I picked up a copy of the Sarah Shirt pattern with an issue of Simply Sewing Magazine. The Sarah shirt is a design from By Hand London. I chose a cotton check to sew up my Sarah shirt and I loved the way it turned out. The shirt was a good fit and the size […]
One of my favourite baby gifts is the Milo Vest from Tikki. I consider myself an intermediate knitter and with the help of the video tutorial that is available to explain a tricky bit, it came together pretty easily. It’s a nice little project that can be done on the go and gifted before the […]
This was a free pattern that came with a Simply Sewing Magazine. My babies are fully grown now so it sat idle for awhile, waiting to find the right person to pass it onto. One of my cousins had a baby girl and I thought this might make a cute gift for our newest family […]
I have made a lot of the patterns from Peppermint Magazine and this Everyday Dress from In The Folds is a great wardrobe staple. It is simple sew and comes together easily, great for beginners! I sewed the size recommended by my measurements but did end up sewing in an inch on each side seam […]
I picked this pattern up as a freebie in Simply Sewing Magazine. There is a lot of ease in this top. I sewed up the size recommended according to my measurements but I will probably size down next time. I sewed the top up in a heavy crepe and I like the way it falls. […]

Another one of my favourite Winter makes was a dress length version of the Style Arc Amy Knit Top that I made up in navy DBP. This was another hit with me because of the cosy cowl neckline (the pattern does come with different neckline options) and the fitted sleeves and simple design making it […]
I made one of the Tacara Dresses from Seamwork this Winter and I think I have worn it for the last time this year. Our Spring weather has been quite mild so far but the thick mystery knit I made it out of was too warm for today. It has been one of my favourite […]
The Love Notions Laundry Day Tee is a $5.00 bargain (and is actually free if you join the Facebook Love Notions Pattern Support group). I have been on the hunt for a basic tee pattern for awhile and this one is the closest I have gotten to a perfect cut for me. I made the […]
