Around the Corner Quilt Pattern.

The Around the Corner Quilt has all my favourite things - some foundation paper piecing, curved piecing and it's made using a jelly roll!

The finished size is 48 1/2" x 56 1/2" (123cm x 144cm) which is perfect for baby quilt or lap quilt.

You can find the pattern in my shop!

 

Which Direction Quilt

You can now purchase the Which Direction quilt in my shop!

This is the perfect weekend project. You can make the small size with a layer cake and background fabric and the larger size requires two layer cakes and some background fabric.

I finally made a Roscoe Blouse! I think I might be the last sewer to do so and of course I'm wondering why I waited so long.

There's not much to say about this pattern that hasn't already been said. I made a size smaller than I measured because, I'd read there was a lot of room in it (and I'm glad I did), and followed the pattern exactly as written. 

I used fabric from The Block Prints on Etsy which I bought a couple of years ago. It has the perfect drape for this pattern. 

I'm really happy with it and need to search the stash for some voile to make another one!

 

Style Arc Joan Top

The start of the sewing summer - a Style Arc Joan Top. I used a voile from the stash which I think came from Tessuti a couple of years ago.

I made it straight from the pattern, using the size I normally use, and it fits really well. The only think I'd change is to add a couple of cm to the length (or I might just make a pair of slightly high waisted pants to wear with it).
