I made it! I decided to enter the Pattern Review Sewing Bee this year and managed to sew these up today. I've lurked in the shadows admiring the projects for a few years and thought I'd give it a shot this year - at least for the first round, lol!

For my second Monarch jacket I sized up one size to an 18 because I wanted a little more ease for an outerwear feel. This final version of the extended size has bust darts, which makes for lovely subtle shaping.

The @allieolson.patterns Monarch jacket is now available in extended sizing with a D cup draft. Woohoo! I tested it last autumn and I have been wearing this top non-stop since then.

It's March! Finalllyyyyy! And it's time for new patterns from @seamwork. I made the new Benning dress in a gorgeous rayon linen blend and it's love!

Last hands-on class today at #sewexpo2021 was this Sew a Fat Quarter Container lesson with Clearview Designs, who I just noticed are based out of Snohomish. I love Snohomish!

Today's main class was a wonderful lesson making bound buttonholes with @islander_sewing_systems. It was very clear and precise and I learnt a lot.
