When I first starting sewing, I didn’t want to spend a lot of money on patterns that I wasn’t sure I would know how to use, so I wondered: where can I find free (but stylish) women’s sewing patterns that I could print out in the comfort of my own home? The following 11 websites have collections of
Now that it's getting colder, why not go bolder with a Mood Exclusive print and a brand new Mood sewing pattern? The Annie Jacket brings some of those subtle
I love to wear skirts! They are so versatile. You can mix and match them with blouses, sweaters, or pair them with jackets. They can be worn with tights and flats or tights and boots. You can change the look by simply changing your shoes from flats to stilettos. Because I love skirts, I am always on the look out for an interesting design and I've found a few that I thought you might like too! I wish I could see a complete front view of this skirt. But regardless, I really like the asymmetrical hem and the side seam welt pocket. A wrap skirt is always lovely. I love how they played with the pattern on this skirt. I'm sure you've seen this skirt on Pinterest. It's a very popular pin. But it derserves to be looked at again as it is such a lovely and dramatic design. Okay, we need Bunny of La Sewista for this one, especially since she is a smocking guru. I REALLY want to know how to do this!!! I don't care for the little buttons, but I do love the technique. Simple, yet so graceful. Here's another interesting wrap. I think this is so pretty. Look closely and you'll see that inside the center of the drape is a zipper. Sadly the zipper looks a bit off, but it's a great idea nonetheless. Since this skirt is in white, it's a little difficult to see, but if you look closely, you'll see that it has very interesting lines. What a lovely take on a pleated skirt. A cute take on a kilt design. This skirt makes me want to throw my sandals on and head for Bermuda!!! It just screams summer. I love how the scalloped edge was taken around the hem and then up the center back to accent the vent opening. Such a comfortable looking skirt. From Eileen Fisher. I believe that Marcy Tilton has a Vogue pattern that is quite similar. I love everything about this skirt. Take a striped fabric and add godets. Lovely. Now for a little comic relief ;) I'll say this, it's interesting!!! I have some fabulous surprises up my sleeve for you this week, so please be sure to check back. Also, the voting for the Get Your Motors Running Contest ends tonight so be sure to get your vote in if you haven't done so already. Have a wonderful day and a great week!!!! Rhonda

Summer is just about here and yep, I am a slacker! I can't believe it has been 2-1/2 weeks since I have written in my sewing journal! Summer...
So lately I've been obsessing over capelets! I keep drooling over vintage dresses with matching capelets made of velvet or chiffon or wool, attached or separate, in all variations. Partly what I love about them is their versatility and wide use in fashion from Victorian times to the 30s to the 50s and more. I even ended up making one to go with my Christmas dress, which was sort of a disaster but more on that in a future post. :-) Here are some of the lovelies I found on Pinterest! This last one is actually a pattern you can get from Decades of Style, and I have to say I'm extremely tempted. I love the buttons, the fitted bodice in combination with the capelet, the color of the drawing, just everything about it! Looking forward to adding more capelets to my wardrobe eventually, and I'm sure I'll keep pinning inspiration as I find it in the meantime. If you'd like to follow me on Pinterest, I'm here. :-)

The Hana Tank + Dress Pattern features the bias binding method of finishing the neckline and armholes. While this method is a great scrap buster, the first few times you try it might be frustrating. It takes practice and a little patience to make sure all those seams lay flat with no puckering.
