Things I've Made

Compiling everything that I have made!

  • 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…

  • Ollie Bomber Jacket

    So much has been happening lately! We're about 11 weeks out from the wedding and with all that planning I still am trying to find time to sew. If I am not sewing, I am making wedding party favor or working…

  • North Shore Swimsuit

    It's still as hot as ever this summer and I realized that I didn't have any swim suits that fit me. I went to the store to try a few on and was so disappointed in what there was available. I…

    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…

  • Havana, ooh Na-Na

    This time of year is amazing for weather in New England. The temperature is just right (around 60-70 degrees F) and the days get longer and longer. It also means that my Magnolia Tree is in bloom! This week I made…

  • Gaia Keyhole Tank Top

    Letter G is here and it is a stunner! I was drawn to this pattern as soon as I saw it because of the back. The Gaia Keyhole tank from Sinclair patterns gives such a unique look how can you not…
