One Stitch At A Time
Gertie hit 2023 off with a bang with her new Patreon theme and first pattern. In fact, it was the reason I signed back up to her Patreon. Last summer, I paused membership as it was annoying me that my pregnant body was not compatible with the patterns that were being released (although I wasn’t […]
Not quite my first make of 2023 – I made another Sew Over It Jessie Coatigan for which you can check out my review here – but it’s the first garment made with a pattern that is new to me. I cannot remember exactly when the Sew Over It Esma Dress pattern was released but […]
Hello, fellow sewists. I know it is fairly late in the month but I will take the opportunity to wish you a happy new year anyhow – hopefully you’ve all been making it through January and have been enjoying your sewing projects. It has been some time since I gave my blog some real attention […]

I recently pattern tested the Isla Dress Jennifer Lauren Handmade. I very rarely participate in pattern testing because of the time constraints that are usually imposed. With sewing being my hobby, I resist the idea of sewing to a deadline. Pattern testing is usually time consuming, too. There is always at least one toile that […]
