You can never have too many pockets

The Epoch pocket is easy, fast and fun to sew and is so customizable. It’s a great scrap buster and the perfect canvas for embroidery or applique. It’s also so practical and adds a bit of flourish to any outfit.

Up your embroidery game

Twig + Tale’s patterns taught me to embroider, so it’s only fitting that they also helped bring my embroidery to the next level. I love the detail in the Secret Garden Embroidery Handbook. It really covers everything and can be applied to so much, even beyond embroidery. The included pattern helps you feel like your hand is being held, but the guide provides so much theory and technique that its easy to branch out and create your own designs.

worth the time

It took a while to blend sizes and to sew it all, but I really enjoyed this project and am now enjoying my lightweight linen jacket.

lovely and easy

I enjoyed making the blouse for a friend and so immediately made another one for myself, it came together very quickly and easily.
