Let’s continue our close look at the multi-fabric Spectacle Jacket. Last week we reviewed the design process. This week we will consider a few construction tips that make this Rain or Shine Variation (RSV) of the Tabula Rasa Jacket (TRJ) a winner. The Rain or Shine direction book has plenty…
A few months ago, we published a blog post with step-by-step instructions for inserting a lapped zipper in Eureka! Pants that Fit. Being equal opportunity sewists, this month we are featuring step-by-step instructions for inserting an invisible zipper into your Eureka! Pants.* An invisible zipper is an elegant finish to…
In this season of thanksgiving, Rae and I want to express our thankfulness to you, our community of supporters. We are so grateful for your enthusiasm and sharing of Fit for Art patterns with fellow sewists. You inspire us to continue creating new patterns and variations and to pursue our…
Today we welome Joy, a friend from the Easton MD area who has created a great Tabula Rasa Jacket, her first actually with embellishments using a long are quilting machine. We asked her to write about it so we could share it with our Sew! Lets Get Dressed readers. So…

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…
A few weeks ago we had a brief spurt of warm weather which got me to thinking about my summer tops. I really like to wear a “camp shirt” in warm weather, which I think of as having short sleeves and collar on a relaxed fitting shirt that falls open…
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…
