Especially when it comes to purchasing my sewing patterns. Let me explain what I mean. Continue reading “Indie Patterns – Worth The Price?”
C is for Christine Jonson Patterns
For my third project, the letter C, in my quest to 
I chose a Christine Jonson Pattern. Recently Christine Jonson had a holiday sale and there was a 30% discount on sewing patterns. That was enough of a savings on a single pattern to cover the shipping cost. Since I can never pass up a bargain, the time was right for me to try the Christine Jonson pattern line! I immediately ordered pattern #107, the Tie-back Top. Continue reading “C is for Christine Jonson Patterns”
B is for Burda
For my second Sew All 26 project I chose a Burda pattern for the letter B. Burda 7739 is the first Burda pattern I’ve ever sewn. I made the dress in the center. Continue reading “B is for Burda”
Sew All 26 – A is for Angel
I’ve joined in on an idea from no big dill to . Sew all 26 is a pledge to sew an item for each letter of the alphabet, from A through Z. My A project is this sweet angel. Continue reading “Sew All 26 – A is for Angel”
