My business has always taken more of a DIY or non-traditional approach to things. Not only do I think that is my personality but it also comes from a place of making business decisions based on me and not what others are doing. That’s not to say what others are doing is wrong, it’s just …
Seeing a new pattern on all different shapes and sizes is the most important part of a pattern release, and something I really look forward to sharing every time. I have had a great time showing you all my three versions of Magnuson, but today I get to share the amazing versions my testers sewed …
If you haven’t noticed by now, I love to sew my patterns in as many different fabrics as possible. No one wants to buy a pattern that is limited to one fabric, or at least I definitely do not. But what I also want to show is that you will get a different look depending …
I couldn’t be more excited to share with you my newest pattern, Magnuson. The evolution of this pattern over the last two years has been fun as the designer to watch happen.

I am officially the worst ever! This post was started right before I left for Tanzania and then never actually posted, which is bad on two accounts. Not only did I not share the amazingness of my Fauntleroy tester roundup but I also didn’t get the chance to make my testers feel loved and appreciated like they …
