Greeting Dear Readers! I've learned through the past few months that multitasking is not my forte´. As I so excitedly announced, Julie Starr and I signed a contract for a second book which  required my immediate and devoted attention to receive a 2019 publishing date. We turned in our final package December 5, and then it was Christmas. Hello and Happy New Year! These pics taken on December 4, are from our last photo shoot, and we're on the charming cobblestone street, South Adgers Wharf, in Charleston, SC. The shirt is a favorite pattern, the Sewaholic Granville Shirt, and the self-drafted pencil skirt is...

Many readers suggested the fit was as good as RTW, which is precisely why I have avoided tailored shirts throughout my life. They...

03 Feb A Wearable Muslin – the Granville Shirt

While patience is a virtue, and a quality I attempt to pursue, I would not consider it  to be my best attribute. Many sewists truly enjoy using the PDF patterns. I too love the instant gratification of downloading a pattern, but assembling 30-page patterns is an event in and of itself. I wanted Sewaholic's Granville Shirt  enough to download the pattern late one evening.

It takes patience for sure! After assembling and cutting my pattern, I chose to skip out on the muslin...
