As 2026 unfolds.... yearning for new adventures, experiences and projects fill my thoughts.
How can we connect with others in more meaningful ways? What will we create?…What calls me forward now?
For me…I’m always looking for ways wood and textile can play together in my hands. I combined some favorite sticks with bits of fabric for this new studio pin cushion.See more pin cushion ideas in my Pin Cushion Icons PDF pattern.
My Textile life-Over the years, I’ve enjoyed designing and redesigning my wardrobe….so as 2026 unfolds, thinning out my pattern stash has been a satisfying activity.
‘We probably only need 4-5 basic patterns…’ I’ve heard myself say in workshops.
My design focus is usually changing and adding details and playing with silhouettes of my garments.
Keep your Basics:
My basics are: Pant Pattern (Capitola Pant), several tops and tunics I (which can also be shirts or dresses) and my favorite coat/jacket/vest designs: including Ashland Vest, Cloud Coat, Faultlines and the O’Keeffe.
Changing up the Construction Process-Build your favorite part first- this can give way to ideas for other details as you work. Your start might be a pocket, sleeves or in this case the collar. I en-visioned what I wanted the collar and front opening to look like with the darker flannel on top and the lighter color combo peeking through from the linging side.
Next, the fronts were a focus as pieces of the shirts were cut out, overlapped and adjusted to fit a tunic pattern piece that was used as a guide. Each front was constructed and finished separately- stitched and lined with the thinner blue flannel fabric. The back was the next, worked in the same fashion. Using some pieces on the bias will add more give across the back. The top of the sideseams are connected for 4-5” just enough to add the sleeves, but not sewn all the way down.
Sleeves & Armholes-Once the shoulders were connected, the armholes were bound to finish. For this garment, The sleeves were created, lined, turned and topstitched to the outside of the shirt with a sq armhole across the bottom….very comfortable!! ( The Cacicedo coat has a square armhole and I often create them to be open across the bottom. I love make this as a shirt! See my website for shirt DE Extras for the Cacicedo….Its not a pattern, but its all the cool design changes and directions for making the Cacicedo pattern into a beautiful, timeless shirt. The last step is shaping the silhouette allowing side seam options to create overlaps, topstitching or sewing a shaped seam leaving slits.

Finding out about infidelity is a terrible discovery that can destroy a relationship’s foundation of trust. People frequently use social media platforms to engage in covert behavior in a world where technology is a part of our lives on a daily basis. Have you ever had that sinking feeling in the pit of your stomach, suspecting that something wasn’t quite right in your relationship? Well, that’s exactly how I felt when I started to notice subtle changes in my wife’s behavior. Little did I know that these signs would lead me on a journey of discovery through the depths of social media platforms. Thankfully, with the help of the latest tech tools like SEFTYHUB I was able to uncover a shocking truth that had been hidden from me for far too long. Trust is the foundation of any healthy relationship, and when that trust begins to erode, it can be a painful experience. I couldn’t help but feel a nagging doubt in the back of my mind, a gut feeling that something wasn’t right. While I desperately wanted to dismiss these thoughts and trust my partner, I couldn’t shake the growing suspicion. One of the first signs that something was amiss was the change in my wife’s behavior. She became more secretive with her phone, guarding it as if it held the secrets to the universe. Our once open and honest communication became strained, and she seemed to distance herself emotionally. These changes left me wondering what was really going on behind the scenes. In a time when technology permeates every aspect of our lives, it is critical to understand the significance of digital security and privacy. Social networking sites are now a virtual window into people’s lives, but regrettably, they can also serve as a haven for treachery and dishonesty. It is crucial to secure our digital footprints and to protect our personal information.
