It’s been a while since I’ve had a long vest in my closet. That changed when Pauline of Covered Perfectly asked me to review something from her new spring line.

My Sew-Sew Life-A New White Shirt
Hello dear friends, I’m back today to chat about white shirts. Yes, white shirts, which at first seem so boring. However, with their wide range of styles, they are anything but and can open up many a new style adventure. A few months ago, I published the Baker’s Dozen of Closet Necessities. First on thatContinue reading “My Sew-Sew Life-A New White Shirt”
My Sew-Sew Life-Linen Chambray Tunic
I just finished a new linen tunic, finally. I’ve only had this Craftsy project kit for 2 & 1/2 years! When daughter Michelle saw me wearing it, she just shook her head and exclaimed, “Mom, I can’t believe you did something so hippy dippy!” Hippy Dippy? Me? (OK, once in a while). I actually don’tContinue reading “My Sew-Sew Life-Linen Chambray Tunic”

Color Blocked Shift by Tom & Linda Platt + Link-Up
I have admired the designs of American designers Tom and Linda Platt. Their garments seem untrendy to me, that is, they are just designed well. Plus playful, inventive, and not afraid of color! Last month, I wrote about a dress I made from a Vogue pattern that The Platts designed (they have designed a fewContinue reading “Color Blocked Shift by Tom & Linda Platt + Link-Up”
Modern Sage Designs: Designer Interview
Semi precious stones have always caught my eye: Jade, Jasper, Agate, Chalcendony–I could go on. However, Bumblebee Jasper completely escaped my radar. That was until Laura of Modern Sage Designs created a pair of earrings from Bumblebee Jasper and Black Tourmaline. I was smitten. The mixture of yellow, grey and black has to be oneContinue reading “Modern Sage Designs: Designer Interview”
