Hello friends! I'm super excited to share this post with you - it's been in the making for a bit now.

I know I constantly obsess over the CLUB collection from Raspberry Creek, but today I'm loving some of their regular retail yardage: sweater knit! What's not to love about buffalo plaid?! This hacci sweater knit is the softest fabric ever. I sewed up the Made for Mermaids Women's Nina because I knew it would fit … Continue reading Raspberry Creek Sweater Knit
Even though it's already September, it's still 90+ degrees here in Chicago, so I feel justified in posting this skirt & tank combo before I launch head first into fall style!

Hi friends - a quick post tonight. I just wanted to call out the new Silhouette/Cricut cut files designed by Megan at Made for Mermaids. The awesome thing is, 100% of the proceeds from these are donated to local Houston charities. I made a quick Mama Nina in shirt length last night - seriously, 1.5 … Continue reading Hurricane Harvey Charity Designs
