Time again to review some of my sewing projects recently. Apparently it’s been quite a few months since I checked in! Here are some kid clothes I made last year, most for my 5yo, but also some for my daughters.

I can’t believe that we are just two weeks away from school. I was not really looking forward to this summer because I’m tired of people being around all the time, but it’s been pretty enjoyable. Unfortunately I have spent much of the summer suffering from back issues that make it painful to sit, so it feels like I have laid around half the summer! I did get a fair amount of sewing done at the beginning, and now that I’m finally on the mend, I can sit and sew for short periods, so I’m once again resuming normal activities, just modified.

I’m happy to release my newest pattern, the Lyla May Handbag! This pattern was first inspired by a design that a customer asked for earlier this year. I loved the final result but wasn’t planning on making a pattern. However, positive responses on Facebook changed my mind. You know how I am with sizes—virtually all of my patterns have multiple sizes. The original size I made was for a 10” frame and the final result was 14” wide and tall. That’s so large! I ended up drafting this pattern in three smaller sizes as well.

I’ve got a new pattern coming out later in June and it uses a purse frame. One of the common questions I always get is, “where do I buy a purse frame?” I have a similar post for my Flourish and Curvaceous patterns. However that post is five years old now, and while I do try to glance at the links periodically to see if they still work, it may not be completely up to date. I wanted to make a new post for this pattern.

2021 is here and I am excited for new projects! My kids are still home more often than they are in school, and I don’t thrive with everyone at home all the time, but we have all had to figure out ways to work with all this enforced togetherness. I’m hard at work at my next two patterns, and I’ve also been taking a much needed break from the stress of stocking season.
My first project of the year was to make some reusable shopping bags.
