Welcome to the Laela Jeyne Wanderlust Tour! Â This is a tour to celebrate the release of the Wanderlust pattern collection, as well as an anniversary event. Â I was invited to participate along with a group of sewing bloggers to sew one of the new pants patterns paired with a top of our choice from the {…Continue Reading}
As someone commented in one of my sewing groups “The mark of a good fit between you and a pattern is making it up again immediately.”. I agree wholeheartedly with this statement, so here you have my second Hey June Lane Raglan right on the heels of my first. I changed things up for my {…Continue Reading}
I jumped onto the Waterfall Raglan bandwagon with both feet, folks! Â This pattern by Gabriela at Chalk and Notch is right up Arden’s alley – swingy, modern, and comfortable. I made this just in time for Arden to wear to a local production of Annie with her Girl Scout troop. Â One cool benefit of living {…Continue Reading}
For obvious reasons, I didn’t take photos of the Christmas jammies I made the girls this year ahead of the holiday. Â Frosty always gives the girls pajamas to open on Christmas Eve. Â This year Frosty had trouble finding footed sleepers in their size so he asked me to make something instead. I used two patterns {…Continue Reading}
In my informal pursuit of the perfect raglan, today I bring you Hey June’s Lane Raglan *affiliate link. I picked up my copy from UpCraft Club. Like I said in my last post about the Bethioua Raglan, I hadn’t really ever considered raglans as part of my wardrobe. If I look at the items I {…Continue Reading}
The Flash Leggings were something I had been considering for a while. Â A solid, straightforward pattern that would be a good introduction to Jennuine Design patterns. The version Monica made recently for her son clinched it in my mind. Â After all, #boyscanwearleggings so why not put them out there as a unisex pattern. These are {…Continue Reading}
My journey to Bethioua: I’ve never given much consideration to raglan shirts for myself. Â Given my broad shoulders and large bust, I didn’t think they would do much to enhance my shape. Â After finding that I quite liked the woven raglan Coram Top, I decided to reevaluate my opinions and see if I could become {…Continue Reading}
I’m excited to share this project from a new pattern collection releasing this Friday from Jalie, the Galaxie Collection.  Jalie Patterns has recently started a promotions team and I applied to become a member (I was accepted).  I’ve sewn several Jalie patterns and have a great affection for the precision drafting, wide size range, and concise {…Continue Reading}
Nothing like getting two posts out of one photo shoot, right? Â When I styled my Laela Jeyne Scarlett Moto Skinnies with my Allie Olson Coram Top I hoped I’d be able to sneak a twofer and it did work out reasonably well. This was my second time testing for Allie, the first being the Highlands {…Continue Reading}
Woah, it certainly took me a while to swing back to the next review in my stretch woven pull-on pants comparison with this review of Laela Jeyne Scarlett Moto Skinnies.  To refresh your memory, I made shorts-length muslins of four different patterns, and have completed my review of Jalie Éléonore Pull-on Jeans. I missed the exact pose {…Continue Reading}
