Another pattern test from Rogue Pattern company. This one is a loose fitting, wide neckline raglan dress with a handkerchief hem. It is very comfortable! Romeo Raglan Dress I had some focusing issues…excuse the slightly blurry pictures! I made mine with a stretch French terry fabric that has a nice drape. I felt like I […]
As the Girl’s gym teacher learned when he was trying to talk her into joining the track team. He was pushing hard, too. “Uh, yeah, no…running isn’t really my thing.” You can, though, still look cute in them. These are the Rumba Joggers from Rogue Patterns, set to release tomorrow. They come in a huge […]
It was hard to cut into my Carina Nebula brushed poly from Zenith & Quasar fabrics, but I knew that the pattern would fit well. Brasov from Itch to Stitch This is the new Brasov top from Itch to Stitch, and I tested it. This was my first test top, and I didn’t really need […]

The lovely things about sewing up samples, is that you get to see all the pretties ahead of time. The other lovely thing is you get seasonal fabrics WAY ahead of time and have to sew them up! So you are done EARLY! Golden Oak by Fabric Anthropology This is part of the holiday fabric […]
One of the things I like about sewing up strike-offs of fabrics is that it forces me to be more creative. The other seamstresses are good at what they do, so just making a plain top or something isn’t trying hard enough. I want to make something awesome with the strikes! Awesome it is. She’s […]
Go Pack Go! Sara at RP Custom Fabrics has a new pre-order up with tartan plaids in team colors. How awesome is that?? I love this idea and had to make up a top for me in the Green, Gold and White Tartan. I didn’t have any matching green, so I went to the closet […]
