You definitely need to sew a trench coat for spring, because they are the perfect transition item for the warmer weather. Spring is definitely my favourite season.  I love the transition from cold, dull, end-of-winter weather to the warmth, weather and colours in the spring season.  I also adore changing my wardrobe over and shedding my winter layers.

Sewing a jacket from trending suiting and faux leather fabrics gave me a fantastic feeling of accomplishment. For me, autumn is about back to school and back to work. A business casual jacket that coordinates with many of the items already in my wardrobe is such a win!

I came across this Pinterest inspiration blazer in a style that I thought would look great for business casual wear (though I haven’t found the original source – please let me know if you do!) and I loved the two-toned vibe.  Since leather and suiting are trending this fall, I found some amazing fabric options on the Fabricville online shop and a pattern requiring very little “hacking” to make my version.

Hello fellow sewists,

The sunny days of spring have me wanting to spend more time outdoors, and sewing up activewear is the perfect motivation to get some exercise while enjoying the warmer weather.

I was elated to discover that Fabricville is now carrying PURELUX and DRYFLEX, which are Bluesign® approved fabrics. I did some research and the Bluesign® approval is the gold standard for sustainable textiles.

Hello, fellow sewing enthusiasts!  

I can’t help but share my latest sewing adventure with you all, especially since it involves some delightful fabrics from Fabricville. There’s something truly magical about finding the perfect fabric for your project, and let me tell you, Fabricville never disappoints. This time of year just begs for comfortable loungewear that you can spend weekends in, cozy on the couch.

As the leaves begin to change and the temperatures start to drop, it’s time for me to update my wardrobe with cozy and comfortable pieces for the fall season. Whether I’m rushing through workdays or planning a weekend away by the campfire, comfort is key for me.  I’ll walk you through creating two versatile pieces that can be mixed and matched with your existing wardrobe items. Plus, I’ll explore the use of two-sided fabric to give options when creating the top.

There is something special about Canada in the month of March. Ok, sure, there is ice, mud and slush, and I don’t love that.  But it also brings about the first signs of spring, and with it, my dream of a freshly sewn wardrobe with bright colors and florals. March recharges my sewing brain for the new season ahead.
