The Lilac Needle
  • 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…

  • 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…

  • Lily Dress

    Getting pretty close to half way with the #abcPatternStashChallenge now! I've been really digging the spring vibes still even though we're well into summer and the Lily dress is a great option to have for any season of the year. Now…

  • 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…

  • This is One of my Favorite Tees

    We are making headway with the #ABCPatternStashChallenge! This week it is the letter F which for my challenge is the Favorite Tee from Patterns for Pirates. I must say after making this shirt, the name really suites the pattern. I can…

  • Elevate Crop Top and Overlay

    So I won't lie, my E pattern for the #ABCPatternStashChallenge was one I've made a few times... but never for myself. I did make one Crop top to match some leggings I made earlier this year, but I'm taking this challenge…
