Sew into spring!

Hey there Reader โ€“

I've been taking it slow over here!

The past two weeks have been flowing between home, working on the farm with my grandparents, and floating between two springs breaks. All that to say, I have been taking it slow! I was also able to crank out a new YouTube video for y'all too! You can catch that here:

While I know the weather is now not exactly timely for a hoodie, I have considered sewing this in a possible athleisure fabric for a cozy yoga or pilates sweater! In this sewing tutorial I sew exposed zippers, fold over elastic, and a few pattern hacks for this Polar Puff Sleeve pattern from Isa In Stitches.

As always, if you ever have questions, please don't hesitate to email me, send me a DM, or reach out! (Or you can send a messenger otter! ๐Ÿ’Œ๐Ÿฆฆ)

Happy Sewing! Lillia

As we move through this busy season of giving, spending time with family and friends, the parties and food, I hope you can find a little...
