Elastic Tapioca Trousers
The Elastic Waist Tapioca Trousers feature a high waist, front pleats, and hidden inseam pockets. They’re designed to be comfortable, easy going, and have generous ease throughout the hips and crotch. If you're unfamiliar with the term ease, you can think of it like the space between your body and the garment.
When designing these trousers, I wanted to create a quick and simple garment that makes a big impact in your closet. It’s a staple that’s easy to style and feels like secret pajamas - my favorite kind of pants!
This is a BEGINNER FRIENDLY PDF sewing pattern that is designed to help beginner sewists learn skills to become an intermediate sewist. You will learn how to sew an inseam pocket, how to sew a French seam, how to sew pleats, and how to sew an elastic waistband.

Complete the handmade look with a top and a bag!
The Sparkle Top is a sleek and minimalist piece designed to be a versatile wardrobe essential. It features delicate straps, princess seams, and a slightly dropped waist. The clean lines and close fit create a modern silhouette, perfect for layering or wearing on its own. Plus, the optional dress view adds a touch of casual sophistication, making it easy to style for both laid-back and more polished looks.
This INTERMEDIATE LEVEL sewing pattern comes with BEGINNER FRIENDLY instructions, illustrations, and an accompanying video tutorial to make the construction process straightforward. You will learn a variety of techniques, such as installing an invisible zipper, gathering fabric, and sewing a fully lined bodice. No serger is required for the top view, making it accessible for those with basic sewing machines!
Sizes:
- 0 - 34, which correlate to Full Bust 30"-55.5" and Waist 24"-54"
- The pattern includes a fully lined option for both the top and dress views, making it adaptable for various fabric types and preferences. Designed for a B cup (a 2" difference between the upper bust and full bust measurements), it also features detailed directions for full bust adjustments (FBA) or small bust adjustments (SBA) if needed.
This pattern includes:
- Detailed instructions with clear illustrations
- Nested Print-at-Home Files (US Letter + A4 compatible) with layers
- Large Format File (A0/Copyshop)
- Projector File
- Detailed YouTube Tutorial: https://youtu.be/LewHwLWr-6A
Pattern Details:
- Delicate Spaghetti Straps
- Princess Seams for a Tailored Fit
- Slightly Dropped Waistline
- Optional Dress View
- Invisible Zipper Installation
- Full Bodice Lining
Suitable Fabrics:
When selecting fabric for The Sparkle Top, you have a wide range of options to suit your style. Medium-weight fabrics like cotton poplin, quilting cotton, and chambray are ideal, offering a great balance between structure and comfort. For a bolder, standout look, you can even use thicker fabrics like denim. If you prefer thinner fabrics, those will work beautifully as well, though we recommend interfacing the lining to add structure and increase opacity.
However, we advise against using stretch fabrics, knits, or materials with a strong drape, as they will not hold the top’s shape as intended. For the dress view, we recommend avoiding heavier fabrics for the skirt, as they can make gathering difficult and create bulk.
The pattern also requires a lining, and we suggest choosing a fabric that’s slightly lighter in weight than your outer fabric, especially if you’re using a heavier material. Lightweight cottons are a great choice for the lining!

The Daily Bag is a timeless shoulder bag, perfect for all your necessities but elevated enough to feel special every time you wear it. It can be made with a simple fixed strap for effortless daily wear, an adjustable tie strap for added drama, or the optional bow for an eye catching statement.
When designing my wedding wardrobe, I wanted to make intentional time for accessories that could live beyond one moment, pieces I’d reach for long after the celebration. The Daily Bag is just that: an easy going carry that bridges everyday practicality with something worth remembering.
Whether you sew it as a gift or for yourself, The Daily Bag is meant to carry a little bit of your story wherever it goes. I hope that wearing this bag makes you feel as special as you are.
This is a BEGINNER FRIENDLY PDF sewing pattern that is designed to help sewists build confidence with simple, approachable bag making techniques. You'll learn how to sew a lining, how to interface fabric, how to sew a bow, and more.
Sizes:
This pattern comes with one size, but fun hack: If you want to make a smaller or larger version of the bag, you can simply scale the pattern pieces while printing. For example, if you want a smaller bag, you can print the pattern at 75% scale. If you want a larger bag, you can print the pattern at 125% scale.
This pattern includes:
- Step by step illustrated instructions written for beginners
- Nested Print at Home File (compatible with US Letter and A4) with layers
- Large Format File (A0/Copyshop)
- Projector File for those using projectors for sewing
- Detailed tutorial to guide you every step of the way
Pattern Details:
- Fully lined bag with clean finishes
- Optional front bow detail that is detachable
- Adjustable tie straps or a fixed strap variation
- Internal and external pockets
Suitable Fabrics:
The Daily Bag works beautifully in a range of fabrics depending on your desired look and feel. For a structured, everyday version, try a medium to heavy weight fabric such as denim, canvas, or twill. These options hold their shape well and will ensure your bag easily withstands the weight of everything you carry.
If you prefer a softer or more relaxed look, consider fabrics like cotton or lightweight denim. To maintain structure while using lighter fabrics, this pattern includes instructions for interfacing the lining of the bag.
