Our testers did such a great job with the Northbridge Jumpsuit! Take a look at how they sewed it and styled it, with a variety of fabrics.

Here are a few of the Chacarita Wrap Dresses our testers sewed. It’s so interesting to see how different they all look, isn’t it?

Thinking about our new Northbridge Jumpsuit and how you’re going to sew it? Maybe these styling and fabric suggestions will help.

Here are some fabric and styling suggestions for our new Chacarita Wrap Dress, with the wrap in the back!

The Northbridge Jump Suit has two sleeve styles as well as shorts and trousers, plus the pieces coordinate with our Tomigaya Shirt Dress to give you even more sewing options!

Introducing one of our newest sewing patterns, the Chacarita Wrap Dress. One of my new favorites and, I hope, yours too.

Here’s another lined Yanaka Jacket, this time in a relaxed and furry printed cotton. It’s so different than my wool and neoprene version, isn’t it?
