YesterdayĀ was hot and humid. And although I would prefer to just run around town naked, society and my self esteem both preferĀ me to put something on. Luckily, I had just finished whipping up my second Foxglove tank by Selvage Designs. This time I went with a cotton, simply because I had some in my stash at home. Plus I just love this Crystal Arrowheads from April Rhodes’s Arizona fabric collectionĀ and have been wanting to make something with it. I love the pink and mint colors! Ā My only wish is that this entire collection had beenĀ done in voiles and knits. (ok fine, that is not my ONLY wish. I alsoĀ secretly wish I could quit my job and be a professional dancer, I wish I could get pregnant and have a baby, I wish that we lived in a world that thought it was ok for men to hold hands but not to hold guns, I wish that world poverty would end. And yes I wish this collection was done in only knits andĀ voiles. Ok now we all know how I feel.) Ā Anyways, well because this fabric wasĀ 100% cotton, this particular tankĀ does not have as nice of a drape as my last Foxglove, but it still turned out great and because of the fit, I still didn’t have to use a zipper. One of my favorite parts about this pattern! As we were running around town doing errands yesterday, Will pointed out how the HabitatĀ for Humanity building in downtown Charleston is painted all kinds of crazy colors. So of course we had to pull over for a photo shoot. Perfect backdrop to show off the colors in my tank.Ā
