I guess it's getting cooler other places...right? You can't really tell where I am, but in the spirit of seasons changing and warmer-wardrobes calling, here's a little bit of fall sewing with Euclid. ...
Euclid Scallop Hem Shorts.
It's summertime, a.k.a. my favorite time of the year, and nothing says summertime like a good pair of shorts. I live in shorts all summer long...and actually, since it's summer--or feels like ...
Summer shorts: Essex and Interweave Chambray.

I'm working on refining my summer wardrobe staples, and one thing that I know is that cotton lawn will be a big part of that equation. This is why I eagerly said yes to trying out the new cotton lawn ...
Summer Makes: City Gym Shorts.

hello new year!
I'm feeling quite refreshed after taking a break. I had my computer turned off for at least a solid week, which is nothing short of a miracle. I did sneak a moment here and there on my ipad, but ...
