Pattern Emporium’s The Works Tank, a citrus-y version
And here is the second version of The Works Tank by Pattern Emporium that I promised you in yesterday’s post. And honestly this is my favorite of the two. This one is a size 8 at the bust graded to a size 12 at the hips. I measure a 10 at the hips, but I…

Pattern Emporium Wide Strap Tank — The Works Tank
Nothing like a pattern test to break me out of my rut and get me posting again. While I certainly have some backlog of items to post, I haven’t been making as much in the past couple of months due to travel and work. Fortunately, this pattern is super fast and easy! This is The…

Happy Hanukkah! Happy New Year! Happy Llamakkah! Pajama Set
For this last night of Hanukkah and the first day of 2025, I made a fun little pajama set consisting of the Cashmerette Fiske Pajama bottoms and the Pattern Emporium Hugs & Kisses Cami top. I’m not going to go into too much detail about either pattern since I’ve covered them before (bottoms and cami).…

Black Sparkly Hand Knit Venetian Tank
Contrary to popular belief, I do occasionally finish knit garments. It just takes me really long because I don’t actually have that much time to just sit and knit. Not as much as I’d like anyhow. So here’s one I did finish — a sparkly black and gold number. I actually finished it a while…

Fuzzy Brown Robe with Wolf Embroidery
My dad recently asked me to make him a druid robe, just in time for Halloween. He didn’t want anything complicated, so I opted for Simplicity 1582. I made version B, the hooded version for him. It’s really the simplest of patterns. The stitch line between the yoke and body is actually straight so I…

While I had hoped to have another piece from the 50’s I’m working on done in time, I had also recently finished this one so…

Seamwork Lyle in Solvang
This dress is made from the Seamwork Lyle pattern. I’ve been a member of Seamwork since the beginning. I enjoy getting their patterns each month, even if I don’t make them as often as I’d like. I’ve really liked some of their recent ones, so I’ll need to find more time to make theirs. In…

Charm Patterns Starlet Gown for Old Hollywod Glamour
This is the brand new Charm Patterns Starlet Gown available on their Pattern. Rarely am I able to make something this soon after it comes out, but I had a holiday party with the theme “old Hollywood” and this was perfect so I managed to tape the pattern, get it cut out and sewn in…

Cozy Classic Raglan by Jessie Maed Designs
Look who finally finished knitting a sweater! It’s not the first I’ve started, but it is the first long sleeved (knit, rather than crochet) sweater I’ve ever finished. I love it so much! The pattern is the Cozy Classic Raglan by Jessie Maed Designs that I started as part of a class with Uncommon Threads.…

Pattern Emporium Grab A Cuppa Cardi Pattern Test
I know what you’re thinking — another pattern test? Yes, and this is the third in the group, but I promise it’s just as good as the last two. Pattern Emporium decided to launch 3 patterns at once. They’re based in Australia so sometimes they’ll do that so they can hit the summer and winter…
