Hello from California! I’m out on the West Coast for a quick work trip, and hitting up Tampa on my way home to drop something off at one of our schools. Everything’s on your way home when you’re in an airport, isn’t it? I did finish my Lander Shorts for #SewMyStyle just in the nick
I feel like a post on how I organize PDF patterns is a bit like a blog tour of my bedroom. For some reason, it’s very personal, and everyone always wants to see in case there’s a good idea they haven’t thought of yet! I’ve had a few systems in the past, but I’ve been

Hi friends! Amazingly, it is a new month, and so of course — a new Project #SewMyStyle prompt! We’ve seen so many gorgeous garments this year, and I can’t wait to see what you guys do with this month’s pattern. June is all about the Suki Kimono from Helen’s Closet! There are so many ways
It feels very appropriate to close out Me-Made May 2018 with my project for this month’s #SewMyStyle2018!
