Tell us a bit about yourself and what you do. My name is Elsa, I’m 39 years old and I make memory guardians in the form of fabric dolls. I graduated in architecture and after 10 years working on large scale projects, I became a mother and started sewing toys for my children. Through playing with…
A pair of red shoes started this project. I found them on sale of course. They are so cute, so comfortable but also I had nothing to wear with them. Ha! Maybe I should have thought of that first. I usually lean toward minimal and handmade things in my wardrobe. I might lean towards minimalism…
Linen tanks have become a signature piece in my summer wardrobe. I’m convinced I cannot have enough of these simple, versatile, and breathable garments for hot July days. So, this week, I added another one to my closet, the Phoebe Tank in Ash Linen. This pattern only took 1 yard of fabric and 2 hours…
I’m looking forward to share fun ways in which I incorporate new pieces into my closet. My background in design and styling has allowed me to see and play around with limitless ways when it comes to dressing up. When I create a piece, simultaneously I am always thinking about garments I already own and…
Since I left New York City and moved to the French countryside a year ago, it felt like I’ve lived in boots and jeans for months now, renovating my beautiful old house and taking care of the garden, going on long walks in the woods and exploring my new region. So I was very excited…

I was looking for clothes that could fit me at 28 weeks of pregnancy and that would remain relevant even after the birth of the baby. I saw the ABBEY Wrap Cardigan pattern on the Fabric-store website and thought that was exactly what I needed! The pattern is very easy to understand and has only…
As someone who has recently dived into the patternmaker side of sewing patterns, I have come to appreciate how much work and attention to detail goes into producing a full sewing pattern package. A few of the challenges in creating a sewing pattern include creating efficient pattern piece layouts, laying them out on different paper…
I am, admittedly, a creature of habit. Once I discover a style that works for me, I just add more of it to my wardrobe. This is exactly what happened when I discovered the beauty of a wrap top! For me, nothing beats the wrap top when it comes to comfort and ease. It just…
I jumped on the linen culottes trend by sewing a pair of CASS Wide Leg pants last week! To no one’s surprise, I decided to make this classic and versatile piece in FS BLACK heavy linen, my favorite fabric lately. The heavier-weight is a little stiff at first, but softens beautifully after a few washes….

The AMI Dress was so easy to put together and has such great styling capabilities that I had fun adding some extra elements to it. I knew I wanted to make the dress in this Pattern Collection because of how versatile styling it would be. To me, this doubles up as a perfect basic as…
As we welcome warm and sunny days on the farm, my time set aside for personal sewing projects becomes limited in exchange for time outside. This results in simplified projects, dreaming up designs I can complete in a couple hours in the early morning. Just as my lifestyle changes with the seasons, my sewing habits…
The AMI Pattern is my literal favorite right now. I have a mini capsule collection in my closet now thanks to this pattern. The shorts are my second make. I was so intimidated with assembling the pants, now that I have a better idea of the steps, it made sewing the shorts more enjoyable and…
