More reasons to try the Concord!
| Pattern of the Month! The Cashmerette Concord is everyone's new favorite tee! That's me, Elizabeth at right, with my in-progress Concord (still needs a couple fit tweaks and a hem!) I love the cup sizing offered in this pattern. There's a smooth fit over the bust that's looser at the waist and hip. The high shoulder point gives a tidy look and the sleeve is slim without being tight. I graded out two sizes in the hip as suggested by the Cashmerette size calculator, but I think one might have been enough. I can't wait to try the tabbed sleeve option next! 15% off through the month of March! Reg $ 23.00 Sale $ 19.55 Get your pattern here! |

| Friday Fun Fact! It's all about hooks and eyes! There are many different kinds available, and they all have subtly different strengths. Here are a few of the most common. At the top right are trouser (or skirt) hooks. You'll typically see these on the waistband of dressier garments. At center are the hooks and eyes you might be most familiar with. These are ideal for the top of a zipper opening or any place that meets edge-to-edge. Usually they're sewn with the tip of the eye peeking out just a bit from the edge. At the bottom right are hooks and bars. These are more discreet than basic eyes when edges overlap - the bars don't stick out and hide a little better! Hooks and eyes have been around for a LONG time - they're one of the oldest known clothing closures! Take a look at these surviving medieval-era examples! (right center) Hooks are such a basic closure that you could even make them yourself! Check out the historical sewing blog Katafalk to see more! Her photo at bottom right illustrates the steps in the process. Check out all our Friday Fun Facts in the archive here! |
