An apron is pretty basic piece and I didn't want to spend time creating a pattern that had already been done many times before. I mean, what do we really need? Some fabric on the front of us and some straps to keep it in place, right? I spent a significant amount of time looking through inspiration and then specifically at aprons online hoping to find some connection that wasn't already done.

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.
Making More of Miss Fern
Today we have Parts 2 and 3 that are designed to go together with the Miss Fern for a variety of summer dresses.
Vista Visor
With summer coming I started thinking about camping, brighter sunlight hours and being outdoors.

Size it up…..a bit.
I wanted to give you some tricks on how to add a few sizes to a pattern that is now too small.
The Sandfly Sheet Protector
This pattern is personal to me and is motivated by the desire to give my growing girls the comfort and protection they need as they navigate into womanhood. Some girls are super excited and just can't wait for their period and others dread or even fear this new stage. The last thing they want is embarrassing stains on their sheets or mattress. Old towels are doable, but suddenly I wanted something that felt a little more special.
