Today’s sewing small talk: what tips or tricks would you share with a new sewist?

We’re closing out stock on several of our older Oliver + S paper styles. These will only be available through March 1, and until then you’ll save 60% on all of them.

Our new series, Sew Stories, is about sharing the stories of the sewn items that have meant most to you. Today Mithra is talking about the rooster in her kitchen.

She got so busy that she forgot them last week, but Liesl is here this Friday with her edition of Weekend Links.

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!
