Username or email* Password* It was my niece s birthday last week, so I had fun picking out a fun and cute fabric combo for a Buckthorn Tote for her. She loves bags and zippered pouches so I had fun making this tote knowing that she d be able to use it.Fabric Funhouse had sent me a remnant of the beautiful Apricot Brandy color of their waxed canvas (it s a beautiful peachy coral color) and I knew it would be so cute for making my niece s gift. I found the cutest little happy suns print in my stash, it s the Sunshine print by Alexia Marcelle Abegg. I couldn t resist those cute faces!I do love working with the waxed canvas for bags, it does, admittedly, take a little more patience than other materials. I find that it s worth a bit of experimentation to see if you like it, too.  I m really pleased with how this particular waxed canvas works with the Buckthorn Tote (and backpack read that post here). It was a nice break from work sewing. I ll be able to share more about at the end of July.Also, I have a video that I recorded a few weeks back that goes over setting the oval base (applies to the Buckthorn as well as a few of my other patterns). I ll be sharing that in the next week or two. Do you like watching videos of sewing techniques? I m still pretty new to knitting, so I use videos a lot, but sometimes just a quick one is all I need instead of a longer format. Do you prefer a quick (less than 4 minute) video or a longer format (10 minutes plus) that goes over in something in great detail?I hope you all have been safe and staying healthy!Pattern: Buckthorn ToteFabric: Apricot Brandy Waxed Canvas from Fabric Funhouse, lining is Sunshine from Alexia Marcelle Abegg (from her Sunshine collection with Cotton + Steel fabrics) here s a google search, it s an older collection so it might be harder to come byWebbing and zipper available in my shop (you ll need 2 yards of 1 -wide webbing and one 14 handbag zipper). Taking action is important to me. Black lives matter. I stand for justice for George Floyd, Breonna Taylor, Ahmaud Arbery, and the countless other Black lives that have been lost. I want to consciously take time to learn of my own biases and evaluate how I can help moving forward. I want to support Black makers and creatives. I am making a choice to stand up for what is right and I am working on acting on that. Please take time to learn from Black leaders and support Black owned businesses.

I wanted to share this here to let you know where I stand. I believe in human rights, I believe that Black lives matter. This is not a checklist to move through and then forget about, but a reminder for myself of what promises I want to keep. I am still learning (and unlearning) and want to continue to learn. I do apologize for not speaking out about this sooner. I want to continue to seek out ways I can improve. I am one person, but I don t want to sit idly by and watch without taking action.Also, please take time to read this message explaining why it s harmful to say All Lives Matter . When I saw Rifle Paper Co. post their image of a dress shirt in their new Strawberry Fields print from their new Primavera collection on their Instagram I knew I had to make one. I quickly ordered some from my one of my local quilt shops (Stitch Supply Co.) and threw it in the wash as soon as I got it in the mail.I ve had the Archer shirt pattern from Grainline Studio for quite a few years and hadn t yet made it. I ve made the Alder Shirtdress which is sort of similar, but the Archer patiently waited for me. I typically don t wear a lot of prints, but the strawberries were calling and it was Spring! Time to celebrate all the new growth that it brings. Also, I haven t sewn a garment using quilting cotton for years, but this is a very soft quilting cotton and it s perfect for this type of shirt.I thoroughly enjoying making this shirt. I don t think I worked on it for more than 45 minutes at a time, it was nice to space things out and really enjoy the process. So over the course of about a week and a half I finished my shirt! I asked a friend for some buttons and that was that! I did manage to sew the cuffs on the wrong way at first with the overlap/cuff buttons on the wrong way. Lucky for me that was super easy to take off the cuff and put on a new one. I m so glad I did because even though it was a fairly insignificant mistake on my part, I knew I d always be a little bit mad at myself if I didn t fix it. So there you go, lesson learned! It s great to know when to stop and fix something and when it s okay to let it go. Of course that threshold is different for everyone. But when you know, you know!I m hoping to get a few wears in before it gets to hot and humid here. I ll wear it in the fall and winter, too I hope! I think I ll throw it in the wash, too before I first wear it. I can t remember where I read that tip (or maybe I heard it on a Love to Sew podcast episode), but I think it makes a big difference for me. Washing a garment after its sewn, and it ll have that more lived in feel. It makes total sense in my crazy world!Pattern: Archer Button Up Shirt from Grainline Studio (I made a size 8, graded to 6 at the hips)Fabric: Strawberry Fields in Blush (Primavera collection by Rifle Paper Co.) purchased from Stitch Supply Co.
