Meet my half-scale dress form! She gets a long-needed makeover in this week's video. She needs a name to go with her new look. Please leave a comment with a name suggestion.  You can look forward to some patternmaking videos in the future. I am planning a series of tutorials on flat pattern design and draping.  Get ready to level up your sewing game!   

Don't laugh, I love playing Ring Fit Adventure. I struggle with the leg strap staying in place though. Even if you aren't working out with a video game this pattern is a keeper. It has a cute style, quick to sew and I show you how to add pockets. Before you cut it out watch my review. I found an error in mine that was easy to fix (if you haven't cut it out yet).

  A simple camisole is a staple foundation garment. It can be worn under other tops, sweaters, with a jacket, or as part of a pajama set. This pattern includes a slip, cami, and shorts and comes with all sizes in the envelope. This is a great beginner project that doesn't require much fabric and no fasteners!

  Last week I made the pants in this pattern. This week we make the top! This is a good beginner pattern with a mod style. It gives me Star Trek vibes. I give a full review at the end of the video. There are timestamps in the video if you click through to watch on YouTube.

Simple and fashionable is just my style! This Simplicity pattern is a great beginner pattern but looks interesting and current.  This week I make the pants, next week the top. I added a little pocket for my phone too, because pants without pockets... Nope.  

I have been looking for a current pattern that is close to the vintage one I love. This is it! The View  A is almost exactly like my pattern from the 1950s. If you are wanting to make some vintage styles this pattern will get you there!  It comes with 4 styles in one envelope: brief, bikini, hipster, and thong all available in all sizes.  This year I am planning to do a lingerie/sleepwear type project as the first project of each month! I have added a lingerie/sleepwear playlis t on my youtube channel. . Timestamps available if you click through to YouTube If you are enjoying my videos please consider subscribing on Youtube!
