Hello, friends!<\/p>\n

It’s that time of year, isn’t it? As soon as I returned home from my trip I caught a nasty cold. Then some good friends came for a visit, and now I’m finally starting to feel like I’m back to feeling like myself and it’s already December! I hope your month is off to a good start.<\/p>\n

I’ll be back next week with a special tutorial to show you how I altered my Liesl + Co Bistro Dress<\/a> to make a completely different dress using the techniques from the Building Block Dress book<\/a>. And Rachel has some fun kid-friendly sewing projects for you, too.<\/p>\n

It’s been so long since my last weekend links post, I have lots of inspirational images for you this week! First of all, Wouldn’t this pink color be gorgeous for the new Lisette for Butterick B6423 coat<\/a>? The neutral tone on the right could also be really versatile and elegant.<\/p>\n

I love the details on this man’s outfit. The subtle purple\/burgundy shade to his jacket, sweater, and kerchief. The glasses. The kerchief with the collar. The windowpane of the jacket. It’s all good. I’m loving the neutral of this coat and scarf combo, which also reminds me of the Lisette B6423 coat<\/a>.<\/p>\n

While in Seattle during my book tour, Keli<\/a> and I dropped by to see the lovely Aran of Cannelle et Vanille<\/a>, who I first met when we were both teaching at the Makerie years ago. Aran cooked us lunch, and I got to see her gorgeous studio for the first time. Aran is so inspiring in so many ways, not the least of which are her fabulous recipes (I made the roasted beet, carmelized onion and goat cheese tart<\/a> from her photo below just the other day and it was delicious) as well as her stunning photography and aesthetic. I also loved her collection of dishes and cutting boards, which is why the image on the right, below, also attracted my attention.<\/p>\n

Winter and sewing. The two go hand in hand, don’t they? I love this color palette and the mood of the image on the right.<\/p>\n

These images just feel peaceful and cozy to me. I think I’ve been craving some quiet, relaxed time at home after all this travel and busy-ness!<\/p>\n
