Burnt Sienna Wren Dress

Here's my Wren dress!

Cider House Jacket

Just in time for fall, Snapdragon Studios has a new jacket pattern out!

Blueprints for Sewing Saltbox Top

I've had my eye on the Blueprints for Sewing Saltbox pattern since it came out as part of the Sewing Indie Month bundle... those asymmetrical angles! So cool! So elegant!

Testing, testing: Cashmerette Appleton Wrap Dress

Super happy with this make from earlier in the summer (as you can tell from my relatively long hair)!!

Anna + Veronika = Annonika?

I needed a dress to wear to a good friend's wedding recently (the same wedding for which I made my beach cover-up Mojave)...

Testing, testing: True Bias Roscoe Blouse

I was a tester for the newest True Bias pattern, the Roscoe Blouse and Dress, a boho-style, loose-fitting peasant blouse or dress with raglan sleeves, a gathered, split neck with ties.

Tutorial: Single Layer Slash Pocket

When I make pants that have a slash style pocket, I tend to like to make it a one-layer pocket to reduce bulk in my hip/thigh area. I've used this type of pocket many times, including on my recent McCall's 6083 jumpsuit, two pairs of Hudson pants (cropped and chambray), my two Bettines (rayon and lawn), Tim's Juba shorts, and my Ilsley skirt. I had some requests for an explanation of what I mean when I say "one-layer pocket," so I made a tutorial. A very, um, rustic tutorial, but hopefully it explains what I'm talking about!

McCall's 6083 Jumpsuit

I made a jumpsuit!! And I have a lot to say about it!
