March is always a strange month for planning our boxes. We announce them in January, when it is cold and dreary, for a month that can either be a lion or a lamb. How do you dress for such conditions? And how do you get excited for...

Springtime Sewing Is Here!

We are exploring different blouse options for the month of April so that after two months of sewing bottoms, you won't have to go walking around topless (unless that's your thing). Now, there are a lot of options out there for separates that you can pair with skirts and trousers: woven tanks, classic button-downs, tunics and more. But, we chose blouses because they combine classic styling with unique features that lift them above the ordinary. Because, at the end of the day, we know you want to make tops that look just as good with jeans as they do with your best skirt.

March Madness for Trouser Patterns

I've always found March to be an odd, transitional month. It's not quite winter - heck, it can be in the sixties on some days here in the northeast - but it's definitely not spring - I've been skiing many days in March.

This dichotomy often presents wardrobe problems for me, and that's when separates are the best. Layers, layers and more layers. So for March, I personally believe pants are the best options, and that means that we've chosen three lovely trouser patterns for your sewing pleasure.

I personally love the look of pencil skirts. You can wear them to work and look wicked professional or you could pair it with tights, boots and a short jacket and look perfect for a dinner out or a cool brunch. Plus, if you pair a fabulous skirt with a neutral top, you can create a bold statement outfit with very little effort. Pardon my French, but they are versatile AF. And this month, I've chosen three styles that will be great additions to your wardrobe.
