Just because I’m sometimes quiet on the blog doesn’t mean I’ve stopped creating! During all of my holiday sewing this year, I had time to make a new favorite shirt! This is the Love Notions Willow Wrap top. The Willow Wrap top includes a straight and asymmetrical hem options. The top has an optional modesty panel and is very nursing friendly. And, as a bonus, I used one of Art Gallery Fabrics newest lines to create this look for their lookbook! Continue Reading
Love Notions has been hinting about this pattern for a while now, and anticipation has been high.
Let me tell you…it lives up to all the hype. Welcome to the pdf pattern world, Whistler Pullover by Love Notions.
Whistler is a loose pullover meant for layering, available in sizes XS through XXXL.
I’ve chosen the hooded version in a fun Dr. Who print (poly spandex blend from JoAnn Fabrics). I’ve been hoarding this fabric for what seems like a really long time, but this seemed the perfect use for it. The black fabric is a rib knit, also from JoAnn’s. Continue Reading

Hello and thanks for stopping by! It is hard to believe that it is already week 3 of Project Run & Play! This week’s challenge was to create a costume – which is perfect because Halloween is right around the corner. I’m delighted to share these Zorro and Victoria costumes with you. Please make sure you click over to Project Run & Play so you can vote!
Zorro is a favorite around here and we love the TV series – both the Disney one with Guy Williams from the 1950’s and this newer one from the 1990’s with Duncan Regehr. The costume for this lovely little senorita was modeled after the spunky Victoria in the newer series. Continue Reading

I am very happy to share my first pattern test for Love Notions, the new Canyon Cardigan. This was such a fun group to test for, and I truly adore this pattern. I see many more of these in my future. I LIVE in cardigans in cooler weather, and there are so many style options to choose from!
The cardigan is available in sizes xs through xxxl. This awesome layering piece has options for 3/4 and long sleeves, and a sleeveless vest option. The bottom skirt can be an a-line, a fuller gathered version, or a super fun waterfall version. Be sure to check out the pattern listing, because the creative testers used so many types of fabric, and each one makes the cardigan look just a little different. Continue Reading
Hello lovelies!
Fall is in the air where I live. It is still warm during the day but the nights are crisp and the apples are falling off of our tree. I find myself still wanting to dress cool for the day, but then needing layers for temperature changes. Keeping that in mind, I decided to sign up to test the Canyon Cardigan as one of members of Love Notions Promo Team. Testing with the Love Notions crew is always so fun! There is so much style in this friendly group. Continue Reading
Today I’m happy to share with you the newest pattern from Love Notions – the Luna Loungewear set. This pattern for both girls and women is amazingly comfortable and surprisingly quick to sew up with lovely results.
The Luna Loungewear pattern is available in women’s sizes from XS-XXXL and girls sizes from 2t-16 and 8P-16P. There are options for a just-above-the-knee length nighty and a cami that pairs beautifully with the shorts or capri-length bottoms that include optional pockets. Seriously, who doesn’t need pockets in their loungewear? So perfect! The women’s version includes a shelf bra as does the girls version in size 8 and up. Everything can be made out of a cozy knit or the shorts/capris can be made out of a woven fabric. Continue Reading
