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…
Getting away from the usual daily grind with passionate sewing friends old and new is such a great way to move your sewing to a new level. It can seem overwhelming to get all that equipment packed up and into the car, but the dedicated attention to your sewing goals…

Every time I approach a group of fabrics destined to be a Tabula Rasa Jacket (TRJ), I consider both the design and the engineering. It is easy to dream up a pieced front and back for a jacket, but it is quite another thing to stitch it together into a…
