Josephine

Josephine Jumper by Rebecca Page Patterns This pattern is so different than anything else I’ve tried! It’s so unique – it’s a pull over dolman style sweater/top with a great cowl. I used a really great, soft sweater knit that came in an original sweater mystery bundle from Amelia Lane Designs. Pattern Link: Josephine Jumper

Boho Babydoll

Boho Babydoll by Patterns for Pirates Edit to add: I lost not only my dress but my pattern pieces somehow, so a couple years later I decided it’s time to reprint and make a new “first” boho babydoll. I tend to avoid maxi skirts with fabric that has too much vertical stretch (like rayon spandex)

Charleston

Charleston Swing Dress by Annelaine Patterns I made myself an accidental capsule wardrobe! I got so excited about all the ways to try styling the new Charleston dress that I inadvertently made a little capsule.

Sawyer

Sawyer for Men and Boys by Annelaine Please disregard his blue steel face. If he’s willing to go out in the snow to model for me, I will let him make whatever faces he thinks models make! This is the Sawyer shirt/hoodie pattern from Annelaine for men and boys. I made him the long sleeve

Frisky

Frisky Panties by Ellie and Mac So first off, don’t our new floors look nice? Can you believe that is linoleum? Okay, second, I’m not much for sewing underwear. In my size they aren’t as much of a scrap buster as I would like and I wear such cheap Walmart underwear that it’s not worth
