We need some good fortune, and the Fortuna Sweater is just the thing we need. If you’ve been a regular customer, you already know that we can NOT resist color-blocking. It’s our thing, but I digress. Allow me to introduce you to Fortuna. It comes in our standard sizes 12m – 14/ 80 – 164; there are two back options, sleeve options, and lengths. Our testers also figured out many different ways to embellish this pattern that adds no extra time to assembly.

Let’s take a look.

There are so many things you can do with this pattern. Add some ruffles, add piping, use a zipper on the pockets. Our testers have also used the Regem, Velocitas, and Omni hoods. The possibilities are endless.

WHEW! What a rough three months. Growing pains are real, and we have the bruises to show for them, but what doesn’t kill you makes you stronger. That being said, we are so thankful for you, our customers. If not for you we would not be here. So how do we show you that we appreciate all of you? How about a free pattern?

How about a skirt for adults and children? Maybe one that comes in four lengths and has pockets?

Meet the Free Liberam Skirt. Would you like to see some pictures? Great I have many to show you.

Thumbhole Cuffs – The Hack We All Need

Written by Melissa on November 6, 2020. Posted in Boy, Girl, Hacks/Tutorials, Blog, Omni Tempore, Otium, Pattern hacks, Shirt, Shirt patroon. 2 Comments

It’s finally cooler, but it’s not quite cold enough for gloves. Or if your children are like mine, they can’t keep up with any gloves. They also pull and tug on their sleeves, which drives me insane, but I digress, lol.

How do we avoid that? THUMBHOLE CUFFS! Deborah was nice enough to demonstrate three different quick tutorials for thumbhole cuffs. Try all three and let us know which is your favorite.

Method 1:

Method 2:

Method 3:

That’s it! Three different ways to add thumbhole cuffs without adding a ton of time to your project. You can add these to any of our cuffs. Be sure to show us your thumbhole cuffs on Facebook at Sofilantjes Patterns Sew and Show and IG @sofiantjes_anne.
