Sweater Weather

We’ve had a much colder than normal winter here in SC and between the cold weather and what feels like never ending sickness (that’s life with littles for you), I just want to wear all.the.sweaters. Made for Mermaids to the rescue! The newest additions to the Lounge and Lace Collection – Mama Stella, Stella, and Dolly Stella – are the perfect solution. I’ve already made 3, and I anticipate I’ll be making even more through the rest of winter and spring.

When a new pattern is in testing, I tend to make a ton of versions for my girls, and only one or two for myself. But this time, I decided “No way, treat yo’ self!” And so I did. What really excited me was the keyhole back, so that was the first one I made. I love that it is perfect for showing off the trendy bralettes – like this Mama Bridgette from Made for Mermaids. Plus, it is super cozy in this hacci sweater knit from Pretty Posh Prints!

I know I’m not the only one who browses Pinterest for sewing (or maybe just style) ideas, and when I saw this sweater knit in Joann Fabrics, I knew it would be perfect for this hacked version of the Mama Stella V-neck. It. Is. Love. I could wear this every day.

Last, but CERTAINLY not least, was this absolutely amazing off the shoulder version in a sweater knit from the lovely Darcey at Sincerely Rylee Fabrics. I stumbled on Darcey’s shop a few years ago, and she was really my catalyst into the whole PDF pattern FB world. I had a few PDF patterns already, but hadn’t joined the club online yet 😉 She’s been one of my favorites ever since. I again paired this with another Mama Bridgette Bralette from Made for Mermaids.

I paired each of these tops with another new pattern coming soon to M4M as part of the Lounge and Lace Collection – you won’t want to miss these versatile lounge pants! The best part about this entire collection is feeling put together enough that I don’t feel like I’m wearing pajamas all day long, but comfy enough that I actually do feel like I’m wearing pajamas all day long. If that makes any sense at all. Moms – I know you get it! 😉

These patterns are all on sale individually and in bundles through Monday 2/12/18 at midnight CST! Mama Stella and Stella are on sale for $7.50 each, Dolly Stella for $5. Or you can grab the Mama and girls’ bundle for $13, and the Mama/girls’/dolly bundle for $17.50! I’ll be back tomorrow to share the girls and dolly versions I made. I didn’t want to overwhelm you with too much photo spam in one blog post 😉
