Are you team hooded or team hoodless? You can sew both versions using my new bathrobe pattern.

I’ve added a few new options to the Top and Skirt Modular Pattern. You can now choose between two variations with dividing seams in the top (princess seams), and there’s also a gathered skirt.

This probably makes this pattern kit my most versatile pattern yet.

I also sewed up a sample dress with viennese seams (dividing seams leading to the armhole).

Have you ever created a pant pattern in my design tool and ended up with a super-short, slanted crotch curve?

You’re not alone—I’ve seen this happen quite a bit over the past few months. Let’s take a quick look at why this happens.

Okay, this jacket makes me feel a little like a grizzly bear, but it's so cozy! :D

This is the first example from the new jacket pattern kit. 

Capes are great, don't you think? Why do you see them so rarely?

This pattern is a great option if you're not quite ready to tackle a coat. Or if you just love capes. ;) 

Well, this WOULD have been my contribution to #shirtwaistseptember2025 if a few things hadn't gone wrong beforehand. Now I'm too late, but I wanted to finish the dress anyway, even though it probably won't actually be worn until next year.

The dress is once again slightly vintage-inspired, with a large grown on collar and matching cuff detail on the short sleeves.

A short cardigan to go with the sports dress. I think the pattern goes perfectly with figure-hugging dresses with a swirling skirt, don't you think?

In September, I'm starting my first ZUMBA class. Of course, I need something to wear. And I haven't done anything with my sewing kits in a long time. So, here we have my sports dress. A jersey dress with a half circle skirt.

I didn't sew any pockets into it this time (I know, boo!), but they would probably just swing around wildly while dancing. If you would like pockets, you can simply add them in the pattern kit.

Over the past few years, I have cut out and glued together hundreds of printed pages. Perhaps even thousands. Over time, it became somewhat tedious, if you understand what I mean.

So, I was all ears when I heard that digital sewing patterns can also be projected directly onto the fabric using a projector. I tried it, and it actually works!
