Sun Dog Mitts
Sun dogs are an optical phenomenon that consists of a bright spot on one or both sides of the Sun within a 22° halo. They are a somewhat common occurrence here in the winter. When trying to come up with a name for these mitts I wanted something that reminded me of winter and potentially came… Continue reading Sun Dog Mitts
Miss Limestone Coat Add-On
As you may know our Limestone Coat was originally created as a cool-weather layering option. The cropped sleeve on this coat was a purposeful design choice and we saw many beautiful versions created with some really chic outfit layering. Of course it still came as no surprise that people also started asking for a full sleeve option as the weather cooled even more.
Vista Visor
With summer coming I started thinking about camping, brighter sunlight hours and being outdoors. I know I like having a hat on hand (especially for beach days), but often can't figure out what to do with my hair since I prefer to throw it up in a bun/ponytail when it's hot out. I started to… Continue reading Vista Visor

Minnow Swimsuit
It's swimsuit season! (Or so I've heard.....we DID just get another dumping of snow earlier this week.) Last year we didn't actually have a new swim pattern and it felt a little weird so this year we decided to make two: The Minnow and the Pike! You can read more about the Pike Swimsuit on… Continue reading Minnow Swimsuit
Miss Wood Lily
These pants were first thought up as one part of a full outfit after perusing a couple online RTW stores to see what teens were buying these days. There were so many fitted crop top options being offered, but we didn't feel inspired to make a pattern for one ourselves. So what then? How about… Continue reading Miss Wood Lily
