Favorite things

These are a few of my new favorite things!! Neon on fabric and ruching on t-shirts!

Yep, I'm totally singing, and it's oh so much fun! Just imagine singing and dancing while wearing this beautiful new shirt!

This beautiful 10 oz Heathered Neon Orange Cotton Lycra is probably one of my favorite fabrics to get from The Fab Clique in a long time! It's soft and smooth and because it's not very heavy the drape was nice and made the ruched center panel stand out perfectly!

My sleeve cuffs and neckband are scraps from my husband's shirt, which I'll be sharing next week (here is the link) is the Heathered Neon Yellow Cotton Lycra and it is so fabulous! I paired it with black for Coby and it is truly fabulous!! But enough about him, lets get back to me!

This shirt. Oh my, this shirt! The Hey Babie from Halla Patterns and when I first saw it I wasn't impressed. It was just a fitted shirt with a low scoop neck and a faux cami or a nursing cami option. I wasn't thrilled, but then they did this update! And the pictures of this option aren't out in the front of the tester photos. Which is sad to me because this ruched front option is the most AMAZING thing ever!! From the moment I saw this option I was in love and bought the pattern the first time there was a sale and I had the money and remembered I NEEDED this one! And I am so glad that I did because this my new favorite pattern and I need to make more sleeve lengths because the ruched center will always be my favorite!!

A note on the coloring of these shirts. You've probably noticed that the neon orange is a little bit different for each picture. Oh, man, did this color gives me a run for my money with coloring! It was a bit of a nightmare!! I couldn't seem to get it correct and it was beyond frustrating!! So for a more accurate look at the color, you'll need to check the website.
