DIY Almada Robe by Seamwork Magazine

Hi guys! I’m back with another Seamwork pattern. I finished this little beauty a few months ago and I’m just now getting around to sharing it. It was love at first site when I saw this robe in the February issue of Seamwork. By the way, how great is it to have a something to look forward to the first of every month? As soon as I start wondering where the year has gone and thinking about all the things I have left to do and the bills I need to pay, I remember that there’s a new issue of Seamwork to read! And then I start thinking about all the things I want to sew. Which is a never ending list. But, I’m so glad to have things that I want to make. I can’t imagine what I’d do with myself if the inspiration well ran dry.

Refashioners 2016 – DIY Zip Front Denim Skirt

Refashioners 2016 – DIY Zip Front Denim Skirt

I was so thrilled and honored when Portia asked me to participate in the Refashioners this year. Then I got really nervous because the challenge was jeans. I was so nervous about creating something reminiscent of my grungy '90s days. I really wanted to make something that didn't obviously look like it was made from old jeans. Which let's face it, is not easy. 

DIY Curved Hem Shorts

DIY Curved Hem Shorts

I live in shorts during the summer. And even though my shorts drawer is overflowing, I’m always on the lookout for a new pattern. After the success of my Alexandria Trousers, I had to try out the shorts version. The shorts have a really unique curved hem (I think it’s called a dolphin hem, or am I crazy?). And just like the pants, a super comfy drawstring waist, front pleats and pockets.
