I know the wait for the new Jalie patterns to release was filled with anticipation. At long last they are here and they are fabulous! While I eventually want to sew many others from the collection, I focused my sewing for the release promotion to two: Michelle #3911 and Simone #3908. The Michelle pattern can {…Continue Reading}
I really wish I had time to sew ALL the patterns for the Sew Fab Pattern Sale, because they are all AMAZING!! I’ve looked over all the pattern files and will definitely make the time to sew them when I get a chance. Having just come off a whole lot of sewing for my girls, {…Continue Reading}
I promised more details about *One Thimble Issue 19 (affiliate link), so without further ado here’s the first pattern beyond the Pixel Pullover I made from the latest edition, the Playtime Dress from Sew by Pattern Pieces.

Â This year Frosty had trouble finding footed sleepers in their size so he asked me to make something instead. I used two patterns {…Continue Reading}
In my informal pursuit of the perfect raglan, today I bring you Hey June’s Lane Raglan *affiliate link. I picked up my copy from UpCraft Club.
