I finished the pants above for Frida yesterday – apparently they work well for climbing trees! I have had the star fabric for a while – I think I got it at Stof & Stil. The pattern is from Ottobre... Continue reading →

Just before the weekend I received the latest Ottobre, and some of the designs in there show a simplicity almost like the one that you usually see in Japanese patterns – I love it. Sunday I went ahead and traced... Continue reading →
My Schoolhouse Tunic
