Tonight in Portland!

Fellow Portlanders, don’t forget to stop by our party tonight at Modern Domestic, from 6 to 8pm!

We’ve been having an awesome time at our parties so far, in both Vancouver and Seattle. It’s so great to meet everyone! Here are a few photos from the events so far.

More photos are on Flickr and our Facebook page.

Thanks, that’s my Hazel. It’s just a nice soft cotton I picked up a couple years ago, with a slightly asymmetrical edge print. I never could decide on a pattern that was worthy of it until I saw Hazel. Took about 2 hours to lay out the pattern pieces, but it was so worth it.

Also, the funniest thing was the look on my midwife’s face as she walked into Spool of Thread looking for some new fabric… “Is there some kind of party going on in here?!?!?!” LOL!!!!
