Happy Wednesday, makers! My sew-jo is going strong these days since my refashioners success. I want to make ALL the things before my trip to New York in October. I’ve also begun work on my next pattern and I am SO excited to share it with you all soon. Making the samples has been really fun, and I scored some awesome fabric at the last Our Social Fabric sale here in Vancouver to use. You all have been busy bees too! Check out all the latest below 🙂

A great week for pattern releases!! Thanks for the shout-out about my Kielo!!
Your Kielo is so cool, Meg! I love how it looks on you, you made me want to give it a try!
Thanks for the shout out for me, my jacket and Cali Fabrics! X
Your welcome, Jenny! I look forward to seeing more makes from you!
Oooo can’t wait to see your next pattern! I have three versions of Winslow so far, such a great pattern. Any clues? Something autumnal I hope 🙂
Thanks, Liz! That is so lovely to hear! The next pattern is very autumnal, a perfect wardrobe staple for the cooler months. I will be dropping more hints when it is closer to being complete!
The new Named collection was a highlight for me, for sure–I bought all but one, haha! Helmi is definitely near the top of my “to-sew” list. Thanks so much for the Kielo shout-out: you made my day! 🙂
Haha, all but one!?! Now I need to know which one you didn’t buy, lol. The Helmi looks so comfortable and very chic, can’t wait to see your version. Thanks!
Hah! Yeah, I went a little wild. 😉 Lempi is the one that I didn’t buy, but all the other ones totally set off “MUST MAKE NOW” alarm bells.
Aww, thanks for including my new favorite dress in your Wednesday Weekly! I’m super proud of how it came out.
I’m looking forward to your next pattern! If I make it to the next round of the competition, you might be seeing a familiar article of clothing show up next week. 😉
OoOooo, yay! I hope you make it through, your deserve it with that amazing dress!
