Hello friends!<\/p>\n

How is your summer going so far? Long before Covid I told S that this year I wanted to stay in Europe this year and do some exploring. After all, it’s not easy to travel when she’s in school, and everything is so close to us from Madrid! She was rather disappointed, and even more so after restrictions made it impossible for us to return. But this week was the first of three probably beach vacations the kid is going to have, and as it turns out that’s not as bad as she thought! She’s been sending me photos so I have proof.<\/p>\n

Not a bad life, right? I can think of worse ways for a 15-year-old to pass her summer.<\/p>\n

The bright pink top in the photo below, left, has intrigued me for a while. I love the idea of longer, visible pocket bags as a design element. It gives a feeling of layers, and you could do something similar with our Bento Tee pattern. (Or the Lunch Box Tee for kids.) Also, the green shirt on the right: that color! I’d love to sew something similar using our Classic Shirt, maybe with the popover placket option. Anyone know of a fabric that would be appropriate? That blue-tinged military green is fantastic.<\/p>\n

How refreshing is the idea of top and trousers made from the same fabric, particularly in a polished linen for summer: so elegant. Also loving the simplicity and clean lines of the shirt on the right, which I think could also be done with our Classic Shirt pattern. I’ll play around with the neckline finish to see what I can do.<\/p>\n

We’d really like to get back to Paris this fall, too.<\/p>\n

The best thing about summer? Salads with all that fresh produce!<\/p>\n
