Many years ago, before Colette Patterns became Seamwork, I downloaded their Sorbetto pattern to make for myself. It is a cute, basic tank top that works up easily. My one problem with it was, I needed to do a Full Bust Adjustment to make it fit. I was intimidated. I shouldn't have been. The first … Continue reading The Sorbetto Spree
I have a ton of swatches for the designs in my shop on Spoonflower. They've been sitting around looking sad in a pile and I finally got some inspiration! SCRUNCHIES!! They are, sadly, back in style for more than getting your hair out of the way to workout. They are simple to make and you … Continue reading Spoonflower swatches: make scrunchies

I had a meter in my stash I bought at Yuzawaya Hobby many, many moons ago and never used. The fabric is … Continue reading More shorts! I dub these the “Liberty shorts!”

On all my previous trips, I either had no cash (and Nippori is almost entirely cash only) or most of the stores were closed. You have no idea how frustrating it … Continue reading I Made a Skirt! Nippori Fabrics
Many ages ago, I designed some fabric and had it printed by Spoonflower on their eco-canvas fabric. I'm pleased with how the print came out but I never did anything with it. I busted out my sewing machine and finally made something with the fat quarters! Pillows! I know, not groundbreaking crafts by any means but … Continue reading Pillows For the Couch
