Lauren Top

Happy Friday friends!  August is fast approaching and summer is in full swing.  It's been hot hot hot, almost too hot for anything other than a bathing suit.  These super hot days make it hard to find something that won't make my daughter cringe and complain when I put it on her.  If you are in the same boat, we have the perfect solution for you today!

The response we received from the Lauren dress has been overwhelming!  We couldn't be happier with how much you all love Lauren!  We love her too!  She has quickly become a VFT favorite and we adore seeing all the different variations over in our FB group.

And while Lauren is a fantastic pattern we are so proud of, we knew something was missing.  Lauren is the perfect dress, but we knew it could be and even better top!

The Lauren top still has all the same lovely features as the dress, but is a great alternative for park playing and kite flying!  We are swooning for it in Playground by Amy Sinibaldi for Art Gallery Fabrics.  It is the perfect fabric for Lauren, showcasing the fun and whimsy of both the pattern itself and the fabrics!  Absolutely Adorable!
