Introducing: Volcano Patterns!!

Hello friends!

I've been planning something different for a while in order to continue my brand a little further. I'm very happy to introduce you to....Volcano Patterns! My love of pattern drafting just needs to be shared.

I am currently brainstorming how to bring the most current styles to sewing enthusiasts. At the beginning I will be doing PDF downloadable patterns and hopefully branching out into paper patterns in a few years.
Etsy store: volcanopatterns.etsy.com

Because I am expecting another little bundle of joy in March, I want to take advantage of my current situation and will be launching a capsule of maternity clothing patterns.





I still plan to stock the hotelle motelle Shop but it may be primarily maternity clothes for a little bit :)


Follow along with my video tutorials to get some great tips about sewing, even if you aren't using Volcano Patterns. I promise I have some amazing secrets to share!!

Where the Wild Things Are

My favourite book EVER is now a movie:

I can't describe how happy this makes me. My mom read me this book when I was a kid...I can remember how happy me and my brother were when it was available at the library!

I'm so pumped that I'm going to go as Max for halloween this year. I think it will be the most comfortable costume I've ever worn! Stay tuned for pictures of my costume and Andrew's costume as well!

Where The Wild Things Are

I'm all about the details

I think the term 'handmade' comes with a lot of negative connotations....loose threads, uneven stitches, bad overall quality. I have never been a fan of poorly made clothes, even if they are home-made, and of the 'thought that counts' variety. Since the dawn of my sewing career, mid-highschool, I have been detail oriented and driven to perfection. 

Currently, I am mastering hoodies. The latest crop is amazing. I can't wait to see how my future items turn out. Using little tricks like binding the hood/neck with ribbing, lining the zipper & hood, serging everything and even adding a tag is what makes my hoodies fabulous. 

The final product is nothing short of what I would want for myself. Enjoy the close ups!
