A mother and daughter vest combo in soft corduroy.

The Tabby Jacket pattern in kid sizes 2 – 12, with directions for both kids and adults, was supposed to be a smaller version of the Tabula Rasa Jacket.  We envision moms, grandmas and friends sewing jackets with their youngsters using coordinated fabric, loving the process and the results.  We…

Seawool Jean Jacket

Before winter gets away from us entirely, I want to share the Seawool Jean Jacket I am enjoying for our transitional weather. The fabric has been languishing in my to-do pile for at least a year, originally conceived as a “shacket” or hybrid shirt-jacket.  As we’ve been focusing on sustainable…
