Development for the #ChoicePattern happened very quickly and on a whim. We've finally caught up with our wonderful fit model for some photography of the 1X-5X size range. She is pictured here wearing the original base pattern.

Made a top with the #SiloDress pattern and love it so much I can’t stop wearing it! Turns out lighter weight tweed is an excellent #fabric to use. The #SewingPattern is still $2 off!

Sharing an old #SewingTutorial we made years ago about cutting a lot of bias at once. It’s great for #SewingProjects that require a lot or for just keeping it stocked!

Waiting for some hardware (a nice metal zipper and a triangle ring) to make this #remotetote (by @openstudiopatterns.bsky.social) extra extra.
This will be the greatest summer tote for wild times.
