Scared of Using a .PDF Pattern? Don't be.
Scared of Using a .PDF Pattern? Don’t be.
Are you letting the task of printing and taping together dozens of pages keep you from using PDF patterns? There are so many fun patterns floating around today and many of them are only available in PDF format. The process of “putting your pattern together” is crazy easy.
To use a .pdf pattern, you’ll need:
your pattern printed out
glue sticks (I like these.)
paper scissors
maybe a ruleror

Welcome to 2017
Happy New Year! Do you make resolutions? I have in years past. Unsuccessful. I’ve tried a Word of the Year. Not so much. Goals? Just a list of words on paper for all the good they’ve done me. Let’s face it, a planner I’m not. I think I’ll skip the resolutions this year. Why?

I have a handful of sewing patterns from my Grandma’s stash. I pulled them out the other day for inspiration and noticed that the sizing on some of them looked as though it might fit me. Jackpot! I decided it was time for me to begin sewing vintage patterns.
I love seersucker. I’ve sewn up seersucker for many, many babies, but I’ve never sewn up seersucker for myself. It was about time. I…
