Meadowood Testers

Testers are what keep this business going.  Every time I put out a call for testers I am blown away by the people that want to help me with my patterns.  As I start to see the versions pop up in the testing group I get more and more excited.  I had a friend ask me recently what it was like to see your work on other people, and I am not sure I can put it into words because it really is amazing each and every time.

Wide Leg Pants Love | Review of Kendrick Pants

I have learned over the years that I can’t determine whether I will like a pattern based on my ideas of what will look good on my body.  We are not neutral about our bodies even if we love and accept our bodies for what they are, we will still always see the ‘flaws’ and how a pattern may accentuate those flaws.  High waisted wide leg pants were definitely a pattern I wasn’t convinced I would like on my body.

I like to keep things simple in my wardrobe because honestly I rarely wear things that are  much more than jeans and a tee shirt.  Working at home and living the mom life means I generally grab for comfort but as I have always said you don’t have to sacrifice style when choosing comfort.  A woven tank is my newest obsession, it feels like a dressed up version of just a simple knit tank and is the perfect layering piece as we head into fall.

Eastlake Pattern Release

Creating Eastlake was quite the process, there were multiple iterations of the pattern before I finally decided to just go for it and make a DEEP v-neck top.  I am smitten with how it turned out and with each new version that I sew I get even more excited.  With a closet full of these tops I can definitively say that this style top is going to look amazing on everyone!

The obvious striking detail of this pattern is the v-neck front which is finished with a facing, one of my favourite finishing techniques for knits.  It gives it such a pulled together professional finish without being any more difficult.  To secure the front facing I wanted a wide topstitch which mirrors the bottom hem.  

Magnuson Pattern Release

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.  What started out as a utility/military inspired jacket has turned into a more modern take in vest form.  So many of the original elements are still there with so many new and fun details.

Magnuson has a button placket, stand collar, side slits and oversized pockets, not to mention the gathered waist.  So many utility or military inspired vests have the waistband casing on the outside of the jacket giving it a very casual look.  I wanted the ability to cinch in the waist but not have the ties hanging down, so inside the waistband went.
