The Perfect Pattern for Your Summer Skirt๐ŸŒž๐ŸŽ€


 
๐ŸŒž๐ŸŒžAs temperatures rise, nothing feels quite as breezy and chic as a summer skirt. But what makes the perfect summer skirt pattern? Whether you’re sewing your own or shopping ready-made, here’s what to look for:

✅ Lightweight Fabric — Cotton, linen, rayon, and viscose are excellent choices. They breathe beautifully and drape well, keeping you cool and comfortable.

✅ Flowy Silhouette — A-line, gathered, or tiered skirts are ideal. They allow movement and a flattering shape without clinging to your body.

✅ Elastic or Comfortable Waistband — Perfect for easy wear and adjusting to warm-weather bloating.

✅ Length Options — Midi skirts are the sweet spot for summer: cool enough for heat, modest enough for a breeze. But minis and maxis also have their place depending on your style!

✅ Fun Prints or Solids — Florals, stripes, or tropical motifs scream summer. But solids in bright or pastel shades can be equally stunning and versatile.

A perfect pattern might be something like a gathered elastic-waist skirt, a wrap skirt, or a circle skirt. These styles are easy to sew for beginners and endlessly customizable.

๐ŸŒž๐ŸŒžThis summer, choose a pattern that makes you feel confident, cool, and effortlessly stylish. Happy sewing (or shopping)!

Life on a Small Farm: Work, Play, and the Joy of Animals

Image
There is something deeply grounding about life on a small farm. Each day begins not with the sound of traffic or alarm clocks, but with the gentle clucking of chickens greeting the morning and the soft bleating of goats eager for their breakfast. Caring for animals has a rhythm of its own, one that connects us to the earth and to the present moment. Raising chickens brings simple joys — collecting fresh eggs still warm from the nest, watching them scratch around the yard, or simply noticing their quirky personalities. Goats, with their playful energy and mischievous curiosity, remind us daily not to take life too seriously. Spending time with them isn’t just about chores; it’s about laughter, companionship, and the calming effect of being surrounded by creatures that live so fully in the now. Farm work may seem like labor to some, but here it feels like a gift. The physical tasks of feeding, cleaning, and tending are balanced by the rewards — nourishing food, a closer bond with nature,...
