Not only is there an AMAZING blog tour going on but 1 lucky winner that leaves a comment below between now and 8/3/15 will win a FREE EYMM pattern of their choice!!!!  Which one would you pick?

I haven’t been sewing for myself very long, and when I do, I find myself going back to only a couple designers. Mostly because I like the fit and know what size to sew, so I don’t have to take the time to measure myself and all that. Kymy from Everything Your Mama Made (EYMM) is one of those designers. I have been following almost from the beginning and even got to meet her (and her awesome kids!) last summer! Both my daughter and I love her patterns! For this tour, I decided to sew up the new Women’s Capsule Skirt and the Kymy’s Dolman Top.

Both of these were new to me patterns and I am in love with the results! I love that I can put EYMM patterns together with no trimming! As a busy mom, stuff gets pushed to the back of the sewing queue if it can’t be put together during an episode of Baby Signing time or Curious George!

This little guy loves to “help” put patterns together, which usually means more work for me!

 I recently met up with a sewing friend and we swapped fabric, and I found this navy and cream print to be perfect for the Capsule Skirt! For the top, I had this wonderful red fabric from Joann’s. I love the drape of it! Both fabrics are prefect for these patterns!

I hope I have inspired you to check out EYMM patterns! Be sure to check out the other posts along the tour!
