Today we are going to draft our pencil skirt sloper. If this is your first time drafting a flat pattern to your measurements....you are going to love the fit. Because it will be drafted to your specific measurements, it will fit like a glove, no matter what size you are. You may need to adjust the side seams or the darts (we are using standard measurements for darts) but we will show you how to do that at the end. For our pattern we are basically taking our own measurements and putting ... View the Post

Vintage Pattern + Organic Cotton Sateen = A Winning Combo
I have had this vintage 1976 McCall's pattern for years now. It keeps floating around between my to be cut pile and my stash but earlier this week the pattern met the fabric and it was true love! The fabric I used was organic navy cotton sateen from Organic Cotton Plus. I've used their fabrics before and I love them...they are always so soft and wonderful to work with and this cotton sateen was no exception...it is like butter! Seriously, butter. Which is why I ended up making the long ... View the Post
How to Draft a Pencil Skirt
One thing I think is a staple in any wardrobe is a straight skirt or a pencil skirt. I think they look fantastic on all body shapes and I just love them. I have been dreaming about them in about 100 colors for Spring lately and I keep seeing bright colored ones all over fashion magazines.

When we draft we will show you how to make a straight skirt ... View the Post
Vintage Ruth
A few months ago my mom found this sweet dress in an antique shop and it was just Ruth's size. The dress was 100% handmade and the craftsmanship is phenomenal! Look at all of those pin tucks. I know that in today's world cutting corners, just getting it out there, speed, and disposable everything is the norm...but when I see work like this I think we are missing out...missing out on something important. The time, the love, the skill that was used to create this dress is phenomenal and ... View the Post
