Versatile Black & White

Sewing black and white tops is so practical.  They can be paired with either black, white, or bright colored pants moving from season to season in style.   (If you don’t wear black and white, imagine that I am writing about your favorite light and dark neutral colors.) Earlier this summer…

Pants Progress

Sewing pants was the focus of 3 participants at our Sew! Let’s Get Dressed Retreat last week.  Each had a different focus because their pants needs and sewing skills were different, but each left having made great progress on their Eureka! Pants journey. Let’s start with Sarah’s story.  She has…

Snazzy B’more Tunic

Sewing knit tunics with the Tabula Rasa Knit (TRK) pattern has become a bit of a passion for me.  The only thing I like better than designing and sewing tunics is wearing them.  It has become one of my go to looks. I was inspired by Nancy Penzi of Grand…
