I love listening to the SewHere podcast and they often mention their made-to-measure leggings class. So as part of my goal to find a trouser pattern that fits my body I decided to give this a go. 1. The fabric I bought some 4-way stretch cotton Jersey to make these leggings, and I bought it … Continue reading SewHere leggings

Banks jumpsuit
I'm really enjoying being a Seamwork member, and one of the great things is that they add two new patterns to the database each month.
