I'm obsessed with this easy tank-top sewing pattern from Wiksten. It only took me an afternoon (with about a hundred interruptions) and it's easy easy easy! No fancy sewing skills required. BONUS: It fits really well over my 20 week baby bump!

I already have plans for a hundred more. AND the pattern converts to a dress as well if you want to lengthen it! I love versatility.

Unrelated, but shout out to The Horse because I LOVE THESE SHOES.

    that top is dreamy, and you look absolutely adorable! thank-you for sharing where you got the pattern, i have a feeling this could become my go-to for making myself some summer tops.

      PRO TIP: Use vintage sheets for fabric. It's so so comfy and very summery!

    I love this pattern. I've made about 5 or 6 of these tops! I keep meaning to take a photo of them and posting.... such is life. And it does hide an early baby bump oh so well.

    You and that tank look gorgeous! Love the fabric, your hair and make-up and the photography - lovely all of it! Congrats on another girl ... I think (unless you wear it to pieces) you should hand down this tank to your little one when she's older - how cool would it be her wearing the tank you were preg with her in!

    i have a wardrobe full of these! they're a staple for me. . . but they stopped fitting recently when i hit about 26 weeks. i'm thinking i'll have to sew some more up in a larger size or stretchy fabric!

    your photos are gorgeous.
