Point Mugu Maxi Skirt

Ruffles!!! Ruffles!!! Ruffles!!!

If there's one thing in this house the girls love, including me, its ruffles!  Have you seen the ruffle aprons we made previously not to mention tons made since then for friends birthday's and others!  How about the ruffled Cartwheel Shorts?  Ruffles are a favorite around here so I was so excited when I was asked to test the Point Mugu Maxi for my daughter!  This ruffle filled design was quick and easy and came out beautifully!

My favorite part of this pattern?  It had two options for cutting.  You can print and cut the pieces from the pattern or you can use the cutting chart and rotary cut every single piece!  I immediately knew which direction I was going and using my trusty rotary cutter I was completely cut out in no time!  I was able to sew this together quickly since she couldn't wait to try it on and start wearing it!

Skirt Pattern

Simply Sweats

I was delighted to be chosen to test a pattern for Dandelions 'n' Dungarees this past week!  I ended up making a couple pair of these capri's and these are my favorite ones!  These will be my daughter's "go to" comfy pants!  I had made them in purple and strips but with spirit week coming up she dug through my stash and found this green I had long forgot about and her "Michigan State" pants were born!

This pattern is super easy and each pant leg is one cut of fabric, not two pieced together as we usually see.  With the elastic and ribbed jersey making up the waistband these may be the most comfortable pants ever!

A few things I love about this pattern are:

• Ease of printing and print a single size pattern
• Variety of lengths- shorts, capri and pant length and the pants can be cuffed or uncuffed
• Quick sew!  Under an hour start to finish
• Sizes for boys

You can find the pattern here from Dandelion and Dungarees Etsy shop !  I see many pairs of these in my future!
