Check out this cutie in her new Tess Top from @madeformermaids 💕 She said these are really comfy (especially with her cardigans), but her favorite part is that it’s named after her (😅it isn’t, but she doesn’t need to know that). I already grabbed the women’s pattern, too, so I can make a few for myself!

A week or so ago, I upcycled this sweet peplum for Tess out of one of Eric’s old dress shirts. Unfortunately, the day I have it to her, she put it on at nap time immediately before emptying an entire tube of forgotten Desitin and a container of coconut oil all over herself and her room. 🤦🏻‍♀️😓 #whatkatymakes #ellieandmac #ellieandmacpatterns #eambecurious #upcycle #eamupcycle #ellieandmacupcycle #daddyandme

Instead of “sugar and spice and everything nice” I think Tess’s saying is “ruffles and twirls and dinosaur roars.” ❤️🦖 Patterns: Kids Cutie Mac Capsule from @ellieandmac_patterns #whatkatymakes #ittybittytess #teresaruth #rufflesandtwirls #rufflesandtwirlsanddinosaurroars #ruffles #boutiquestyle #toddlerboutique #toddlerboutiqueclothing #lovebites #hearmeroar

All right, I’m pretty proud of this one. I mashed two different patterns together to achieve this woven romper! I used the Be Bold Top and Dress and the Feel Pretty Pants patterns, both from @ellieandmac_patterns together to achieve my vision. I can’t wait to wear this when the PA weather warms up (let’s pretend there’s not still ice on my parents’ pond behind me 😅)!

Are you tired of me yet? 😅 I have been testing up a storm this month! This is the new Women’s Sausalito pattern from @littlelizardking and it is FANTASTIC. Super comfy, super versatile, and perfect to match with your mini humans as there is also a kid’s pattern! There are options for arm ruffles, a hem ruffle (like mine!), short sleeves, or long sleeves. I made this out of the new modal knit from @joann_stores and it makes me feel fancy while feeling like I’m wearing a comfy sweatshirt. 💕 I can’t wait to make a matching one for Tess! #whatkatymakes #littlelizardking #littlelizardkingpatterns #llksausalito #llkwomenspatterns #llkwomenssausalito #rufflehem #rufflehemsweater #handmadewithjoann

I love this new top so much. 💕 I got to test the twist-back version on the new Carli from @madeformermaids and it is so comfy and pretty. It’s even reversible! I paired it with a Bree tank underneath, too. I have one planned for my SIL to wear with the twist in front for nursing my almost- niece or nephew. 😍 #whatkatymakes #madeformermaids #madeformermaidspatterns #m4mcarli #twistbacktop #crossbacktop #crossovertop #twisttop #sseformecontest #sosewenglishfabrics #sosewenglish
