Wednesday Weekly #36

Happy Wednesday, makers! I am still recovering from the amazing Our Social Fabric sale last weekend here in Vancouver. It was so crazy! I got a bunch of new fabrics, mostly knits because I am trying to sew more casual wear. I’ve been organizing and rearranging fabrics (I am running out of room), and finding all sorts of things I had forgotten about. It is exciting and also daunting to look through one's stash….better get sewing and make some space! ww_36 News Indie Sew now has the Glea dress by Whitney Deal available on their site. Christine Haynes released a new pattern, the Lottie dress. This looks like an incredibly versatile pattern with a shirt and dress variation and several sleeve options.
