    @drkknits Ha, go for it. 🙂


    I sewed myself a new shirt today! #crafty http://t.co/2i9QNORp


    @rachievaichie It’s the Colette Sorbetto. Free PDF online! Just google it. I added sleeves and left out pleat.


    @rachievaichie Eh, it’s a bit smock-y. I have broad shoulders. But I’ve never made tops, so it was good practice!


    @codepo8 You mock, but sadly even I would’ve hyperventilated over that as a kid.

    Edited to add: This is the Colette Sorbetto, a free PDF pattern. I modified it by leaving off the front pleat and adding some sleeves. The fabric is a Liberty Tana Lawn I bought last year. I’m still learning, so simple tops like this give me plenty of practice. I think this one will get some wear!

  • Earn Your Stripes Quilt Blocks

    Quilting took a back seat for a few weeks as I frantically finished all my Easter Show projects. Finally today I got a chance to put together the March MetaQuilter blocks. Amelia was the designer this month, and her quilt is the Earn Your Stripes quilt from Block Party: The Modern Quilting Bee. These were fairly free form, and I had fun playing with the beautiful fabrics she sent. I’ll be posting these off tomorrow…
