HI DARLINGS! I couldn’t wait to wear this skirt. We featured this M7606 skirt in the July/August issue of SEW SEW DEF and I knew I had to make it asap. I love a great wrap skirt and I love ruffles! I also had this really great velvet cami I picked up H&M this summer and I had yet to wear it. Don’t you love when you have something in your closet that just fits perfectly?! REVIEW: The pattern comes together great, I added another 20″ to the ruffle pattern piece so I could get m

Hi Darlings, you ever get those days where nothing fits? I promise you that during mother natures visit I gain so much water weight that I can’t zip up my jeans, lol! so instead of feeling like a stuffed sausage I pull out the flowing maxi dresses that always make me feel taller, slender and pretty.

They are polite, respectful and hilarious! and we try our best to reward good behavior and encourage family time. The most important part of raising my kids is creating memories. When I was a kid I
