\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Good morning! I had such a great Mother’s Day, how was yours? K and M made me breakfast and I got about two thousand cards from K. It was fabulous.<\/p>\n

So for this week’s outfit(s), I changed things up a little bit. I already had the pattern from this book<\/a> and fabric selected in my mind, but I was curious to see what K would pick so I showed her the dress and asked her what colors she would want:<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

It turned out we were both in a pink sort of mood, but can you guess which was mine?<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Yep, the ikat-inspired print. I don’t know why I keep using home decor weight fabric, but for this simple style dress, I thought it would work. I got it from here<\/a> months ago, and sadly, they no longer carry it.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

You can see that I screwed up a bit on the front panel. I didn’t have enough fabric and didn’t realize that I needed to cut the front panel on the fold until it was too late. Of course, my lack of fabric matching skills played out here, but I thought it might kind of look intentional? It would have been an easy fix, but I was feeling unambitious. I still think it’s really cute! I have just enough left to make a small pillow cover.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Turns out that K is a natural at this fabric selection thing. I love her version about a million times more. To me this looks fresh and sporty and though she didn’t specifically request knit, she was very particular about the colors (“magenta in the middle, peachy pink on the sides, Mommy”) and I didn’t have those colors in other types of fabric. And I’m trying really hard to bust my stash so I didn’t want to go out and buy anything.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

She was pretty exhausted by the time we shot these yesterday afternoon – she had gotten up at 6:30am (a first for her. She’s never gotten up before 8:30am on her own). She’d been so excited to get everything prepared for Mother’s Day! Such sweetness.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

That’s a dolphin whistle she has in her mouth – not the smartest purchase on my part.\u00a0I think these are tissue jersey? Super thin and rather fiddly. The hem is a little uneven, but hardly noticeable.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Plus, it stretches to infinity, so she had a lot of fun with that.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

What do you think? Which version do you like from our pink-off?<\/p>\n

And thanks to everyone who participated in the giveaway<\/a>! The winner is MT, and I loved<\/em> reading everyone’s dream jobs! Isn’t it fun to imagine the ideal career path? Sounds like there are a lot of future shop-keepers among us! I also found it inspiring that so many of you already have your dream jobs, and stay-at-home mom was often cited with some serious job satisfaction!<\/p>\n
