Choose between a smooth or notched lapel, inseam or welt pockets, and an open front or belt closure. A button or hook and eye style closure can also be included if you choose! The Narva Coat wasn't quite ready in time for our semi-annual sale, so it is being offered for the same 20% discount now through Sunday, MT, no coupon necessary. See more information about fabric, sizing, alterations, and sources in the blog post and pattern listing on the website (link in profile). Happy sewing! #NarvaCoat

Introducing the long-awaited Union St. Tank! I've been playing around with this pattern since the Union St. tee was released in 2014 (!) and now it's finally here! Just like the tee, it features a fitted shoulder and bust with a relaxed waist and hip, making it comfy and easy to wear all summer long. Featuring a gently curved hem and banded finishes, it's also super easy to sew. Choose between a scoop neck or modified V (sewn with a dart for extra simplicity!). The Union St. Tank comes in sizes 0-30 with an optional FBA front in both views. Read all about it and see source info on the blog today. Look out for testers' versions tomorrow! #UnionStTank

Before I had even completed testing on the new Marseille Dress, I had to hack it into a two piece set! It's just such a versatile pattern! I love wearing this as a set, but it would be great as separates as well. A full tutorial for this set is on the blog today, and don't forget to use code "HJSpring22" to save 20% on all patterns - ends tonight mst! #MarseilleDress

Introducing the Rosslyn Trousers. The Rosslyns are a ponte knit pant with three leg silhouettes, a zip fly, shaped waistband, darts, belt loops, and 4 no-bulk, no-gape pockets! In a stories poll, you overwhelmingly said you'd love a straight fit trouser and that's my favorite view too! But the bootcut is coming in a hot second for me. The fun patterned ponte from @stylemakerfabrics definitely isn't hurting either. They have a ton of great ponte for the Rosslyns! Read all about the pattern, see more pics, and get fabric, styling, sizing, and alterations information on the blog today. I'd love to hear which leg silhouette is your fave and how you'd style it! I'm pretty partial to Converse and a Dolly tee, myself 😁 #RosslynTrousers #HeyJunePatterns

Introducing the new Marjorie Sling Bag and our semiannual sitewide sale! Marjorie is a bucket-style crossbody bag that can be closed two ways. Clip the zipper up the bucket look or down for a rucksack look. Marjorie features a fully lined interior, zip top, interior zipper pocket, a crossbody strap, and a hanging loop. The D-rings, swivel clasp, and slide adjuster are fun places to feature the metal finish of your choice. Marjorie is the perfect grab-and-go bag for errands, running kids to practice, or exploring a new city. Head to the website to see more pictures, read all about it, and learn the story of how Marjorie got her name 👻🧡 Our Semiannual sitewide sale is also happening now through Monday, November 29.

Just spent the loveliest weekend at the 2021 Makers Retreat where we behaved appropriately for our ages and there were no shenanigans to speak of. Skills learned: - Macrame - Questionable uses for macrame - 90s pop dancing - How to take a picture with a phone - Polymer clay - Female anatomy polymer clay - Eating food you didn't make - How to cut a circle - Being in a room with other humans - Carrying on a conversation post C*vid with other humans - How to consume 3 desserts per meal - Laughing without food coming out of your nose (still working on this one) All of these skills and more could be yours! I hope if you ever get the chance you'll join us at a future Maker's Retreat! @straightstitchdesigns is such a wonderful host and plans the best getaways where you can learn a new skill and just spend a few days amongst your people. We'd love to see you there 🧡 #MakersRetreat2021 #WeLoveMarjorie

The Fairmount Shacket is available for a few more hours at its lower introductory price - don't miss it! I'm modeling the size 10 I made for my daughter. I measure into a size 6, so you can see that it still looks great sized up once or twice! I'm actually really digging this oversized look. In this video, I'm demonstrating really quickly how to do that fun sleeve roll you see in stores that still allows the cuff to pop at the top. This is my favorite way to wear a button down 🧡 Hope you've had a wonderful weekend!

The Fairmount Shacket tester post is live! Be sure to stop by to see our newest pattern on several different bodies and made with different substrates. These testers never fail to impress me with their talent and creativity! Some even modified the pattern already - be sure to scroll to the bottom for those! If you make this new pattern, we'd all love to see it! Be sure to tag #FairmountShacket (and don't forget the "u" 😁) Featured: @thestitchywife @seamslikemiles @snowyowldesigns @leighleighsews
