Favorites among sewing bloggers and DIY aficionados, her books and patterns focus on pieces that are pretty yet basic. Her online shop ""Kanon"" features original fabric designs as well as patterns for her original women's and children's clothing."

The patterns are easy to use and versatile. The author has designed
beautiful children's clothing that anyone can sew. This is my go-to

"…the book has a clean aesthetic, which I love. The garments are
beautifully made in a soft, muted colour palette that is very
pleasing to look at and I appreciate the concise instructions with
detailed diagrams. Measurements are given in both imperial and
metric, making it easy to accurately cut out pattern pieces adding
seam allowances…I look forward to making many more garments with
these patterns as I have confidence in the fit and am thoroughly
impressed by the designs. If you have someone on your Christmas
list who loves sewing for girls, I highly recommend this book.
There is something for every little girl love and even a few pieces
for moms, too! --Elegance & Elephants blog
