Made By A Fabricista: Vacation Vibes

We will be traveling to the Caribbean for Spring Break this year, so I started thinking about what I wanted to take with me that would be easy to wear, but also light and breezy. Personally, I love wearing linen because it looks so luxe while still being really comfortable. Since coordinated sets are still on trend this year, I thought it would be fun to create some pieces that I could mix and match for a relaxed vacation mini-wardrobe. (I just need to remember to pack my travel iron!)

I went through all of my patterns and came up with five different patterns that I knew would would coordinate well with each other, and that would work well with linen. I wasn’t surprised when all the patterns I chose came from Pattern Emporium. Their whole aesthetic is clothing that is on trend, easy to wear and comfortable.

For my first set, I used the Lightweight Yarn-Dyed Chambray Linen in Soft Oat. This fabric is so incredibly soft and airy.

I used the Rise & Shine top in the cropped length with the Vacation Vibes pants, which I shortened a bit to make a capri style pant. I love the high waist design of the pants and the in-seam hidden pockets!

For my second set, I used the 100% Mid-Weight Linen in Light Sea Green, which is the most beautiful shade of aqua. This linen was a bit thicker than the chambray, but also really breezy and easy to wear.

I used the Low Key Cami and Getaway Shorts for the aqua set. I love the length of the cami and how I can wear it out for a top with a lot of swing, or with a quick tuck to show my waist and give my legs more length.

Even though the fabrics are different weights, they still look great together for additional outfits. I love staple pieces that I can mix-and-match!

Since I sewed shorts with the aqua linen, I had plenty of fabric leftover to make a fun swimsuit cover-up for our beach and/or pool days. I used the Seachange Romper pattern, which has an option for a cute playsuit. I have made several pants versions of these in the past, and love how full and voluminous the legs are. This is a super cute romper to throw over my swimsuit, or just walking around town.
