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.
It's been a toasty summer--not that I'm complaining--I prefer the heat over the cold any day. But because of that, I can never have too many pairs of shorts. It's what I live in, and I thought it'd be ...

My many Mercer tunics.
I might have gotten a little carried away with the Mercer Tunic pattern by Whitney Deal... I've now made 4 of them over not that long of a time period... There are several things that I like ...
more summer sewing.
I've been obsessed with this fabric. So much so that I think I've accumulated a little from each of the different color ways. I thought this ochre version would make a perfect summer ...

...at least for my sister anyway. She was in town over the weekend, giving me a good reason to finish up a purse I'd started for her a few weeks ago. It also didn't hurt that she ...
