Charleston Dress | Me Made Monday

The Search for the Perfect T-Shirt | The Molly Dress and Tee
I think when I started this journey I didn't realize how many t-shirt patterns have a dress option as well! It's been really fun as I've been making the t-shirts to also make the dress version.

During Me Made May, I've realized that I LOVE the handmade tops I have, but I don't have enough to really have a variety of them to wear throughout a month. As to not bore you (or myself) on my ...
