Sizes XS - 3XL

Our mu'umu'u sewing pattern features three views, each with a different sleeve option: sleeveless, short sleeve, and elbow-length sleeve. The short sleeve is bell-shaped, while the longer sleeve has elastic at the cuff and falls to below the elbow. All three dresses feature princess seams, side darts with cleverly hidden pockets in the dart (optional), and an interior elastic belt to add additional shaping to the front as desired.  The back is gathered to a pointed yoke and the front yoke is a smooth crew-neck shape. This dress is a perfect warm-weather outfit for comfort and style.

Considered aloha attire, this loose and breezy garment has its origins in the 1800s when missionaries adapted their Mother Hubbard-style dresses to fit Hawaiian women. Originally a tool of assimilation, native Hawaiians have since embraced this dress and all ages wear it to social events, family gatherings, and for some styles of hula. The mu'umu'u's popularity has spread worldwide due to its comfort, ease of wear, and colorful prints. Typically, mu‘umu‘u are made of cotton and feature tropical florals or traditional Hawaiian motifs. You can make this garment from silks or linens or solid fabrics as well.

The cutest backpack!
Size: One Size, Color: Lilac Ditsy Floral
I was worried maybe this backpack wouldn’t last us the school year. I was pleasantly surprised as we are nearing the end of the year. It’s the most adorable pink and purple bag! It is on the smaller side but we’ve still been able to fit a normal sized folder in it plus her extra clothes and snacks with some room still.

VERY NICE BUT TOO BIG
Size: One Size, Color: Lilac Ditsy Floral
Let me start by saying its a great product and looked to be made very well. I did have to return it though because it was far too big for my child. Other than size being 1 size fits all with no dimensions given and, yes, somewhat smaller than other backpacks (for adults) it seemed to be a decent backpack. Too bad we couldn't use it but if you have a older kid would would great for.

Good Quality
Size: One Size, Color: Light Pink
Bought this for my 2 year old daughter for daycare. Big enough to fit her blanket, diapers wipes and extra clothing. Good quality and fits her well. She loves it.
