This jacket is Vogue 8346 which was my final project for the tailoring class I took virtually this semester at the Cañada College fashion department. This was an amazing class and I learned oodles.

Here’s a real throwback. This is the Amy Butler Honeybun Pouf (available here but you’ll need to scroll down the page). You may notice that it looks only partially filled and that’s because it is. It was created to fill with with scraps. You know all the those off cuts from making clothes? Or from…

Just a little seasonal knit. For whatever reason I had a strong desire to create a knit pumpkin. So I did. The pattern is the free Bulky Pumpkin by Fiber Me This and the yarn is a super squishy and soft superwash merino called Shepherd Bulky from Lorna’s Laces. It really is delightful and I wish that…

Here’s a Grace Circle quilt from the start of the pandemic. I was the quilter for this one and asked everyone for a single Welcome Home block (pattern) which I thought was appropriate. I requested bright colors with a black background and I think the colors pop quite nicely. It’s go a great clean, modern…

This is my first finished knit top! I crocheted a sweater a while back, but this was the first non-hat/scarf knit garment I made. I’m really pleased with how it came out! I did it as part of a virtual knitalong with Alison of Uncommon Threads and used Sami by Amano yarn which I also got…
