Development for the #ChoicePattern happened very quickly and on a whim. We've finally caught up with our wonderful fit model for some photography of the 1X-5X size range. She is pictured here wearing the original base pattern.

Today, we’re breaking down the first of many design variations to demonstrate how the original pattern of the #ChoicePattern pieces transform into new looks. First up: Collared shirt with added fullness and front ties. #sewingpattern #patternhacking

I needed a new bag! …so why not make it a pattern?! Filming the #sewing process for the Remote Tote this week.
