My friends and I have a tradition that we’ve built together. Every year around the end of December, we all sit down at our favorite brunch spot and pick our own word that will help guide us in the year to come. My word for 2022 was “renewal”. As the pandemic wound down, I was looking to move forward, refreshed and newly energized. Life can be beautiful, and life can be hard. Some people’s lives are more difficult than other people’s. Overall, my life has been incredibly blessed. But, as someone once said, the most difficult thing that has...
We have TRIED to make a perfect sweat in larger quantities for years... And it's finally happening!!! Two new styles, the Zero Waste Sweatshirt and the Short Sleeve Turtleneck, are almost complete! They'll ship in time for Christmas ;) The Process. The process of designing and developing a new style is more complicated, expensive, and time-consuming than you may think! Here's how we did it. 1. Fabric Selection and Testing We sourced a new bamboo/cotton blend terry fabric and matching rib, prioritizing softness and washability as always! We ran a shrink test before committing to this fabric. This entails washing...
Looking for a way to use those small fabric scraps? Scrunchies are the perfect beginner project! You don't even need a sewing machine or iron to make one (though a machine will speed up the process).

Our new collection drops Wednesday, March 16th. It's so close! The process of sourcing fabrics and designing new pieces for this season felt like a natural progression of our previous collections. The most important thing to get right, I decided, was how the garments made me feel. When I wear some of our most well-designed pieces, I feel perfectly put together without having to overthink styling. The silhouette, easy fit, and beautiful fabrics do all of the work so that I don't have to! With that in mind, I set about designing new garments that felt effortless and fun. My first task...
Hello sewing friends! I am so excited to share my reversible top tutorial! Here, you’ll be able to get sewing instructions as well as the PDF sewing pattern for our best-selling Pamut piece, the Hanna Top. This is a classic top pattern, made better by the fact that it is reversible (you can wear it with the V in the front or in the back). Its also very easily adjusted to suit your personal taste and body shape (you can easily lengthen or shorten the body, make the V deeper, or even add patch pockets!). In addition, this pattern looks great...
"...I put too much pressure on myself to be a version of “successful” that probably does not exist..." At the beginning of 2022 and after two years of exponential growth, I’m sitting down to do our first ever financial planning session and yearly recap. It’s a bit embarrassing to admit, but I try not to pay too much attention to the financial ins and outs of Pamut… In the past, I’ve found this a stressful (and tearful) endeavor. I realize this is because I put too much pressure on myself to be a version of “successful” that probably does...
