Woweee, these last 12 months have constituted the year of coats for me! And the Lagan Coat by Itch to Stitch made the perfect capstone! I actually tested this coat all the way back in January and February, so I've had the chance to wear it throughout the winter/spring season already!
Peony Patterns has a new dress out, and it's just gorgeous! I had initially planned on NOT sewing up a Gardenia Dress in time for the release, but the day before the launch, I decided to get sewing on one. In chiffon. Because that is how I roll. Gardenia is Carlie Di Cecco's first design… Continue reading Peony Patterns Gardenia Dress {Release}
I'm back on the Fabric Mart blog today with a couple of outfits for me and my girls, all using some pretty Italian designer crepe!

I really… Continue reading Girls’ Spring Capsule – for Fabric Mart!
Because I clearly didn't have enough things to do last week, I also found myself testing the new Gothenburg Top from Itch to Stitch. What can I say? I really love Itch to Stitch patterns so I try to prioritize their pattern tests!
Last week I decided to test the new Peony Patterns Wattle Dress for my eldest. This is Peony's first knit dress pattern, and given how much my girls love a good knit dress, I know this one will get lots of wear! Oh, and did I mention the twirl on this one? She's definitely a… Continue reading Peony Patterns Wattle Dress {Release}
I'm so excited to share a project I've been secretly working on these last few months! While I have sewn for years, it wasn't until I discovered Oliver+S patterns after the birth of my firstborn nine+ years ago that I felt like I was actually improving - these patterns actually taught you how to sew!… Continue reading Liesl+Co Yanaka Jacket {Release}
