Mint and grey-another color grey goes well with! (it's a great neutral wouldn't you say?) I just had to make another Bimaa sweater after my first one. Sadie doesn't wear it, sadly. She doesn't like the cowl very much. boo! But Charlotte has worn it, I'm just waiting til it fits a bit better before I let her wear it out of the house. I must admit I … [Read more...]

So the girls have been a bit chilly lately at ballet class. They have class in a large, slightly drafty room, and were in need of either some long sleeved leotards or sweaters.

My good friend Kate just came out with her first womens pattern, the Penelope Peplum. (aside: best pattern name EVER) and it is awesome!

Is it weird to say that I am in love with my own pattern? If it's wrong, I don't wanna be right, I guess. But I love how quick it is to sew up and how comfy and easy to wear it is.
