I am excited to share one of my favorite garments I have ever made! This checked jacket is an amalgamation of so much inspiration. I have been seeing a lot of oversized statement blazers lately like this one. Via the Zoe Report I also (like everyone else) watched the Queen's Gambit and was OBSESSED with the fashion. Via the NY Times I got the main fabric for my coat from Stone Mountain and Daughter. It was the last of a designer deadstock wool. I'm sorry to say there isn't any left.

At the beginning of each year I like to think of a word that will guide my decisions in the new year and the word I chose in the beginning of 2020 was solidify. I started the year feeling a little unmoored. Friday had a lot of growth in 2019 and I was feeling both excitement and imposter’s syndrome. There were big deal partnerships and collaboration opportunities that I never imagined my company having.

This guest post was written by Leanne of @threadyforit You can shop the Hughes Dress here.  ---- Hi y'all!  I'm Leanne from @threadyforit a 30 something sewist living in Phoenix, AZ. As a plus sized sewist, I always get excited when indie pattern companies expand their sizes for existing patterns, and the Hughes Dress from Friday Pattern Company is no exception. Our community has been making such strides to be more size inclusive and it's amazing to see how far it's come in the past three years. Every month more and more patterns are more readily available in a larger size range and, speaking just from my POV, it's such a good feeling to feel seen and heard by a community that you love...
