When I saw that my friend was sewing a Lola Dress from Victory Patterns, I wanted one too! This sewing pattern for sweater knit fabric is available in both a digital and paper versionI It’s a cozy comfy dress that…
What happens when you find a pattern that you love??? You make all versions of it, of course. Last month when the latest Ottobre Design came in the mail (women’s issue 5/2013), I was so intrigued by a raglan tee with shoulder darts. I’ve sewn lots and lots of raglan tees for my kids, and none of them had shoulder darts. I know that raglan patterns for woven fabrics usually have darts, but this was a knit. I just had to try it.
Yes, I finally got around to sewing something for myself this week! This blouse is number 133 from BurdaStyle 1/2010. I love to sit and browse my favorite women’s patterns and pattern magazines and I was really nervous cutting into my precious hello kitty Liberty of London fabric (without having made a muslin version first), especially since this is my first BurdaStyle pattern to ever make. But the magazine model was also made with Liberty lawn so I knew my fabric choice was good, and I decided to trust that I could make any fit adjustments if needed.

This morning my baby girl Chloe (she’s really 8 years old) had her first swim meet. I was up late last night finishing up a red and black racerback swimsuit from Jalie’s well-known pattern. I had heard good things about…
This year I’m so happy that I’ve already made new modest swimsuits for both of my girls! Sometimes sewing their swimsuits is the only way I can find cute, modest bathing suits.
Today I’m bringing you my review of the Madelyn Shirt pdf pattern by Violette Field Threads. When I offered to review a pattern for them, I didn’t specify any particular pattern… doing this often makes me sew something that I wouldn’t…
I don’t know if you had noticed yet, but Sara from Sew Sweetness has now opened her own pattern shop! I met Sara at Quilt Market last year and she is just as sweet in person as she is…
