Hello! It is nice to be back into the swing of crisp mornings, school days, and beautiful fall sunsets. I live in the Pacific Northwest and our summer has definitely come to an end. Raglans are one of my fall staples. They can stand alone, work in layers, are so comfortable, and look great on […]
Hello Pattern Exam Readers! It’s Kelly from Handmade Boy and I’m back today to talk about two raglans I sewed for my son. First, I want to share Titchy Treads Safari Raglan Tee and Dress I’m kinda in love with it. 🙂 I sewed a size 6 (though Thomas’s chest measures for a size 4, […]

Hi, it’s Kelly again from Handmade Boy and I’m back with a review on shorts. This time for women. Sewing for yourself can be HARD! Kids are pretty standard in size, they are boxes of different ratios of height and width. Women, on the other hand, are not typically so boxy. Unless you are built […]
