About three and a half years ago I bought this cashmere (from The Wool House in Toronto) at an American Sewing Guild conference in Chicago. I was with my friend Sue at the time, and at $140 for the 2…
We are headed to a mountain bike race for my husband and 4 1/2 year old daughter this upcoming weekend. The venue is deep in the woods, so our 16-month old son will be carried in the Ergo the entire…

So I decided to just sew. I had to clean off my sewing cabinet anyway – we made a heroic cleanup of the playroom this weekend – and since it was clear, I said “just fifteen minutes” which, you know,…
I traced two from the july 2011 burdastyle mag. A wrap top and asymmetrical skirt, I plan to trace a drape jacket and dress that has a jersey top and woven skirt. Sewing will happen this week for sure.
