We are happy to be sponsoring a couple of great, social, fashion events here in town next month. Modified Style Portland and Portland Frocktails are both sure to be great events for anyone interested in fashion, sustainable fashion, making your own, and chatting it up with other like-minded individuals. So mark your calendars and get your tickets!
Read MoreI feel mad accomplished with the finishing of my Carolyn PJs. They've been on my mind since last fall but I didn't actually start working on them until this March, the beginning of spring and presumably, warmer weather.

Read MoreHave you all been following the return of Sew Liberated?! Meg McElwee was one of the first independent pattern makers in my sewing world. The Schoolhouse Tunic and the Clara Dress are two of her very flattering patterns that have been perennial favorites here at Bolt. She's coming back to pattern design after a hiatus, and she seems to have spent her time away reading minds because she's putting out exactly the patterns that I've been searching for. It looks like many sewists feel equally understood judging by Instagram fervor over her new designs.
