Adding a classic fitted trouser to your wardrobe is always a good decision. These pants definitely have all the details of a classic garment worth adding to your collection. I did not have any white pants and I’m so pleased to have added the Riva Pants to my fashion options. I hope you enjoy the…

One of the questions I get asked the most is: What’s your favorite hat pattern? And since Christmas is looming alarmingly close around the corner, I thought I might spice things up today. Instead of showing you one project, I’ve decided to show you a selection of awesome hats I’ve made over time – because…
If it comes- let it, if it goes- let it. One of my favourite Buddhist mantras. One true, and especially hard to follow in the midst of stormy emotions, which is precisely when you need to let go of something… anger, frustration, fear, hurt, expectations. But what is the inner mechanism of letting go? A…
A couple weeks ago, my family and I took a quick trip to San Francisco to visit friends and pre-plan our wedding, which will take place inside the awe-inspiring San Francisco City Hall. My fiance and I both lived there during college over a decade and half ago, so we figured it would be meaningful…
Pink (and blue) elephants on parade! These little baby outfits were made from the new nursery prints offered by fabrics-store.com! These beautiful hand-drawn, watercolor prints can be used for children’s clothing and various projects but primarily they have been designed to be used for baby bedding. How sweet would these fabrics be for crib sheets?…
The Capucine robe is so lovely! I’m excited to share why. Let’s start with the fabric choice that made this super fun! The pattern suggests woven medium weight linen 55” width and all the photos in the instructions are made with traditional texture linen but you MUST consider the linen/cotton waffle fabric as an option…
One of the greatest problems faced by the fashion industry is the ongoing production of virgin materials, in a world that is already overflowing with waste. The fashion accessories brand BEEN London are one of a new generation of designers tackling this issue head on, by only working with repurposed, recycled and renewable materials. From…
Do you know that feeling when you want to make something (whether it’s sewing, knitting, etc.) and you have the pattern and fabric and everything ready to go – but somehow you’re afraid to start…? I’m not sure if it’s the fear of struggling, of messing up – I don’t even know exactly what I’m…
A long time ago a close friend told me about a man he knows, an elderly gentleman who went blind during his middle years. This man told my friend that when his sight finally left, he realized he was truly seeing for the first time. Seeing all the beautiful things that the stimulus of sight…
When I received the new cotton fabrics from fabric-store, I thought, what a pity that they were not yet available a year ago when I was pregnant, I could have sewn so many beautiful textiles for my nursery. Nevertheless, these fabrics are perfect to make clothing or bedding for children of any age, the cottons…
The Riva Dress. Wait!? The Riva Pattern doesn’t come with a dress option. No, it doesn’t, but it CAN. I like my FS Zina Shirt dress so much that I thought, why not try making a Riva Dress option as well. I saw the potential that seemed like a pretty simple alteration so I took…
This year is very exciting for our family, my daughter went to kindergarten, she grew up so fast, but at the same time she is still so little. I wanted to prepare thoroughly for school, sew a lot of beautiful dresses, but this summer we moved to a new house and there was a lot…
Summer in northern Vermont is brimming with magic; the waters of Lake Champlain constantly beckon, the sun shines brightly for days on end, and the world around us feels made for exploration. My family went on a local outing for this shoot where we got to frolic in a forest and play on a rocky…
I’m back today with a fun, juicy hack for you. I recently made a Nico bias cut dress and admitted to you… I’m not good with making basics. I used the Nico dress pattern to make the camisole and couldn’t resist adding a little of my own flare with a layered tulip-style back hack. This…
If you have little ones and are in the market for beautiful fabrics to sew up heirloom pieces, RUN, DON’T WALK, to grab a couple yards of the new 100% cotton printed Percale and Muslin fabrics range from Fabrics-Store. I feel so lucky to have been able to test out these new cottons; they were…
