Pattern Emporium 50% Friday Pattern is ~

Ocean Daze- Very Oversized Shirt and Dress

The Ocean Daze Very Oversized Fit Shirt sewing pattern is a fabulously roomy & easy to wear style. Everything about this shirt is so perfectly exaggerated.

Need a layering piece? This pattern also works fabulously as an overshirt. An overshirt is basically a shirt, jacket or shacket, that can be worn as a layering piece. I think the name of this pattern says it all~ Beach Coverup sewn up in a lightweight linen.

Clearwater Summer Essential Sewing Course ~ I Highly Recommend this!!!

I have made and worn my Clearwater Swim dress over and over and over (I live on the coast). I’ve also made the Clearwater sports bra and brief for my little niece. My Clearwater Dress was my first ever attempt of making a swimsuit for myself and I like sewing and wearing it so much I made a second one!

For more info on the Ladies Clearwater Summer Essentials, visit this blog post.

For more info on the Girls Clearwater Summer Essentials along with more pics of Vivi Lou, visit this blog post.
