Using the lovely ZELDA sewing pattern we know you probably own. As a club member we have created even more value, and that is our new GET THE LOOK program! We feature a look we find or you have requested and we create a hack using one of our existing sewing patterns. (Knowing you may already have it!) Thanks for being a part of our wonderful little community of amazing people. You are amazing and keep sewing your own style! Welcome to our first GET THE LOOK feature. These hacks will be available here on the Gazette so make sure you subscribe to the GAZETTE for upcoming hacks. The Gazette also has features on workshops, SYCHIL projects, and well, anything club newsworthy. We value your memberships and want to offer so much as part of our beautiful community of unique and creative individuals like you. Below you will find the file to create your new outfit from ZELDA. JUST CLICK AND PRINT, tape if necessary. Instructions included. Please note: You will need the ZELDA TG-A3124 sewing pattern to complete this project.

I am thrilled to tell you SYCHIL 6 is loaded onto this site for easy viewing. As a digital experience it's lovely and concise with little buttons to get to where you want within the magazine quick. Plus of course, all patterns have download buttons for access to the featured projects throughout the magazine. I know you're going to love this softly romantic, pretty and quiet issue. Perfect for our time of staying in, whether we are working or just being. This issue has pretty things to make and be well in. Even though I am at home I love to throw on something pretty, my pearls of course or a featherlight necklace as shown in SYCHIL 6. Lots to look at and be inspired to make. I hope you love the projects we have created, and it includes 4 new patterns and 2 reworked patterns just for you. Club members (Platinum & Gold) and SYCHIL subscribers have access to SYCHIL issues. We worked in lightweight cotton voiles from Robert Kaufman Fabrics, woven cotton from Diamond Textiles, and silk organza for light and airy pieces we know you'll love. Resources include Etsy shops for all their pretty little things, in this case for vintage buttons and Lace Appliqués. Our profile designer is someone who is elusive and difficult to find. You will love her conceptual and deliberate pieces.

The time flies by and all of a sudden a whole year has gone by and my wish list for you is not done. We have opened up a lot of interesting choices for you this year including this new 'magazine format' site. If you are Silver, Gold or Platinum members you have access to the workshops and if you are Gold or Platinum levels, you have access to SYCHIL on this site too. We have made it much more user friendly for you to review and link to patterns and downloads right in the pages. If you have not already done so, this is a great place to read and discover the magazines. A few days ago we sent out a survey and I am overwhelmed (in a good way) with the amount of responses we received. It is so exciting. This is such a great way to ask your opinion and determine what we can do better on and what we can enhance. We also like to hear the good comments of course, and I am excited to read through each response. There's a lot so bare with me. I'll be reporting the news and feedback we get. There are a few anonymous folks out there which is completely ok, but I am so sorry we can't send you the free NANCY DREW download sewing pattern. There is also a special little added bonus in our email as a thank you. If you have not taken the survey, please visit HERE and give us your thoughts! The survey closes tomorrow at midnight! 11.7.19 EST

I know you! You’re always busy with your hands. Am I right? When you sit down to relax do you pick up your knitting, embroidery or hand stitching?

Here’s my evening project which is taking me some time but I’m almost done and ready for the next one! Let me know! Psst: don’t judge my stitches

It’s never too early to start a specific mood board for your wardrobe!

This program is not just for a Tina Givens lagenlook, but anything you are currently gravitating to. Psst we are building a new section of patterns for A youthful slimmer look based on our recent research study, so stay tuned... in in the meantime behin to pin and when it’s time to reflect on what your look is. Review what you see in the big picture, and through those pins you will know what to check off in the concept lists! Note: over the process of BYW this mood board will evolve as you pin down specifics. You will constantly revisit the board to add or remove certain aspects as you travel through the prigram.

We've created our clothes and patterns as the backbone for an interactive learning space where our lovely little family can collaborate and share their creations. Now we want to share some of our tricks of the trade with YOU! Obviously everyone approaches sewing differently, but these blog posts might be useful during your sewing journey no matter what you're making. We'll sprinkle in some fun posts too.
