Finally finished up some more quilts and actually got photos of them! This one is using squares from the Summer Sampler 2011 which I used to teach a class at work back before the pandemic. There are 12 blocks in the Summer Sampler, but I often did more than one to demonstrate for students and…
Okay, I’ve got one more (for now) Tank Dress: 3-Ways by Pattern Emporium for you. In my previous post I go into how much I love about the pattern. But now I want to show you some of the extra fun things you can do. The dress above — right, I know my dog steals…
I was super excited to be chosen as a pattern tester for the recent release of the Tank Dress: 3-Ways by Pattern Emporium. I’ve used Pattern Emporium patterns before and found them to be quite well designed so I was looking forward to seeing the testing process and being involved in making one of…
Technically I made this last year so I figured it’s about time I post it. I really need to get more timely, but then again it’s my blog so I guess I can post whenever I want. This is the Grainline Linden Sweatshirt. Although it’s labeled as a sweatshirt, just about everyone I know who…
Rumor has it that it’s French Macaron Day.

Yeah, so this one is long overdue for posting. This is the Grainline Archer Button Up Shirt which I made at a workshop with Lauren Taylor at Hello Stitch Studio which is the cutest and most welcoming studio you’ve ever been to. If I lived near them, they’d be like a second home. Also, you can see…
This was the final project for the other class I took at Cañada College Fashion Department, Designer Techniques in Sewing. This was such a fun class. We basically spent the semester learning cool and fun techniques you could do to a garment to move from the basic pattern to something that is more “you.” You’ll…
Due to the pandemic, we’re not celebrating Christmas with family this year, but I wanted to make it festive for my husband, especially since I usually do so much for Hanukkah. So I got a tiny tree and spent some time making a tree skirt to liven it up a bit. I did the text…
I am so excited to share this make with you! This was my final project for Flat Patterning at the Cañada College Fashion Department with Ronda Chaney. A silver lining to the pandemic was that I was able to save on commute time and take virtual fashion design classes. It also provided me with some…
