Easter Sewing 2024

 I recently saw Maven Pattern has a new pattern release and the Ludo Capelet pattern seemed to call to me.  I liked the simple clean lines of the capelet.  I had a million versions made up in my mind!

The Floral Brocade fabric has been in my stash for years waiting for the perfect pattern.  So happy that I found a happy marriage with the fabric and pattern.  I am thinking of using a broach/pin for the neck but unsure of which one since I have no idea what dress I'm wearing!

Purple Daisy Pin?

Rhinestone Pin?


Of course I had to sew something for Dear Hubby too.  I started with the Simplicity 6694 Men's Tie.  Easy sew but lots of hand sewing.  I made a 12" pocket square.  Then I had fabric left over so I sewed him the Simplicity 9345 Men's Vest.  I am in Love with this!
