EYMM Back to School Tour: Mom's Edition

 

It's Back to School time!

This is the day we have been waiting and praying for over the last couple months! 

We thought it would never come...

But it has!

 

I'm just kidding (well kinda). I actually enjoy have all my kiddos around but it is nice to have a little break while they are at school.

This year we have an 11th grader, 9th grader, 5th grader, 4th grader and a preschooler.

A lot of people think once the kids are in school we have so much time.

The opposite is quite true.

Now we have cheer leading, band, scouts, church activities..... the list could go on and on. 

This leaves little time for mama.

So, if I sew for me its gotta be quick.

The kymy dolman top is just that!

I wanted a loose flowing top that I could throw over my tank top and head out to the bus stop without looking like I was still in my pjs (I admit, I have done this).

To save even more time, I didn't hem it!
Knit does not fray, so I didn't bother.
I made the tunic length, basic fit and I love it.
But, when I get a couple minutes I may go make and add the side ruching (included in the pattern!)
Also, included is a high low hem, basic tee, maternity option and banded tee.
Plus, the pattern is in sizes XS to 5X!

Make sure you stop my Everything your mama made and use the code below to pick up some patterns for you!

EYMM: Christmas in July

 

Welcome to my stop on the EYMM Christmas in July Blog tour!

Can you believe the Christmas is only five months away?! On December 23 of last year my family made the move from Maryland to New Hampshire. Some of our new church family helped hang some lights to welcome the kids and we were able to get a tree up. But other then that we didn't do much for the holidays.

 

This year, we are going to go all out! I love Christmas, the lights, decorations, festivities and everything else that goes along with the season. One thing we always do is new pjs.

The Callie and Riley pattern in the night gown length were perfect for my girls!

The Riley nightgown and sleep shirt comes in sizes newborn through 18 tween.

The Callie nightgown and sleep shirt comes in ladies size xs through 5x.

Both patterns include a nightgown and a sleep shirt length, plus long and short sleeves.

I love that EYMM gives you the full size range in each pattern.

The girls love their gowns. I have a feeling I will be seeing a lot of them before December. 

(Well, that is until the little one sees the Shopkins fabric in my stash and asks for another.)

 

Confession time...I may have had my Christmas music on while sewing these nightgowns.

Shh....don't tell anyone ;)

Five months to go! Time to start sewing!
