Itch to Stitch Beausoleil Top

I made a thing! I picked up this lovely herringbone chambray from LA Finch Fabrics last summer, and finally found a perfect use for it. When I first saw the new Itch to Stitch Beausoleil Top & Dress (affiliate link), I knew I needed one, but I needed one in a classic easy-to-pair fabric so that the unique shoulder …

Spring Maxi Dress

Welcome back! Is it spring yet, wherever you are? Green is starting to pop up here, and yet it snowed over this past weekend. As usual, spring is the most confusing season of them all. Nonetheless, I'm still sewing for warmer days. Erm, much warmer days apparently. It's still far too chilly to wear this …

Hey everybody! This month, I'm joing in on Sewing By Ti's blog tour: Sewing Up Spring! Spring has finally sprung! Well... sort of. Spring tends to spring a little later here in Saskatchewan, but we're working on it. Haha. It is starting to warm up and I'm definitely dreaming of tank tops and shorts. Mmm. …
