I have always loved duffle coats so I was very excited when the Tilly and the Buttons Eden Coat was released because it had duffle coat and raincoat options.

June was a somewhat productive month for sewing. I didn't make that many items, however the items I did make were new patterns.

Lately I haven't had a lot of time to sew or write because I have been super busy! However, I did manage to make a few plantain t-shirts. This time only one was for me though because if you couldn't already tell from my last post about the Plantain T-shirt pattern, I really don't need... Continue Reading →
In Winter I often find myself only wanting to make cozy and warm clothing, however those are often not the clothes that I gravitate towards when getting dressed to leave the house. So as a result, I have to push myself to use fabrics other than jersey and fleece! Following a recent sewing fail after... Continue Reading →
