Sybil Sweatshirt in Ponte

For some reason this new pattern from Just Patterns just spoke to me; I bought it and made it during the pattern release week.

Ponte Reya Pants

 After my first pair of Reya pants went so swimmingly, I went ahead and cut another pair, inspired by the athleisure/loungewear versions of the Reya pants that Gabriela and Nicole made. 

Emerald Green Marlo Cardigan

Almost exactly a year later and I've made myself another True Bias Marlo Sweater!

Sew House Seven Elemental Skirt

Free pattern alert! 

This is the Sew House Seven Elemental Skirt pattern, a free pattern that goes up to a 62 inch hip. Woohoo! I couldn't resist downloading and making this super simple but well fitting knit pencil skirt in two lengths.

Thank you to the Curvy Sewing Collective for spurring me to sew this pattern!

Pumpkin Estelle Ponte Jacket

You guys, it's decorative gourd season and I am really feeling fall this week... some crisp air, colorful leaves, and seasonally-appropriate pumpkin orange cardigan/jacket/topper thing for me!

Style Arc Cher Dress

Due to some efficient cutting, I found myself with a bit of Fabric Mart's black ponte fabric leftover from my Metropolitan Chimera Jacket... while the black was still threaded in my machines, I decided to make it into a quick dress!

Dude Sewing: Fossil Gray Ponte Finlayson Sweater

You might have seen this baby pop up on the Fabric Mart blog earlier this week... I wrote a ponte-theme post, with one garment for me and one for time. Ponte power couple?

Can you believe I have never made or worn a circle skirt before now?

Seamwork Astoria in Ponte

I've been getting Colette's Seamwork magazine since the beginning. I mean, I am nothing but a shameless pattern hoarder, and a subscription to this digital magazine comes with 2 patterns a month. 1 + 1 = 2.

Deer and Doe Brume

More skirts! Lots of skirts for me these days. I think my unjustified pants sewing fear, combined a plethora of cute skirt pattern releases is keeping me firmly in the skirt camp these days. Also, I am apparently into pairing skirts with this striped Bonnie top... maybe it's time to work on another one of those, too.

Paprika Jade Skirt in Ponte

A while back, Paprika Patterns put out an open call for pattern testers and I signed up, having admired their Jade skirt pattern for months. Sadly for me, at that time, the pattern did not come in my size. But lo and behold, since then Paprika Patterns has expanded their sizes! Woo woo! They wanted reviewers* of the new expanded size range for Jade, so here I am!
