The new Fit for Art pattern for Tabula Rasa Knits, Clever Crossing Variations (CCV), provides two ways to make a knit top with a crossover yoke front in addition to the surplice front. While the surplice front is limited to a tee hem line, you can easily use either crossover…
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…
