Sew! Let’s Get Dressed is celebrating its 1st birthday this week. Carrie and I are delighted to have those first 52 posts behind us and are looking forward to many more weeks of sharing our sewing adventures with you. To be honest, we were not sure what we were doing…
Sewing shirts has become one of my favorite things. I got addicted last spring using my Tabula Rasa Jacket pattern modified with the Shirt Variations. The shirts are pretty easy to sew and very easy to wear. As the weather in Baltimore gets warmer, I just throw one on with…

In the Fun in New York City post and on the Original Sewing & Quilt Expo blog “The Makers Experience” posted on February 6, we talked about the fabulous sheer bundles we have available in our Expo booth. They are perfect for stitching up a Tabula Rasa Jacket with Swing Variations. The new…
