Sewing for Spring and Summer - Finding the styles you love

Now that we have entered spring here in the northern hemisphere, it opens the opportunity to begin sewing some fun items for the warm weather.

Sometimes people write me and say that they love some of the classic styles from past decades, ones that are still very much in style today and prefer to sew and wear those styles. Some also ask for a specific pattern, one that they used and loved in the past and want to find again,…See More
