So, I made this over a month ago but have been really debating whether or not to post it because 1. my children are much cuter than me and 2. this top was a total jimmy-rig creation. Literally, I put some white cotton fabric on the floor and LAID DOWN ON IT! to get the rough measure of myself. Is that horrible to admit? But I actually wear this top quite a bit... it's nice and comfy, and I do like to two crisp pleats down the front. So there you have it.
Also wanted to give you guys an update - Melissa and I are working pretty hard to get some things finished up for our new website, which will hopefully be up and running in the next couple of months. We have been slaving over some patterns and other odds and ends and are excited. We are both - like everyone - so busy with life that it's hard to see that this will ever be a reality! But we are getting closer and closer every day. Um, also want to apologize for the sometimes strange ads which have been popping up (anyone want a hot mexican bride?) We decided to try adding some ads to earn a little capital for the business but it's been kind of not so much of a success! If anyone out there has a nice little business they'd like to advertise just send us an email. Fun, fun, fun. :)

Oh my goodness...laying down on the fabric..what a great time saver:)
darling!
Without the benefit of being able to see it up close, I think it is adorable and looks great on you!
Love the dress! I wish I looked that cute in leggings - I totally can't pull the off.
I'm way excited you guys are doing patterns, I will totally totally buy them :)
Who needs a hot mexican bride when we have a hot sewing mama named Lynne! I love improvisation. Especially when it turns out so cute as this white tunic!
Such a cute top! I can't wait to see what yall are doing, I am thrilled to buy some of your patterns!
I can't contain my excitement!!!!
I can't wait for your patterns.
If you need any testers I would love to volunteer!
Your story is hilarious! And what a success the top was.
Are you seriously going to sell your patterns? My husband just had to pick me up off the floor. I second whoever said they would test for you :)
i love the top...love the pleats! v. cute.
soooo excited to see what's in that shop of yours. congrats ladies! it's about time ;-)
Oh how exciting...I can't wait to see what you've been working on behind the scenes! I have no doubt it will be great!
That is adorable! I love that you traced yourself! Too funny.
You are adorable!!! I love your top... that's so weird that I was just thinking today about white pleated cotton, probably because of your previous post, and I thought it would be great to sew a top. So, hmmm, sounds like a good pattern to me!!!
eeeeeee! patterns!
the top looks great -- comfy, and those pleats are sublime
You are completely adorable and I loved the look of it when I saw you wearing it. Simple is the key!!!
Your dad and I couldn't quit laughing about your discriptions. By the way, the top is fabulous.
Hurrah for mama improvisation!
I cannot wait for your on-line shop to open!!!
Love it! I can't wait for the website! This is so exciting for you guys!
Your story is so hilarious!
Way cute, Lynne. Your improvisations look very professional, I must say. :) How fun that you are started up a webpage/business! You'll be a hit!
Very cute. Just right with the leggings!

I understand that all good things take time, but I so cant wait to see this new website! This top is beautiful and fresh and looks great with the leggings. I am going to try the lying on the fabric method- why didn't I think of this earlier...thanks Lynne

It's a beautiful blog you have here ! I really like what you do.
That's adorable. If I tried that, I would end up with a sack. Did someone else trace you? And are the patterns for little people only?
Can not wait for your new site to open!!
Love the outfit Lynne - you are always so stylish.
xoxo
ok, that's incredible to me!!what a cute top!!
my sister-in-law just introduced me to your site and i just fell in love with it. it's so wonderful to find others that share the same simple visions and aspirations of living a fun and creative life. i'm very excited for your web page. keep up the great work
Can't wait for that shop!
i thought that was exactly how one made clothes!?
oohh a new website, i am excited!
love
Love your site...sew a little bit...was totally excited and inspired to see your creations!! You really have a unique talent!
That is so GREAT! I am so relieved to read that a great seamstress like yourself laid on the floor and kind of traced yourself to sew something together!
I am always trying to come up with a way to make something fit and I use dish pans, basketballs, my family, the pets, anything that might have the desired shape.
I'm loving this inspiration!
J'adore! I want the same :-)
What a beautiful blog!
Cheers from Paris
This top is so great.....really!
Love,

Hi, I was wondering where you bought that ottoman. I love it!
so fantastic!
Lynne,
Will you get a comment this old? Remember I told you I had seen your blog but didn't know it was yours? Today I was perusing old posts and saw this one. I remember reading it when it was new. I remember thinking, Wow, that woman has a cool sense of style. I wish there were more pictures of her and her life. And to think I actually knew her way back when! Of course, I know nothing of the present day Lynne. But that cool sense of style is always there.
Hey, love the tunic! Where did you get the castle that your little one is playing with?
