Earlier this week, Cashmerette released the Springfield top. I was a tester for the pattern. It came at the exact time I needed it. I was on the look out for a tank top pattern for wovens. My issue with most woven tank top patterns is that they don’t go up to my size. The … More Cashmerette Springfield Top (and some Concords)
This dress took me a year to finish. Last year, I was shopping with two friends for fabric and splurged on a lovely apple fabric. It was a super soft stretch sateen. I’m not sure of the fiber content, but I would guess cotton. What I adored about the fabric was that the apples were … More Apples to apples: M6887
Nope. Stop thinking that. I’m not having a baby! All of my friends, however, are having babies. I have about ten pregnant friends and three that just had a baby in the last year (one of those is pregnant again!). When I was on our honeymoon, I bought some fabrics with baby clothes in mind, … More Baby clothes
It was a long weekend in Toronto this past weekend and that meant I got some sewing in! I made two dresses that are perfect for the summer! The first one is a lengthened version of Cashmerette’s Concord t-shirt. Jenny posted a tutorial on making the top into a dress and I couldn’t resist after … More Jellyfish and Flamingos!
I’m back from the honeymoon. I had a great time and will talk a bit more about that here in the next couple of weeks as I get over my jet lag. That’s a real thing. I was a zombie by 4pm last night and fought to stay awake until 9pm and then woke up … More Muse Pattern’s Philippa Pattern
I finished my Spring coat! Waffle Patterns’ Pepernoot Coat. I love it. I kind of feel like this review is 100% fair to the real pattern. The thing about grading up two sizes and doing an FBA is that I can’t comment much on how the garment went together or how it fit, because any inconsistencies … More Waffle Patterns Pepernoot Coat
I made another two pairs of StyleArc Misty Jeans! First up is part of this month’s challenge on the Monthly Stitch. A floral pair! It’s made with the leftover material from my floral bomber jacket. JoAnn Fabrics sent me double the amount for some reason! End of the roll, but like a lot more than … More More Misty Jeans

Today I am talking about my Decades Everyday Three’s a Charm Jacket. After seeing Tanya’s and Meg’s versions of this pattern, I decided I needed to have it. I’ve been saying this is the year of blazers and pants so this jacket helps fulfill that. I will try other blazer patterns, but it’s nice to … More Decades Everyday Three’s a Charm Jacket
I recently finished a bra that reminds me of a prep school blazer. Funny enough when I googled “prep school blazer” one popped up that was the exact blazer I had in mind when I put the colours for this bra together. I totally want to make a blazer like this sometime this year, too. … More Prep School Bra
