My next pattern, Laurelhurst, is all ready for testing! (Wow, I am not sure that fabric could be more wrinkled) Laurelhurst is a casual wrap available in sizes 0-24 that has both long and 3/4 sleeves and can made in a variety of knits. Included in the pattern are two optional button placements to change up …
I have had such a great time sewing up a closet full of Bellevue tops to share with you all week. I couldn’t let the week end without one more Bellevue top with even more small modifications to give you yet another version of this pattern. If you haven’t had a chance to read about …
The build up to pattern testing is stressful, I have no idea how the pattern is going to be received and whether the fit is going to be so off that it will take multiple versions to get right. But every time I test a pattern regardless of how many versions it takes my testers …
As I am coming out of the fog of a 24 hour stomach bug I am reminded that my life is less than glamorous sometimes and I love that about my life, I could do without the stomach bug though. Every morning I throw on my jeans that get worn far too many times between …

I hope you are all spending today feeling the love with the special people in your life. I got my valentines present early last night and have managed to only eat 3 of the super yummy chocolates my husband got me. They are calling me from the kitchen as I write this post, I will …
It’s safe to say I think I have found my newest obsession! There isn’t much better than a well fitting t-shirt. The Union St. Tee from Hey June is spot on for fit, so comfortable without being too tight. I sewed up the XS based on my bust and then graded out to a medium to give …
It feels strange to be back here with a tester call. I worked so long and hard on my last pattern, Capitol Hill, back in October that I knew I needed a little break from patterns to enjoy the holiday season. We did just that and then managed to be sick for the next two …
One of my goals for the year is to really stretch my sewing knowledge and ability. I know each project isn’t going to be a success but I hope to learn from the mistakes and make mistakes better on the next one. You will see lots of zipper projects this year, I am just rubbish …
