So last week I mentioned a green Christmas tree dress I was making. Why would I be making a Christmas tree dress? Because it’s hilarious, that’s why. Sorry, I had to take this at night! This weekend I went to a Santa-themed bar hop in Ohio City, so I went as everyone’s favorite singing tree, [...]

Happy holidays! I hope everybody’s having fun getting ready! We decorated the store last week, and it looks so good! I think there’s a picture in here somewhere of the decorations. We have some really beautiful black polyester floral lace, and it stands out perfectly over this off-white cotton poplin. And the Liberty scarf looks [...]
Looking Good! Velvet Renfrew Top

The other day I finished a new project, the Sewaholic Renfrew top! And I really mean a day, because this only took about 3 hours! What I really love about this pattern is that you can just make a really nicely fitted t-shirt with it, or a classy and elegant top like this one I [...]

Stumbled across this…how cute would this be made out of our beautiful Japanese linen with a little embroidery at the bottom corner and a pretty little ribbon for the zipper pull? How easy to whip up a bunch of these for Christmas gifts? I’ll draw out a pattern to share and post in a day [...]
