Hello friends!<\/p>\n

How was your week? We’ve been having some absolutely beautiful weather recently, and I’m starting to see a lot more tourists in the neighborhood again. Usually we have at least one month in spring in which it rains every day, but it looks like we won’t be getting that this year. Everyone is quite worried, actually, but it’s difficult to complain when you can sit outside with a beer or a coffee, you know?<\/p>\n

Spain loves its outdoor cafes, and the cafe just around the corner from us recently replaced their seating with elegant French chairs, so we’re feeling especially excited to try them out these days. Every time I walk past I think of this article about the chairs<\/a>. Why do I care about cafe chairs, you ask. That’s a very good question, and I don’t have a good answer for you. I guess I just like beautiful things.<\/p>\n

Pinterest Picks<\/strong><\/p>\n

Two cute ideas for you. The first would be pretty with our newest Lisette for Butterick sundress pattern, B6661<\/a>. The second would be great with our Liesl + Co. Neighborhood Sweatshirt<\/a>, for which we just finished the sew-along. (Did you participate? I’d love to see what you made if you did!)<\/p>\n

This neckline detail has absolutely captivated me. So beautifully done with that perfectly-applied invisible zipper, and so elegant! And speaking of elegant, I just adore the button selection at Atelier Brunette<\/a>. Finally, a source for really nice, quality buttons!<\/p>\n

Here are a couple of details that would lend themselves beautifully to our men’s All Day Shirt<\/a> or to our Classic Shirt<\/a> or Recital Shirt<\/a> if you’re sewing for yourself.<\/p>\n

Two color combinations that I really love right now: dusty pink with forest or military green and tomato red with rich khaki.<\/p>\n

Last year I bought an egg coloring kit and promptly lost it as I was packing for our move. But I’ve found it and we’re definitely <\/em>decorating eggs this year.<\/p>\n

I’m thinking about a lengthened<\/a> Liesl + Co. City Stroll Wrap Skirt<\/a> in silk satin, sort of like these. It would be easy to get the sarong effect, too.<\/p>\n
