Treat Yo Self with the SUAT Brazi in Rockerbye Fabric!

I'm so excited today to feature one of my favorite most versatile patterns out there.  I've used it for bras, dresses, nursing bras, nursing tanks and more! I'm talking about Stitch Upon a Time Brazi Pattern!   Yay!! I've used the Brazi so much over the years and it never fails me.  Perfect timing too for all the new years getting back into workout routine goals!  Let's chat about the pattern and then I'll give you some examples. The Brazi pattern is a unique one in that you basically get 3 patterns in one.  The top part is a fully lined cross...

Zombie Rashguards- Sun Beware!

Hooray!!  We are so close to the official start of summer I can taste it!   My kids love to be outside and love the water.   I love when they are outside- that's less time they are bothering me inside.... kidding.... kind of.   What I don't love is the sunblock game.  We use the super natural blah blah blah kids kind and they are always really thick and sticky and trying to chase down my kids to get it on is always super fun.  Plus that's another bath or two when I'm already giving two a day from the dirt!  Insert...
