In today’s Friday Sews, I’m sharing what I’m wearing and what I’ve been sewing lately—because you know I love a cozy little catch-up while we talk fabric and makes. My top is McCall’s 8144 in that pretty Cassa Collection fabric from JoAnn’s, and I paired it with my own self-drafted, upcycled, reversible kimono. That kimono is one of my favorite kinds of projects—wearable art that can be styled a bunch of ways, and it’s a perfect reminder that upcycling doesn’t have to look “crafty.” It can look intentional and beautiful. My featured piece of the week is the Styla Belmont Top from Little Lizard King (Styla Patterns). I also chat about adding special details—like a pre-printed “Welcome” motif that’s finished with cross-stitch and embroidery—and I mention the “Animal Crackers Lily” artwork by Stacy Nash. And if you love a little extra fun with your sewing content, I’ve got a giveaway going this week: McCalls 8145. Just answer the question in the comments, like the video, and make sure you’re subscribed (U.S. only), and I’ll draw on January 30, 2026.
