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…

Eureka! Shorts that Fit

Linen shorts finished!

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…

Wide Leg Pants for Summer

Wide leg pants in mulberry cotton batik

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…

Hems for Unlined Tabula Rasa Jackets

The seasons are changing, so all of a sudden my unlined summer Tabula Rasa Jackets (TRJ) are coming out of the closet. Just like summer pants fabrics, the fabrics I choose to sew for summer tops are light weight and washable. So, their engineering needs to be washing machine safe too. Today…
