Sew the Days Away: Show me the Mashups!

What is a Mashup??? Well dear readers, I am so glad that you asked.  A mashup is any time that you take components from two different patterns and combine them to make a new pattern.  This is a really fun way to create custom looks and to stretch your sewing abilities and creativity.  If you are newer to sewing, it can be very intimidating to Frankenstein pieces of a pattern together - which is why I, and my team of amazing ladies, are here to walk you through the process.  The best first step is to take patterns that both...
