So cute! I think I'll have to make one for my kindle! What are you reading lately? I'm currently balls deep in the Throne of Glass series, but I'm thinking I'm gonna take a little break for some contemporary romance.

That Melilot Top is so beautiful. Jordan is super lucky! You went above and beyond with birthday gifts this year. It's sweet to see them bringing you a cocktail, so clearly you are both spoiling each other. ❤ I never thought to make a t-shirt dress from the core t-shirt. You are giving me some serious ideas! I'm sure I've commented on your blanca flightsuit before but come on.... How could I not say how amazing it looks! 😍🔥 You've been knocking out of the park lately!

Maybe the skirt is a little bigger because the fabric is a looser weave than the previous fabric causing it to stretch more? I LOVE that skirt btw, might need that fabric in my life 😅

You are probably right about the weave of the fabric. I would highly recommend it though...it is lovely to work with.

So many great makes! I am gearing up to make the Blanca Flight Suit (someday, I'm scared!😅) and I am OBSESSED with yours. It's amazing. I've never made a jumpsuit before, so I've been thinking about starting with the Zadie because it seems like it might be a bit more simple to make and fit. Your new Zadie is beautiful on you. I love it long, but I think it would also be super cute if you shortened it. Thanks for sharing your projects! 💙
