Wednesday Weekly #142

Happy Wednesday! I have something exciting to share, and it may seem like not a big deal to many of you, but I have to take a moment to brag. I knit my first cable! I have been dreaming of cabled sweaters and hand warmers since I learned to knit last winter and I finally went for it. Of course, in hindsight, there was nothing to be afraid of! It was so much easier than I thought it was, and I was reminded that we can often build things up in our minds. Things are not as hard as we think they are! Is there something you have been wanting to try that you should just go for? Now is the time! News (Left to right) Seamwork Magazine released the Callahan Pants and the Bo Top. Jennifer Lauren released the Quincy Dress. Makes I love this wrap hack from What Katie Sews. This dress from Tea Okereke is so pretty. I can’t get over the cool embroidery on this blouse from Made by Toya. Norse Otter shares her perfect summer uniform. This Kalle from Sew Filled to the Brim is really nice. Thornberry looks awesome in her Parker Coat. I love both of Jen’s Felix dresses - I may need to make this pattern! Resources Imagine Gnats shares how to install jeans hardware.
