Patterns

Etsy has been my BEST friend. Being able to print these at plan size and trace over the difference sizes has been a game changer. Good by flimsy thin paper patterns.

Dear Billy patterns are one of my go to's when wanting something new to make. I find them super beginner friendly!

This little ¼ zip jumper is so perfect for both winter and more traseasonal moths. So may options if you mix and match the piping colour to add some fun pops of colour.

So nice to have the skirt look with the added coverage. These look super different depending the fabric you choose.
