Silk Sari for the Holidays

Carrie and Meg at the Gala

A few years ago, after traveling in India, my daughter Meg gifted me with a beautiful red and gold silk sari.  It has been waiting for the right occasion to come along so I could stitch it into something special, and this Fall it did.  My husband and I would…

Cozy Cowl Collar

Carrie wearing Mohair with Cowl Collar

This is the perfect time of year to make yourself a Cowl Collar Surplice Front Tee!  In cold weather I like to have my neck covered.  The cowl collar surrounds my neck in cozy warmth without feeling constricted, as it does when wearing a turtleneck.  I have recently made two…

Mix and Match TRJ Variations

Indigo Mash-up, front

I was surprised by how much attention this new Tabula Rasa Jacket received at the Fredericksburg and Schaumburg Expos.  Many times I found myself explaining which pattern variations were used to create the rayon batik top, and then sending the asker to the Sew Batik booth to get their own…

Swing Tops: Similar yet Different

It is a fun exercise to examine two garments made from the same fabric.  In this case the tops are similar Tabula Rasa Jackets (TRJ).  I made one for Laura Murray, wearable artist extraordinaire, and one for myself.   Look closely at the next two photos and see if you can…

Redesigning for a Special Occasion

It is great fun to find new fabrics and shapes to update a dated garment.  So, when Katy, who I regularly design and sew for, brought me the dress she wore to her daughter’s wedding and asked for a redesign, I was all in.  She had a wedding to attend…

Fall Tabula Rasa Design

As I return to the studio after almost 6 weeks away, I am itching to sew for fall.  It is such a refreshing time to be planning and sewing with the cool nip in the air each morning. A lovely floral linen, purchased at the ASG Conference, was really calling…

Fabulous Sateen Pants

Cotton sateen, with or without spandex, is an excellent fabric for stitching up Eureka! Pants that Fit.  The fabric is almost always washable with enough drape and opacity to yield successful pants. I kicked off the early summer season by making some much-needed navy sateen pants.  My favorite navy pants,…

Indonesian Sarong to Tabula Rasa Jacket

Tropical Birds & Flowers Batik jacket, side view

One of my new favorite samples to wear is this Tabula Rasa Jacket based on the Rain or Shine Variations.  I made it from an Indonesian cotton batik sarong that I had had in my stash for a few years.  (No personal history; just found it in a box of…
