    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…

    Pattern Emporium Short Sleeve Shoreline Top

    Here’s the other Pattern Emporium Shoreline Top that I made (I posted the other one yesterday). I’m not going to talk too much about the pattern since I talked about it yesterday, but in this version I got to try out a bunch of other options. The basics first though. This one is also size…

    This is the latest release from Pattern Emporium — the Shoreline Top. It was just released this week so it’s currently on sale. It’s basically an oversized button-down with front and back yokes.

    Pattern Emporium Take The Chance Dress

    This cute number is the Pattern Emporium Take The Chance Dress. I actually did the pattern test for this a couple of weeks ago, but due to life getting in the way I’m only now getting a chance to do the full write up on it. Overall, it’s a solid pattern like most of the…

    Pattern Emporium Grab A Cuppa Cardi, Version 2

    This is the second version I made of the Pattern Emporium Grab A Cuppa Cardi as part of the pattern test. For this one I went much sportier than the last and I love how the look turned out. This is the kinda stuff I live in around the house so I know it’s going…

    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…

    Pattern Emporium Hugs & Kisses Cami

    Okay, one more in this pattern testing set for you. This is the Pattern Emporium Hugs & Kisses Cami. It’s very similar to the Heartstrings Dress that was in the last 2 posts, but does vary below the bust. I made the same size in the bust as I did for my Heartstrings (8), but…

    Pattern Emporium Heartstrings Dress – version 2

    This weekend I posted my first version of the Pattern Emporium Heartstrings dress. This is my second version where I tried out several variations. Some I love and some I’ll only use once in a while, but I’ve narrowed in on my favorite combination. The most significant variation is that I did the low back.…
