Between lockdowns, teaching classes, managing teenage boys during home schooling and just life in general, I’ve managed to release another pattern, the “Twiggy Tank Top”.
Since lockdown measures in March I’ve had to close down my studio for sewing lessons but I have managed to release two new patterns which are now available in my pattern shop. The Soho Sweater and the Sangria Sundress.

It’s that time of the year again!, The annual Tessuti competition, and this year the competition theme is Colour in Thirds. The fabric is a Japanese polyester crepe de chine and comes in three colours.
