“Absolutely love sewing this pattern. Clear, easy to understand instructions. Looking forward to more JCasa patterns. - Staci

Fantastic pattern. Well written with very clear instructions and great color images to help guide even a novice seamstress like me through the process. - Erin

What a great cowl—thank you! - Victoria

I am an avid reader and can’t wait to try this pattern out on my 4 year old, who will only wear things that twirl. Cheers! - Cheryl”

It all started in 2006. I was on hiatus from teaching, at home raising our twins, writing a blog, and Etsy was brand new and full of possibilities. I began by selling my handmade goods - and lots of them - which was a great deal of fun. Thank you to all of my customers over the years! Meanwhile, I began publishing tutorials on my blog and free-lance writing for several websites, which led to writing four books. The focus of my shop naturally shifted to “DIY” in order to satisfy the interests of my customer base while also fulfilling my creative spirit and allowing me a greater work/life balance. I absolutely love encouraging the creative endeavors of others, and I believe in empowering entrepreneurial makers to sell items they create using my patterns. I wish you much success and would love to hear about it! If you make something inspired by my patterns/tutorials, please use the hashtag #makesomethingspecial on social media so I can check out your work! xoxo
