Back in 2020, I did my very first pattern test for Love Notions. It was the Sunday Romper. At that time, I made the dress version~ because I “knew” I would look terrible in a romper! My thoughts were: “I’m too old to wear a romper”, “I’m too short to wear a romper”, “Pear shapes can’t wear rompers” and the excuses went on.

It was a nice quiet week ~ got some sewing done and spent time with different family members. Dinner and walking the river boardwalk with my sister, a 31.5 mile bike ride with my husband and lunches with my daughters who came down from the city. It was a great week! Looking back it looks like it was Aria week!!

I wasn’t planning on sewing up a new Melody Dolman for this week’s Feature Friday. But then, I finished this new Caprice skirt and I knew a crisp white Melody was exactly what it needed!
So~ do you ever struggle getting your shirts like the Melody to “tie-up” nicely? Every time I tried to do it in the past, it just looked like a mess. Scroll all the way to the end to see the trick I’m using now!

I am so excited for this new pattern release! I jumped at the chance to test this new pattern, even though I NEVER sew pants for myself! I admit, I have a hard time finding pants that fit my full hipped and short body~ and I am amazed at how these fit me~ read more on that below.

Personally, I made these pants for bike riding. These will be great for when the weather cools down and I no longer want to wear my Tinley Skorts. But, these pants are great for just about any activity~ not just hiking! The Meadowlarks also sew up into the cutest pull on casual pant! I’ve somehow managed to take this hiking pants pattern to coastal preppy! See pics below!
