Today I’m so excited to introduce you to my Rectangle Top—a pattern made entirely from rectangles. The pattern includes three main views, but the real fun is in mixing and matching all the options for the neckline, waist, and sleeves. After watching this video, you might just draft your own version—and that’s totally fine. But if you would like tested measurements for sizes and a clear guide to follow along, the pattern is available for purchase.
The Arles Top is inspired by a sun-drenched town in southern France—a place I’ve long dreamed of visiting with my mom. It’s a breezy, relaxed-fit blouse with soft gathers, dolman sleeves, and a delicate shawl collar you can skip for a cleaner look. ☀️✨ With front ties and a comfy elastic back, it’s full of easygoing charm—but not the easiest project for beginners. That’s why I made this video to guide you through each step. With a bit of patience (and this video by your side), you’ll get there—and love the result.
La Ciotat is inspired by a charming port town in southern France that I’ll be visiting this June with my mom and aunts. It’s a vacation-vibe double tie wrap skirt that’s light, breezy, and fun to wear — just perfect for spring and summer! ☀️🌸 Whether you wear it on holiday or around the city, this beginner-friendly skirt will make your outfit feel extra special.

Hello! Sara here. First of all, Happy New Year! Now Let’s our 2025 sewing journey! A new pattern has been released! Last January, the Hanbok Vest was launched, and it received so much love from you all. So, I wanted to release a Hanbok-related pattern this January. This time, I added sleeves. With the addition of sleeves, the pattern was completed in a way that feels formal but can also look casual depending on styling and fabric choices.

Hello, Sara here, and I’m excited to share my latest pattern with you: The Tie Dress! Inspired by my previous summer’s makes, I’ve finally brought this vision to life, and I’m thrilled to sew along with you.
Let me give you a quick overview of the pattern. The Tie Dress features four ties, allowing for versatile styling options. Whether you prefer a loose fit or a tight one, you can tie the ties at the front, back, or even asymmetrically—it’s entirely up to you! I’ve designed the ties to be a comfortable length, but feel free to adjust them to suit your preferences.
There are two neckline variations to choose from. You can opt for a cute and elegant boat neck or switch to a structured V-neck for a sharp yet comfortable look. And if you prefer a deeper V-neck, go ahead and customize the V to your liking.
The Tie Dress offers two sleeve options: Short Sleeves and Elbow-length Sleeves.
The Short Sleeves feature a unique bottom opening detail, adding a touch of flair. If you prefer slightly less ventilation around the arms, you can easily sew longer side seams to block the opening.
For the Elbow-length Sleeves, I have incorporated an inverted pleat detail. This subtle feature enhances the elegance of your arms, creating a dramatic yet slimming effect.
The Tie Dress comes with pockets! However, I must emphasize that they are entirely optional.
Personally, I lean towards omitting pockets as the construction and versatility of the Tie Dress are such that pockets may disrupt the silhouette.
But I understand the allure of pockets as they’re incredibly handy! So, if you’re determined to have them, fear not, as I have provided instructions for adding inseam pockets as an option. feel free to omit the pockets if you’re hesitant about their impact on the silhouette.
The charm of sewing your own garments lies in the ability to customize your fit to your unique body and style preferences, perfectly.
Okay, now let’s dive into creating your Tie Dress together!
