The Summer Breeze Collection by Little Lizard King

Meet Cararita and Byron Bay! These two ensembles are the latest releases for Little Lizard King. Inspired by the beautiful coastlines in Australia, these breezy skirts and tops exude a beachy, boho vibe. Unfortunately for me, I have no nearby beaches, but I can say that these lightweight maxi skirts are perfect for NC summers.

These patterns are available separately or in a bundle:

Both patterns include both a top and a skirt and cover sizes 2-14. Byron Bay features a choice of two maxi skirts (designed for lightweight woven with nice drape): straight or curved ruffle hem. The top is a button down top (designed for woven) with a ruffle and can be crop or peplum length. The bottom ruffle can be long or short and either open (with the buttons) or closed. The back is finished with elastic. Cabarita features a handkerchief style skirt (designed for lightweight woven with nice drape). The Cabarita top is a double layer tank with criss cross straps (also designed for lightweight woven).

I'm not going to lie... there was a point in testing that just before putting on the waistband, I seriously contemplated keeping this skirt for myself. I love this SO much!

The patterns go together easily, but give yourself plenty of time to gather the ruffle! It is totally worth it though, I promise.

I sewed up the crop version of this with the ruffle "trim" (the shorter ruffle). Take your time to make sure both fronts are lined up properly before adding buttons.

Cabarita

By choosing lightweight woven fabrics for this pattern, you can see how the fabric easily flows with movement.

The crisscross back is so pretty!! I think it's one of my daughter's favorite things.

This is one of those patterns that can come together really quickly. Especially if you press memory hems prior to sitting down at your machine. You can just zip through lots of seams before heading back to the iron!
