George and Ginger always brings something fresh.  I love making her patterns.  Sometimes they push my fashion sense forward and take me out of my comfort zone, but I am always happy with the results. Today is no different.  Today I’m trying out the Slash tunic.  I used the mid length with both slashes at

My husband has a December birthday – at some point in our history I started buying us matching PJs for his birthday.  I thought he would be annoyed and it would be funny and that would be the end of it.  But he loved it.  So it’s our tradition now. I of course found a

I love the remnant bin and I’m a sucker for a scrap pack.  Sincerely Rylee has the best scrap packs! I don’t know what it is about this lonely last yard of fabric on a bolt that makes me want to adopt it. But I end up overrun by scraps and challenge myself to use

The new Aspen from Annelaine Patterns is perfect cozy wear for Fall in a waffle knit or sweater knit. I used Sweater Knit from So Sew English for this version. In a short sleeve, lighter weight fabric, this would be perfect for summer too.  I think a cotton lycra would be really great. The best

Fall is finally upon us.  For me that means cowl necks and cardigans! 5oo4 just released a new cowl neck top.  I knew I was going to love it because the 5oo4 Nancy Raglan cowl is one of my favorites too (blog post). This is the new Mabel pattern. I has an optional ruffle finish,

What’s more versatile than a sweater pattern that can also be a cardigan?   The Halla Autumn Sweater can do that!  It can be a hoodie, a cocoon cardigan, a short sleeve dolman like mine, a long sleeve with or without cuffs or even during the sewalong you’ll see it as an off the shoulder sweater!

Fall for me is all about different cardigans over my favorite summer dresses.  This one is especially different. The Copeland Cardi (named after a famous ballet dancer) has a tie front option or a ballet-wrap option which I made. The ballet wrap goes around the back and ties on the side. I made the waist

I can’t help it, I just love duster cardigans in the fall.  It looks like you’re wearing work clothes but feels like you’re still in your bathrobe.     The fabric I used is also super soft. It’s a brushed hacci (sweater knit) from Sincerely Rylee.   I also like how it disguises a too tight
