Lakeside Dress by Annelaine Patterns After making the Mountainside Tank and realizing, I really do like racerback tops after all, I was ready for more and along came the Lakeside dress! I used Paradise ITY from Sly Fox Fabrics with athletic brushed poly in Caribbean for the bands from Amelia Lane Designs. It’s a nice

Lucky Girl by Ellie and Mac I used the Anniston Hacci Sweater Knit and the Olive DBP from Amelia Lane Designs to make my Lucky Girl dress by Ellie and Mac. I went for the tie option. The banded option is much quicker, but I wanted the look of the tie. It calls for tape,

DIBY.Club Patterns Over the last two summers I’ve made a couple of DIBY (Do It Better Yourself) Club swim patterns that I’ve neglected to share! The Amelia One-Piece The Amelia is my favorite of the two, It was super easy, it feels very secure to wear and the darts make it flattering. This is the
