The full preview of the October edition of BurdaStyle Magazine has been posted over on the Russian website. Based on the early previews I had already decided I was pretty excited for this issue, and while I’m still firmly rooted in the excitement camp, there are a few more “BWTF” nominees for this month than … More Newsflash: October Burda Preview Posted
First things first – I sewed! A dress! But it is not for me. It was for my sister, so I didn’t really get paid for it, technically, though she awesomely circled the smallest Whole Foods parking lot in the world so I could run in and get the really good fish sauce. The barter … More Exciting News!

They’ve only just been posted to the Simplicity website, and my local fabric stores don’t have them in yet. They’ve also got the … More Newsflash: Fall Simplicity & New Look Patterns!
It seems like I’ve poked my head back into the sewing blog-o-sphere just before it is ready to explode! Â I know there’s always a sewing blog event going on somewhere, but it feels like there are going to be even more things coming up than normal in the next few weeks. Â Aside from Self Stitched … More Sewing Things About the Internet
Somewhere in the past few weeks Simplicity has posted some new costume patterns based on Disney’s Frozen – one for girls and one for dolls. It is hilarious to me that it has taken Disney this long to release an officially licensed pattern for this product.
