We’re hosting a Neighborhood Sweatshirt + Hoodie sew-along. We will be kicking it off on Monday February 18th and it will run through the first week of March.

We are happy to have Anne with us today. She’s sharing some makes from her favorite Oliver + S pattern, the Class Picnic Blouse + Shorts.

Mark your calendars as we will be hosting two sew-alongs for Liesl + Co. patterns over the next couple of months. We’re starting with the Neighborhood Sweatshirt + Hoodie.

Today Liesl is talking about fashion trends. Do you incorporate them into your sewing plans or not? Here are some ways to think about fashion trends without becoming a slave to them and how to use them to express your personal style.

In today’s Sewing Small Talk, how much of a planner are you? Do you plan your projects in advance or do you let inspiration strike spontaneously?

We’re continuing our fabric shopping series, visiting cities from all over the world. Today we’re bringing you a fabric shopping guide for Toronto, Canada.

Liesl is here with her biweekly links for your weekend pleasure. Spring is on its way!

Thanks to all of those who entered our Holiday Pajama Contest. The votes have been tallied and we have our winner!

Liesl starts our new series, Sew Stories, by sharing the story of two dresses her mother sewed when Liesl and her sister were young.
