When I was approached to review the Hana Pattern, the first question I asked myself was “Will this fit my current mood board?” Luckily for me, most patterns can be modified or made in various material to change its ethos. Also lucky for me, the Hana Pattern didn’t need much.⁠
⁠
I was drawn to the wrap style bodice of the Hana. It is all about the details! Specifically in the waist shaping. Sure it has multiple skirt and sleeve lengths (which I love for options), but what attracted me most to this pattern was the waist belt. The waist itself is brought in with multiple pleats- changing direction to form this perfect “puffs” of fabric- the pleats since at the waist and eventuate the bust, in the most appealing way. The skirt is affixed to the bodice top with a faux belt (think of it as your waistband), with skillfully added interior ties as well as an external tie, there is no way that the skirt will fly up and open to expose your bits. The interfaced facing really helps with that. 🙂⁠

Could you tell us a bit about yourself and how you got into sewing?⁠
⁠
When I was about seven years old I learned to sew from my day-care provider who was a phenomenal sewist. As a little girl I loved to sit in her⁠
sewing room and watch her make clothes, accessories, dog toys, quilts, and even interior upholstery. She was a wonderful and patient teacher as my little hands learned how to use a sewing machine, use patterns, and pair the right fabrics with projects. To this day I still feel so lucky to have had such a talented and kind person introduce me to the world of sewing.⁠
⁠
What's it like working with fabrics-store linen?⁠
⁠
Working with the FS Premier Finish was exactly the experience I hoped it to be. After pre- washing and ironing, the fabric maintained the delicious balance of ‘refined yet relaxed’ that I love so much about linen. Visually, the color was the gentle and grounding brown that I expected based on the website images, while the rustic texture and natural slub of the linen bounces light off of beautifully in the way that only quality natural fibers do.⁠
The finished garments are exactly what I was dreaming up: a polished set perfect for meetings and events when I want to look sharp and stylish all the while keeping cool in summer’s heat and humidity.⁠

Knitting and Knotting Together Joy in Katrina Sanchez’ Textile Art⁠
⁠
Fiber artist Katrina Sanchez makes deeply tactile and brilliantly bright knitted objects that speak of her sunny childhood in Panama, bringing a joyful and optimistic sensibility to the spaces they inhabit. The innocence of her soft, puffy creations makes them immediately appealing on a surface level, but they also form a potent means of fantasy, comfort, and escapism, for both the artist through the process of making, and the viewers who are so often invited to touch and play with her art. She says, “My work explores ideas of community, healing, and renewal align. My artworks require many individual parts to come together to make a whole. At the heart of my practice is a drive to elicit a multi-sensory experience that engages the audience’s desire to play.”⁠
