\"\"Texas is doing that weird thing again, where it’s hot, and then it’s 30, and then it’s back up to 90.\u00a0 Maybe I should accept that it’s not “weird.” It’s just Texas.<\/p>\n

So before it gets back into the 30s, let me share this fun Beach Coverup that I made for myself.\u00a0 I’m really digging this selfish sewing.\u00a0 And especially with easy summer items like tanks<\/a> and tees.\u00a0 It’s so fast to sew one of those.<\/p>\n

\"\"This coverup was something I based on a dress I already have.\u00a0 And I know I called this a “retro” coverup.\u00a0 The style is not particularly retro….in fact it’s more modern with the racerback. But the fabric is from my BLUSH<\/a> fabric collection and it’s called Retro Petals<\/em>!\u00a0 So there you go.<\/p>\n

\"\"I’ve mentioned this before, but Art Gallery knits<\/a> are really some of the softest that I’ve ever felt.\u00a0 They are buttery. And so stretchy—with a bit of spandex in there.\u00a0 If you’re new to sewing with knits, I have tons of helpful tips<\/a> to get you started!<\/p>\n

\"\"And if wovens are your thing, this print also comes in quilting cotton in two color ways (which feels amazing as well).\u00a0 In fact that’s the AGF motto—Feel the difference.<\/em><\/p>\n

\"\"So, for this project I traced an old coverup for my pattern and used an old t-shirt for the binding.\u00a0 Love projects like that! And love a pop of yellow of course.\u00a0 I gathered the “skirt” by sewing 1\/4 inch elastic around the edge, with a zigzag stitch, and then I attached it to the bodice.\u00a0 That’s totally my go-to method these days—like the Scooter dress here<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\"\"And there you go! Perfect simple coverup for our annual Palm Springs trip<\/a> that happened this summer.<\/p>\n

\"\"Of course my favorite part is the back—which is far from perfect, and I’m so fine with that.<\/p>\n

\"\"I just think it’s really fun to see a peek of swimsuit straps next to the dress.
\nAnd “Vikings” braids gives an added touch.<\/p>\n

\"\"This Retro Petals print is one of the smaller-scale prints in the BLUSH collection, and there are so many fun things to do with it.<\/p>\n

\"\"This jewelry case sewn by my friend Susan for the lookbook is too cute.\u00a0 And how purrrrfect do the petals look cut on the bias like that?? (tutorial here<\/a>)<\/p>\n

\"\" \"\"Make a quilt, make a bag.
\nMake it all.
\n(photos via AGF<\/a>)<\/p>\n

\"\"These two quilting blocks are SO cool.
\nI mean, the one on the left by\u00a0Kate Basti<\/a>\u00a0is blowing my mind!\u00a0 It’s like the fabric was made for those shapes.
\nThe block on the right\u00a0is from the BLUSH lookbook and you can find the pattern here<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\"\"And for even MORE sewing fun, AGF has a pattern PLUS video<\/a> for another block!
\nTime to get quilty.
\nMeow.<\/p>\n

\"\"So are you ready to sew with some BLUSH?? Whether your choice is quilts, apparel, crafts, or anything else, I hope you find something inspiring! Check out more projects and\u00a0where to find the fabrics here<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Annnd look at that, during the time it took me to write this post, it’s cold here again. Haah! Well, I’m sure I’ll be able to bust out this coverup again in no time.<\/p>\n
