Pattern Review




I have wonderful customers! One customer in particular is always inspiring me with her marvelous projects. I looked at her blog, blackcatdesigns.wordpress.com, for the first time today and I was blown away! From beautiful cable knit sweaters to elegant jewelry and fun spring skirts, Elizabeth is multi faceted in the creative and textile realms. Last year, Elizabeth was kind enough to give me Retro Butterick pattern #B4790. I have used it several times and plan on making more. It is super simple and fits great. I love it! Thanks Elizabeth.

Thanks Mom!

My Mom is a wonderful woman and seamstress. She was the one who taught me to sew and continually inspires me with her creativity. She is always supportive of me and Yellow Bird Fabrics. She made me these "yellow bird" aprons for my birthday and I love them!
