Swimsuit Edition Blog Tour – Classic Maillot Sleeve Add-On

After being on hold for nearly nine months, the Classic Maillot Sleeve Add-On is finally available to download.  When Ula from Lulu and Celeste and Deb from Sprouting JubeJube mentioned a Swimsuit Edition Blog Tour, I dug out the sleeve add-on, polished it up, and got it ready to release!

This add-on was fully tested at the end of the summer last year and I had every intention of releasing it, but then life got in the way and I was completely distracted and released three or four complete patterns since then.  Since I adore how the Classic Maillot looks with either the long or the short sleeves, I knew I needed to get this add-on out there for people to use.  The fully illustrated add-on is not a stand alone pattern like the free Classic Maillot SwimSkirt, which means this supplement needs to have the pattern pieces and tutorial to the Classic Maillot PDF Pattern to be complete.  However it went through the tester ringer just like all of the patterns in the DbCA shop.

classic maillot sleeve Last Halloween my girl wanted to be Ariel so I used the long sleeves to make a costume that would hold up in the frigid October weather.  I made the maillot a little bit big at the time since I was hoping she’d be able to wear it this summer as well.

Here’s the long sleeved maillot without the tail portion.  You can see it’s a little bit too big for her on top, but she was madly in love with it anyway!

I hope you’ll follow along with the rest of this great tour!  Here’s a link to a bunch of fun giveaways for the tour, including a free pattern of choice from DbCA.

Once again this baby surprised us. Yesterday morni Once again this baby surprised us. Yesterday morning she just started counting to ten on her own 😆😆 She was star struck watching herself on the camera so she didn’t go past five here, but in person she rolls right past ten and tries for 11 and 12 😍😍
You guys, this girl is having a real hair moment. You guys, this girl is having a real hair moment. After waiting literal years for her hair to grow in, it’s now turned into an 80’s rocker look with how spikey it all is on top and the extra length in back😆😆 
But we LOVE this Journal Jumpsuit from @jennuinedesign and she LOVES wearing it to jump on the couch. 😬😬😍😍She’s a real talker these days so I had to use the Story Teller cut file, also from the Lounge Library collection.  Check out @projectrunandplay for the details on the sale on this pattern this week only!
Fabric is a lush French terry from @knitfabricdotcom and the contrast is a solid from @wolfandrabbitfabrics

Have you seen the mini season of @projectrunandpla Have you seen the mini season of @projectrunandplay details yet?  I’m super excited about everyone sharing more of the Project Lounge Library collection and the freebies we’re offering!  First up is this perfectly sized book tote from @jennuinedesign. My girl LOVED the one I made from the second she saw it Christmas morning!  The cut file design is also from the collection as well as her nightgown 😍😍
There’s a whole Percy Jackson collection inside there along with three other (heavy) books, so it’s a nice sturdy tote that holds plenty!

Well it’s not as many books as I’ve read in pa Well it’s not as many books as I’ve read in past years, nor did I reach my (what I thought was an easy) minimum goal of 50, but then again all that was set back in January before I knew I’d have very little time to myself for 3/4 of the year 😆🤪 
I read lots of different genres, including a few oldie juvenile favorites to preview for or read alongside my daughter. 💕💕
Some were book club reads and some were suggestions from Instagram friends, but I really enjoyed them all. Of course the new Louise Penny was my favorite 😍

I've always loved making. At an early age I started cross stitching and sewing and I taught myself to knit and crochet during college. When our seven year old daughter Bean was born I was filled with all sorts of inspiration, so now I find ways to manage my crafty time and treasure those moments. Though sewing is what I'm most passionate about these days, there's something about the portability of yarn crafts and embroidery that keeps drawing me back in.
