Sofilantjes is celebrating their 2nd Anniversary and I’m so happy I get to join in the party!
So many amazing bloggers and sponsors and HUGE giveaways you won’t want to miss!
For my stop on the tour I’ve got a simple hack on the Omni Tempore. With it’s crossover hood and kangaroo pocket, I knew it would make the perfect swim cover-up for my girls.
They have a hand-me-down cover-up in french terry that is constantly fought over. It’s the coziest, comfiest of all their covers and I knew I could recreate it in this yummy french terry from Raspberry Creek Fabrics.
I’ll share my simple tutorial so you can recreate this look for your little one. You can use a regular knit to make a cute summer dress too! I’m still new to tutorials so don’t expect too much 😉
Grab your pattern and supplies and let’s get started! You are only altering the bodice pieces.
It helps if your ruler isn’t broken but if you have kids I’m sure a few of your supplies have met this fate too! Make sure you measure from the top of the pattern piece (not shown to protect the designer). I lined my top up with the top of my cutting mat so I measured down on my center seam also.
Easy peasy, right? All we are doing is lengthening and adding a slight a-line to our bodice pieces. From there we sew it up following the pattern tutorial. Nothing mind blowing and easy enough for a beginner to do.
And you will have one happy girly when you are done!
It’s perfect for after swimming when we grab our favorite treat. The first snow cone of the season means summer is right around the corner! I dislike all things fruity- can’t even stand it, so my snow cone choices are limited but my kiddos sure love them! What’s your favorite flavor?
We’re ready to hit the pool!

We don’t have snowcones in the Netherlands, so I have no idea of a flavor. I love the ‘dress’ though!
