Chalk and Notch Rivi

I was a pattern tester for the new Chalk and Notch Rivi blouse. I was smitten with the interesting angled front and back yokes, and the resulting opportunities for playing with stripes!

Medallion Reya Pants

Earlier this year my sister and had some fun picking out second-hand craft supplies at The Makery, and we scored some fun stuff!

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.

I can't believe it's taken me so long so sew another Pony Tank. Over 2 years!
