I’m excited to introduce you all today to Dawn and David, the husband/wife team of One Girl Cookies. They are Brooklyn’s little gems and I’ve been buying their delicious cookies for years.

Fueled by friends and family, she took a leap…

Pattern Study: Iconically Ikat
If you know me, you’ll know that I’m a sucker for an Ikat print. So today we’re studying the ethnic Ikat print from our pattern glossary board. I have the impressionist print in lots of bold colors nestled in my home, like my Louis XVI armchair above. Bright coral and hot pink Ikat prints from one of my favorite fabric shops adorn custom benches in my home as well. The print screams resort and makes me want…
