Earlier this summer, I came across a post (I think on Pattern Review) by a happy Eureka! wearer who had made shorts with her pattern. What a great idea! I don’t know why I hadn’t thought of it sooner. Like all testing projects, I began with a look through my…
While we were at the Original Sewing and Quilt Expo in Cleveland, I picked up a combo of rayon batiks from one of our favorite vendors, Sew Batik, to create a summer top. Of course I had to use our new Rain or Shine Variations for the Tabula Rasa Jacket!…
Summer seems the perfect time to wear a pair of cool wide legged pants, so I decided to try my hand at creating some. Step one, as always, search the stash for an appropriate fabric to test this idea. Lucky for me, my darling daughter has brought me several lengths…
A few weeks ago we had a brief spurt of warm weather which got me to thinking about my summer tops. I really like to wear a “camp shirt” in warm weather, which I think of as having short sleeves and collar on a relaxed fitting shirt that falls open…

While in Minneapolis last fall for the ASDP conference, I purchased a lovely piece of peacock blue boiled wool from a local fabric store, Treadle Yard Goods. I’m guessing it is a boiled wool jersey because it is softer and drapier than the boiled wool that I associate with…
We send our best wishes for a productive and fulfilling year in 2016! With the new year just around the corner, we’ve been looking back at Fit for Art in 2015 and making plans for 2016. It is rewarding to realize that we really did accomplish much, although it did…
I love the clean lines of the back zipper Eureka! Pants with a faced waist, but I have struggled to get them to stay put on me, especially since I like to wear them a little below my waist. Finally I’ve settled on a waistband that satisfies my style and fitting…
