Textile Studio Patterns Basic Top + McCalls 6996 = A Great Twinset
Hello all, A few days ago, I ventured to my local Fabricland for some buttons to complete my green linen shirt that I wrote about here. “Buttons only!”, I said to myself as I drove there. And then, “It’s like two cardigans and a top for $100”, was the justification for the cuts of fabric laying on my back seat as I drove home again. But can you blame me? Just look at this lovely knit.

Sunday Power Sewing and Stash Busting – New Look 6838
Hello all, Down in my sewing room, I have three Rubbermaid totes full of fabric along with several bags of additional yardage piled on top, tucked in to drawers and hanging in closets. Now, I know that some of you will read that and say “Pfft…what a Rookie!” however the disorganization of it is what is bothering me, more than the quantity. I stopped myself from going out to buy an additional tote with the intent that I am going to figure out a better system. Please feel free to let me know of any ideas you may have.

Simply Dotty for McCalls 6563
Hello all, My local Fabricland was working through their annual inventory and had most everything on sale last week. I have a bit of a soft spot for polka dots. So when I spied two blouse weight rayon blends in cream and black, I knew straight away that they needed to come home with me. Stand up and be counted? Nay my spotted beauties, I’ll rescue you.

McCalls 2401 – Tried and True
Hello all, A few years ago, McCalls put out M2401 which on the surface is a run of the mill sheath pattern. A front, cut on the fold with darts at the bust and down the abdomen, two darted back pieces, and sleeves…or not. Where the clever folks at McCalls really did us a good turn was with the number of options and combinations that they put into the one envelope. Have a look:
