Hello friends!

It’s been so nice to have a little vacation! We’re really enjoying south-western France. I especially like Bordeaux and Bayonne, both of which are quite charming with lots of beautiful architecture. Here are a few photos of Bayonne, which was really quiet the day we visited. It probably isn’t like this in the summer!

The cuff below, left, reminds me a little of the cuff detail on our Liesl + Co Gallery Dress + Tunic. Do you know you could make a similar top to the one below, right, using our Liesl + Co Bento Tee or Maritime Tee or, for girls, our Oliver + S Lunch Box Tee for girls? In fact, stay tuned for a tutorial on this one.

This week’s kids’ inspiration is somewhat French in feeling, I think. You could sew a similar style to the skirt and top below, left, using double gauze for a Swingset Skirt and a knit Lunch Box Tee. And the red bow totally makes the outfit below, right.

Weekend Links

I have only a few links for you this week because I’ve been mostly reading books, but here are a few things that have caught my interest lately:

And next week we’re planning all sorts of fun posts for you! I can hardly wait to show you the skirt I made, and we’ll have another favorite Lisette pattern as well as some of your sewing as well. See you then, and have a wonderful weekend!
