It's all about the sleeves.

There's a current trend for tops with what I call "enhanced" sleeves... may it be bell, tulip and such. I thought it was about time I sewed one.
Pattern is McCalls7542 (worn with Gap shorts and Adidas sneakers)



In progress:



This McCalls pattern comes with varying sleeve shapes. Check it out!
So many options!
Are you guys a fan of this type of top?

Haha, enhanced sleeves! I love that you're talented enough to create your own. You did a wonderful job. Would love to see you try the B pattern, if that's your style.

Look at you, looking crazy cute. I’m loving that shirt, ‘enhanced’ sleeves are all the rage right now. I can’t believe you made this, I need to learn how to sew.

I love the statement sleeve trend although with two toddlers I've been fairly certain it would never work for me - I have to dodge stains often enough, never mind having sleeves to get caught in messes, haha! I like this shorter statement sleeve style - much more practical but just as pretty :) You did a great job making this, it's incredible! :)


Hope you are having a wonderful weekend :)

Oh my gosh! Love! I bought a shirt recently with sleeves like this from ASOS but returned it because it didn't fit me right, but I loved the sleeves so much :)

 If you've been reading my blog for the past few months, then you know my love for Alabama Chanin. Here's the newest addition to my wardrobe. :) Alabama Chanin Flora Waffle Sweatshirt, worn with North Face jacket, UNIQLO pants, and Vans sneakers The organic waffle knit fabric is naturally dyed using Sappanwood sawdust, and the foliage design is hand-painted! What I love about Alabama Chanin is that many of their pieces are one-of-a-kind. PS It was my eldest's birthday when these pics were taken:) How was your weekend? Any new purchases lately?

Here are some recent shots taken with my Pentax K1000 film camera. I decided to mail my films and have them developed at Downtown Camera , and oh my gosh, you guys! Such a big difference with how they turned out. So so happy, and will be sending all my 35mm films to them from now on. (All these shots were how they were sent to me...no editing. Used Fujifilm ISO200 films.)
