipping aperol on the piazza" – that was my "vibe

"Sipping aperol on the piazza" - that was my "vibe" for this make. @topstitchatl is hosting #sewthevibe this month. You get randomly assigned a vibe (you can totally respond that wheel if needed, though!) and the piazza is where I landed.

While this dress was underway we took some time to explore a downtown we hadn't spent much time in and the two patios we ate at both made me incredibly happy! Maine is a long way off from Italy, but sitting in the little square sipping sangria totally made my week.

Pattern: @chalkandnotch #fringedresspattern
Size: 28C/D
Fabric: 70/30 rayon linen blend from @joann_stores clearance
