I’ve officially found my new pool "uniform"! In today’s video, I’m walking you through my latest make: a coordinated pool-to-beach set using the new Love Notions Somerset pattern. This pattern is such a fantastic wardrobe workhorse, featuring a knit top paired with pants or shorts that can be made in both knit and woven fabrics.
For my version, I used a gorgeous French Terry from StyleMaker Fabrics, which gives the set the perfect weight and comfort for summer lounging. I’m also diving deep into the specific fit adjustments I made to ensure this set feels as good as it looks. Whether you're looking for tips on custom fitting or just some summer sewing inspiration, I hope this look at my finished set encourages you to get behind your machine!
