Hello, dear Internet~Land! Tonight we’re going to go through the process of altering an already existing pattern to create a new design. Someone in one of my facebook groups is working on designing an outfit from an anime called Howl’s Moving Castle. It’s a great capelike coat that’s worn over the shoulders and features a very distinct diamond design. The idea was to use the Wrap Coat Pattern as a base. I saw the progress and volunteered some assistance to see if we could come up with a pattern to reflect the vision. Here’s my process to arrive at the desired destination. The resulting pattern is posted below the video link!

Hello, dear Internet~Land. Today I have a simple “hanging out with friends” type of video. We’ve been stuck in the house for several days due to the icy weather. Too dangerous to drive (or walk for that matter), so we’ve been playing it safe and staying off the roads. I thought I’d take a while and sort through some of my unfinished projects. If that sounds of interest to you, come along and take a look. Enjoy and stay safe!

Greetings, Dear Internet~Land! Well, the cold weather has finally made its arrival here. Thankfully, it is on our days off, so for now we’re all settled in with blankets, the fireplace, hot cocoa, warm baked treats, movies, and a sewing machine! We have so many patterns here on the website not yet “sewn on YouTube,” so I thought I’d start going through the list and put some together. Today’s project is the Zig-Zag Jacket from the recently posted 2023 Twelve Gifts of Christmas. It was numbered 9 & 10 for both the SD and MSD sizes. Depending on the date of reading, you can scroll down, look through the dated archives, or use the Menu at the top to access the size of choice. Wishing you all a warm and wonderful weekend!

I hope you’ve had a great New Year’s Day and are ready to move forward with excitement and inspiration! To begin our journey into the new year, we have a video sewing tutorial for the Waterfall Gown and Capelet Pattern Set. I was thinking that many of my patterns haven’t been sewn yet, so this is the start of my plans to film more videos for the patterns that are available here on the website. Enjoy and happy sewing!
