Last week I released the Rowena pattern and I wanted to pull together some inspiration and fabric resources to get your wheels for this project.

Our latest pattern, the Rowena jumpsuit and pants are here! This versatile style is easy to wear and a pleasure to sew.

We're thrilled to announce that our beloved Lola pattern is now available in our extended size range. Lola was one of the first patterns released in our collection, and to this day, it's still a favorite among our customers. We're thrilled to offer this pattern in more inclusive sizing.

Today, I've got a big announcement to share with you. After eight years of offering our patterns in print, I've decided to scale back our production to releasing patterns in PDF format only; This is a big step and has been one I've contemplated for some time now.

Up until recently, I had never made a pom-pom in my life. I consider myself a super crafty person, and since these little guys are sort of like craft 101, I figured it was high time I get on it. I'm happy to say, they're really easy, fun and quick to make. Now that I feel like I've mastered this little craft, I wanted to share this tutorial with you, which comes just in time for the release of our latest pattern the Atlas Tuque. 

Last year we released the Atlas mitten pattern and have had lots of requests to make a winter hat pattern to go with it, so I'm happy to announce that our latest accessory pattern - The Atlas Tuque - is here. What's a Tuque, you ask? You may call it a beanie, winter hat, block heater, but here in Canada, this is what we call it.

Welcome back to the Sofia sew-along. In this post we'll be sewing the skirt and attaching it to the bodice. This is the final post in the series, marking the end of the project!

The Sofia pattern bell sleeve is a flowy bias-cut style that's paired with a shoulder strap, making it perfect if you're looking for a style that gives coverage for bra-straps. In this sew-along tutorial, I'll walk you through the steps of constructing this sleeve version.

 

Having pockets make any garment SO much more enjoyable to wear. There's really no reason why you should have to go without them because side seam pockets are a really easy addition to a garment, even if the pattern doesn't call for a pocket. While this tutorial is part of the Sofia sew-along series, you can follow these steps if you're looking to add a pocket to just about anything. Let's dive right in.

Welcome back to the Sofia sew-along. This post is for those of you making the bishop, cap or elbow puff sleeve option. We will be attaching the sleeve to the bodice. These three sleeve styles feature an elasticized cap shoulder. A bias facing will be sewn along the sleeve cap, which will act as an elastic channel while finishing the curved sleeve edge.
