Hello friends!

How is your October so far? We’re about to go into a modified second lock down, so that’s how my month is going! Actually, I’m really thrilled that we managed to complete our photo shoot last week, especially since you might remember that last season’s shoot was delayed by several months due to our first lock down. This lock down is nothing like last time, but I’m still relieved I don’t need to worry about it. We hope to have new patterns for you very soon, and I’m really excited about how these turned out. I’ll have some sneak peeks for you shortly.

Also, a few of you have asked about our Lisette for Butterick designs. Some of those patterns have been delayed due to Covid as well, but they are still coming in future seasons!

This looks to me like a Natalie Chanin hand-stitched pattern, but I can’t say for sure. Isn’t it pretty?

It’s almost soup weather! The evenings here in Madrid are cool enough that we’re already made a few soups, but I’m looking forward to many more.

Autumn wardrobe inspiration: love the colors, below left, and I’m definitely taking a lesson from this chic woman on how to style my checked tweed Chaval Coat.

  1. Yes, that’s an Alabama Chanin patterns that they call ‘Tartan’. Isn’t it maddening when people pin images like that with no link back to the source?! (You can often find it by doing the similar image search, though.) https://alabamachanin.com/products/geometric-check-tartan-stencil

    “What are you sewing in the meantime?” I’m working on fitting the Classic shirt, this is my first serious attempt at fitting a top, trying a narrow shoulder adjustment today. Looking forward to seeing the new patterns. Hope you stay well.

    I really don’t like pocket fringe! Leather fringe is a different story when used appropriately. IMO! I love the pics of Madrid.

    And now we know why subsequent to Champs-Élysées shoot Diana Ross’s contract always contained a no-traffic clause.

    As a rule, I am not a vintage style lover – except when it comes to the 1960’s. The clothes in the Diana Ross / Supremes video are timeless in my humble opinion!
