Thank you, great to know!

I’ll second Brittney. A lot of people swear by a nice pashmina wrap but I’d need a Pendleton blanket at least. I sort of thought the upside to weight gain would be not always being the first to get chilled but no such luck. A cardigan’s a better bet. I think fabric choice for the bistro will be your friend. And hey, here’s your excuse to get some…[Read more]

You would look killer in the Bistro dress with some tights and a cardi.

We have a skirt pattern coming out for Liesl and Co this spring that takes just a yard of fabric. It would be really cute in velvet, actually, if you can stand to wait until it’s finally released! It will be probably two months yet…

Welcome, Renee! I believe my grandma made most of her family’s clothes on one of those, and the motion was very hypnotic.

Don’t worry, you’ll get the hang of driving soon. I’m told that it’s the right turns that are trickiest, my friends who made the switch kept hitting the curb at first.

I’ve been having a lot of fun trying to sew as much as I can from my stash while I save up a bit for a trip to a friend’s wedding. Lodging in NY is just so expensive! And a chef…[Read more]

I’ve finished up the first of four gifts, and the next two should be pretty quick sews. I’m doing a lot of swatching for the fourth since I want to incorporate a few different small details I’ve been really liking. It’s funny how far from the original a given idea can evolve over time (and Pinterest). Right now I’m working on a certain style of…[Read more]

I have an old treadle in my sitting room, I keep a block of wood under the foot pedal to stop the babies pinching their fingers. 🙂

Must Not Buy More Liberty……

Paper Puppet Show love.

Wow, that is a lot of work but looks amazing! I am sure that would work.
