Take 2 19 Aug 2013 | 06:03 am

I hope the title for my last post wasn't too critical.  I really do like the Pavlova top.  Here's the proof.  I made it again.  However, first I fixed the couple of things that bugged me about the pat...

The Sewing Lawyer hasn't purchased many patterns from the new* independent pattern companies that have flourished on the internet in the past few years.  There are several reasons for this.  One is th...

It turns out to be very easy being green 11 Aug 2013 | 01:38 am

The Sewing Lawyer doesn't wear a lot of green.  At least the greens that tend to get worn around here are more at the blue end.  But I'll be wearing it a bit more this summer, recently having created ...

Let us turn, for a moment, to knitting.  A while ago I showed you an incredibly light knitted summer top.  It's made with a single thread of lace-weight slubby cotton from ColourMart.  It's hardly the...
