Writing reviews for new pattern releases used to be one of my favorite parts of posting to this blog. I know a lot of people would read specifically because of those reviews, but at a certain point it got to be too much for me. It was a combination of several things; burnout, for sure, … More Blink Twice for No
I’ve been really busy the past few weeks, but when I realized I had a 3 day weekend and enough time to enter the Pattern Review Zoom contest just before the closing date, I found the energy to zip through the next project of my mini wardrobe plans! For this top, I’ve made the M1464 … More Mini Wardrobe Sewing: Top 2 Review
New year new patterns! There is always a bit of a lull around the holiday times, but I expect we shall start to see the rolling out of new pattern releases in the next few weeks to prepare for the upcoming spring sewing seasons. My Image Magazine has released their 20th(!) issue, which, for those … More My Image Magazine #20 – Spring/Summer 2020
In addition to the traditional Spring/Summer and Fall/Winter issues, this year My Image Magazine has also been doing special 10-piece editions each season. Here’s what we get in the Fall 2019 Special issue: There aren’t a ton of images on the My Image website for this issue, but I think we can see enough from … More My Image Magazine Special 4 – Fall 2019
My Image is one of those sewing magazines that offers some nice basics. I really like a lot of the styles they have this year’s fall/winter selection. It was released a while ago (I think just before I left?), but you can still order it here. I usually don’t have any trouble with shipping to … More My Image Magazine Fall/Winter 2019
To continue our tour of new pattern releases, here is the announcement of the Summer Special edition of My Image Magazine. You can flip through the whole issue here. I find that the styles in the Special editions are not as detailed as the styles in the regular issues (though it seems as though My … More Summer Special 2019 My Image Magazine
My Image isn’t one of the more prevalent sewing magazines, but I generally like their simple clean designs and use of bold prints. The latest issue (#18!) is released full of new spring/summer looks. You can flip through the whole magazine here. The silhouettes in this issue are pretty simple, but there are some cute … More My Image Magazine Spring/Summer 2019
This was something of an unexpected sew – I was thinking I *might* still be able to pull off a September mini-wardrobe, but realized there was no way I was going to finish if I included my blazer jacket. So I thought I might speed up the process by reusing an older pattern and making … More Pattern Review: My Image M1003 (Again)
My Image Magazine traditionally only releases two issues per year, but they’ve recently expanded to include a special summer and special autumn issue (which you can purchase here) that aren’t included as part of the regular subscription. Here is a look at what’s included in this special edition – we get 3 tops, 4 dresses, … More My Image Magazine: Autumn Special 2018
Summer has barely arrived, but My Image Magazine is already presenting us with their Fall/Winter issue for 2018/2019! Oddly my issue arrived even before the magazine was posted to the website – which means I’ve had to redo the images for this post twice. For clarity sake I think it was worth it, but, eeesh it … More My Image Magazine Fall/Winter 2018/2019
