If you follow me on Instagram or the Sew Jennuine Design group on Facebook, you’ve probably seen little hints about my next pattern, the Pixel Pullover. Â I had to keep some of the details quiet, as the pattern is featured in One Thimble sewing e-magazine and I had to wait until the designer and pattern {…Continue Reading}
Remember the Janie Dress I made last fall? Â Well Hayley at Mouse House Creations just released the Women’s Janie Dress! It has all the same neckline finishes as the girls’ version: regular neckline, ballet neckline, Peter Pan collar, and cowl.

Phew! That was a nice little break. I didn’t intend to take time off, but in the whirlwind of Project Run & Play and our family vacation to Florida immediately following, I just didn’t get around to scheduling any posts or asking for contributors while I was away.
