Our favorite season kicked off with an amazing start! Eleven incredible seamstresses joined us for our biannual style tour and we can’t believe all the creativity and inspiration they shared. While the tour wrapped up earlier this month, we can’t help but take a look back at each stop, revisiting our favorites and refining our list for our own fall sewing! Here is a full recap, including links to each post and the fabrics and patterns used.

We kicked off the fall tour with two patterns from our must-sew list! First, we sewed up a tied-waist pullover in a cozy printed sweater knit. We paired that with a classic cropped trouser in an ultra comfortable stable knit. Both turned out to be perfect additions for our fall wardrobe and patterns we can’t wait to revisit.
