My poor blog has been kind of neglected lately! I just realized today after my own mother commented on my infrequent posting, that I have only been posting about once a week. So I am thinking I might try to blog every day next week starting on Monday. My blogging voice has gone missing a little bit I think and just jumping into blogging might help me find it :) Anyone want to join me?

I haven’t been spending nearly as much time sewing lately as I would like, although I did make another simplicity 3835 top. It was either that or do laundry & I decided it would be more fun to make a new top than to do the wash. :) (Of course I still had to do the wash anyways, I just got to procrastinate a little bit longer.)

I added an inch & a half to the bottom of the top this time and I love the extra length. I also took it in a little bit so that it isn’t quite as big around, but I think next time I will also try adding the darts to the back (as suggested by Lera) to make it a little more fitted since it is just big in the back now.

I love the fabric that I used for this one, it is just perfect for summer. This pattern is making me feel inspired to try & make some more summer clothes for myself. Of course having a new sewing machine might be helping that a bit too, since it is so much easier to sew on this one than my old one. (I think I would be screaming about the casing for the elastic if I had to use my old machine!)

I hope everyone has a wonderful weekend! I am off to try & get some stuff done (like more organizing our new place & maybe even a little bit of crafting). I’ll be back on Monday with a post a day for the week :)
