I’m a very creative person with a flair to share and a desire to inspire. Since selling my business in 2014 my time is spent teaching and creating.

I’ve set up my Epic3 for embroidery for the first time. What struck me the most is how sturdy everything is. It all fits together perfectly. The hoop attaches smoothly with no pulling, tugging or pushing. Thank you, #husqvarnaviking and #stitchbystitchkingston. This is going to be a great experience. #sewwhatyvette #epic3 #sweetpeaembroidery

by Jalie; cozy Caroline. This version features unique, deep side pockets that stay at the front and a snuggly collar. The sleeves and the bottom are cuffed. The fabric is a navy wide ribbed stretch terry, it shows best in the frame on each side of the photo. #jaliepatterns #jalielife #jaliecaroline #sewwhatyvette #sewover50

Warm hands, thanks to Mimi mittens from Jalie! 17 sizes are included. I used a remnant of nylon for the outer layer, some polyester quilt batting for filler and fleece inside and for the cuffs. @jalie_patterns @sewwhatyvette #jaliemimi #sewingmittens

Sewing with my sistas. This group of women (plus a few others who aren’t in the pic) clothed 8 children in the Quinte West Adopt a Child program, sewed 70 pairs of pj pants and crocheted toys and hats. We used Jalie’s Martin lounge pants and boxers pattern, which I slightly modified for simplicity. (Blog post is coming with details) @quinte_west @jalie_patterns #jaliemartin @sewwhatyvette #sewingpjs #sewingproject #sewingforchildren #sewingforcharity

Picked up yesterday, this very, very soft fleece is destined to become a cozy Christmas sweater. Now to decide, will it be Jalie’s Emilie or Jalie’s Nathalie? Time will tell. #sewwhatyvette @jalie_patterns #jalieemilie #jalienathalie #sewchristmassweater

Pocket inserted in Jalie’s Danielle, all set for my class tonight for @thatsewingplace. I love this plaid sweater knit that I was gifted by a friend. @thatsewingplace @sewwhatyvette @jalie_patterns #jaliedanaelle #sewover50 #sewover60

Jalie’s Nathalie, stripped down to the basic shape to show off the fabric and that great collar. No interfacing in this collar so it drapes away from my neck comfortably. Check out my check matching! Pants are Zoom joggers. @jalie_patterns @sewwhatyvette #jalienathalie #jaliezoom #sewover50 #sewover60

Jalie’s Nathalie, totally modified. This soft stretchy knit snagged my rough gardening hands, and everything else. I stabilized the front shoulders, and the back neck. There’s no pocket, or pocket band and the sleeves are3/4 with no cuffs. I LOVE the buffalo plaid and the soft drape of this collar. Hems are wide cover stitch. @jalie_patterns @sewwhatyvette #jalienathalie #husqvarnavikingamberairs600 #sewover50 #sewover60
