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…
Matching button-down shirt and shorts sets have been dominating my inspo files since early spring, but I had yet to make one because I just couldn’t pin down the perfect patterns to create the *exact* look I was dreaming of. Cue the Riva Pattern Collection. It’s comprised of a button-down shirt with either long sleeve…
First of all: I don’t know about the weather situation in your country, but what the hell is going on? In Austria, we had over 30C (86F) last week and now it’s 10C (50F)?! I am not okay. We went from Birkenstock Slippers directly to boots. No “slipover over T-shirt”-, or “cute dress with thin…
The phrase reached my ears while discussing future plans with a former boyfriend. I shared my dream to someday be a stay-at-home mother and still provide income, but not bear the primary burden of family financial security. To this he responded, “Not only do you not want to contribute to society, you want me to…
