RALPH PINK PATTERNS + GIVEAWAY *CLOSED*

I stumbled on Ralph Pink Patterns a few years ago. Back then, the site offered a mix of corset and high fashion patterns, along with a few free blocks (which are still available under "Free Patterns" here). I was curious about the company and pinned a few things, but you know how it is. There are always a hundred projects on the go, and my "To Sew" board on Pinterest is getting so bloated I'm scared...

A SEQUIN SHIFT FOR A MISSISSIPPI WEDDING

Why does no one tell you when you buy your first sewing machine, "Have fun.

AUTUMN IN CREAM

Today we turn the clock back, and "the man" tricks us into being happy with an extra hour of sleep in order to fool us into being satisfied with the fact that the sun will now set in Montreal at around 4:30 this afternoon. Aka, time to bust out the roast chicken recipes and settle in for a long season of sweaters and binge Netflixing. Right now I'm bundled up on on my balcony soaking in some sun,...
