Nusch Blouse

After getting used to using translating apps and beginning to learn a new language, sewing a pattern entirely in French sounded like a challenge I was ready for (even if that is not the language I’m learning). This is the Nusch Blouse (sizes from 86-100cm hip) by Bertina Paris. It’s an absolutely gorgeous pattern, but the sizing isn’t inclusive. I … Continue reading “Nusch Blouse”

EA Saturday Shorts

This is my second time making the EA Saturday Shorts (sizes from 34.5-59.5″ hip) and I was very excited to make a couple of changes to make them fit better.

And before I continue, Treasure is the most amazing person and bag maker with the best style. She’s been growing … Continue reading “Double Gauze Esme Cardigan”

I have a really cool RTW button up … Continue reading “Archer Shirt”

Cropped Black Marlo Sweater

I had to make one last winter garment before diving into my spring makes, and this Marlo Sweater was it! I’ve made the Marlo Sweater by True Bias 3 times for myself and 2 times for other people. That’s how much I love it. I was so inspired by others’ cropped black cardigans, and I decided that it would be … Continue reading “Cropped Black Marlo Sweater”
