I’m trying to clear out my to-sew pile after the last year and a bit when I was often too sick to sew. A lot of projects in the pile had been cut out for a while. It’s been a while since I made a dress. I haven’t really worn them much this past year … More Blank Slate Patterns Marigold Dress

The Curvy Year of Sewing Jackets and Blazers theme was the perfect opportunity to finally make this Burda blazer. I keep talking about making a million blazers and then never doing the thing.
