I am a vintage sewing pattern nerd and love geeking out with fellow sewing people. But never did I think that there would be a conference dedicated to people just like me!
But as of last weekend: THERE IS and it was AMAZING!
I went to the first EVER PatternCon

I can’t believe Atlanta Frocktails is NEXT WEEKEND!!!!!
I love that we get to have an amazing time as makers and get a whimsical weekend. Yes, weekend. So that definitely means there will be things happening FriYay, Saturday and Sunday.
Have you gotten your tickets???
You ever just have a moment where you pause your thinking to legit wonder if we’re going to survive this current administration?
I do. And I have extreme feelings of guilt for having kids amidst this.
Yay!!!! Happy you enjoyed it!
Making my own bralettes is my fave.
YouTube sew along drops at 7pm EST.
Adding a journalist to a top secret government group chat about dropping bombs *IS* the kind of thing people who aren’t super politically literate can understand and find shocking/notable/disqualifying. Dems should seize on this and never ever let it go. I hope to hear about it in a decade
Silly me for thinking I would feel fully restored to factory settings. My head still feels loopy and I just want to be in bed.
I hate feeling subpar.
Between all the travel, jet lag, peopling, working, and not being able to rest as needed, my body is over here lollygagging on healing.
After coaching my son’s soccer game, I came home and slept 3 hours. Woke up for 3 hours and went back to sleep for 9 more hours.
Washington was an adventure to say the least.
Mmmmm I really like this idea. I was toying with adding like tabs on the outside of pants so they can be made smaller or larger at the waist.

One of the things that people need to talk about more is how thankless teaching at conferences can be.
Want to start sewing?
My order for patterns to arrive at my lodging at the same time as me. This really could have been avoided. This isn’t the first year something like this has happened to me.
At the airport heading to Seattle to teach at Sew Expo. This morning I was notified that all of my patterns have been delayed when means a monetary loss for me as well as an increase in stress. What makes me more mad is because Sew Expo doesn’t have a place we can ship things to so I had to delay
People who talk in speaker phone in public: why?
Also: don’t ever put me on speakerphone. I’m unhinged and so is my conversation.
Literally where I am now.
I love this!!!! If there’s ever any content you need please don’t hesitate to reach out.
Loving this make!
It’s a lot.
To everyone who didn't like the Super Bowl half-time show, give it a rest. Imagine how we felt on January 6th.
Yesterday, the russians🇷🇺fired 7 missiles and dropped 128 KABs on a European country. In addition, it carried out more than 5800 attacks, including 137 from multiple rocket launcher systems and engaged 3038 fpv drones. There is no peace. russia 🇷🇺 is a terrorist state.
