Burda Anda Review
I thought I would take a moment to review the Burda Anda pattern. I posted the review to Pattern Review but I have it below for my faithful readers.
Frock by Friday: Anda – Thursday/Friday
So I finished it today. In fact I ended up doing most of the work today since I spent the rest of the week fixing up the pattern. Read on for more details of how I did it.
Frock by Friday: Anda – Wednesday
So today I didn’t quite follow the directions since I was still working on my pattern. I started by marking off 1.5″ from each side. Then I had to adjust the armholes. I used my French curve to draw the line from the existing shoulder to where the new armpit is. I did this because…
Frock by Friday: Anda – Tuesday
Okay. It’s day two. The only thing to do today is to cut out the pieces. I’ve finally picked out my fabric: The white you see is a cool embroidered edge that I think will add something interesting to the bottom of this otherwise plain and simple dress.
Frock by Friday: Anda – Monday
So I am following along with the Frock by Friday sew-along. This is a really easy dress we’re doing. A bit below my level. But I need an easy one in order to finish by Friday since I don’t typically have that much time during the week.

Very excited to share the latest pattern test I did for Pattern Emporium. This one is the Heartstrings Dress with Optional Shelf Bra and it’s a great summer dress (or winter if you like to layer). It’s got several options for the skirt length, back height and how to do the straps, plus a shelf…
3D Printed Embroidery Thread Holder
I recently decided I needed to free up more space on my sewing table. One way I decided to do that was by replacing several of my standing thread racks with storage containers. For threads like embroidery, metallic and other specialty types, it’s fine to not have them out visible all the time. I still…
Pattern Emporium Field of Dreams Strappy Tiered Dress
I had the opportunity to test another pattern from Pattern Emporium so of course I jumped at the chance since their patterns are always so high quality. This one is their new Field of Dreams Strappy Tiered Dress and Top which was just release last week. I would have posted this sooner, but I was traveling. Obviously,…
Pattern Emporium Meet You There Dress
This little cottagecore number is the newest pattern from Pattern Emporium that I had the pleasure of testing called the Meet You There Dress. This pattern has several options including 2 sleeve lengths or sleeveless, 2 necklines, at least 5 possible lengths and a bunch of add-ons. I went with the 3/4 sleeves (pushed up…
