  • Calgary Cardigan – All the Pattern Options!

    So many cardigans! We're finally through the heat wave here in the north east and it has me craving some cooler weather. What better way to get ready than to make 4 cardigans? I wanted to take the opportunity to sew…

  • Moxi Shorts

    Do you ever have those patterns that you love but are too scared to try to make? That was the case for my M pattern for the #abcPatternStashChallenge. The Moxi Shorts have been in my collection since they were released and…

  • Iris Shorts

    What a busy week! But I did manage to keep on track with my #ABCPatternStashChallenge. While I was not able to make two items this week, I was able to make my first pair of Iris shorts! And how fitting with…

  • Gaia Keyhole Tank Top

  • Cavallos and Cami Tank

    Making great progress with the #ABCPatternStashChallenge! Now we're on to letter C which I had the perfect pattern in my stash just waiting to be made. I also did a pattern test close enough that I decided to make this a…

  • Brooklyn

    It's time for the next letter in my #ABCPatternStashChallenge! My stash did not have too many letter B patterns in it, but one in particular stood out as my next endeavor. The Brooklyn. This pattern is actually one of the main…

  • Agnes Top

    Pattern number one is now complete for the ABC Pattern Stash Challenge!! What's funny is this was one of the very first patters I ever "purchased" and it took me this long to finally make it. The Agnes Swing top and…
