Hi there! Hope things are going well for you? Things have been quiet around here, largely as I've been told to relax and stay quiet to get over a nasty chest infection. This has meant some sewing time I wasn't expecting but also very sloooooow sewing as I have just not had the concentration. But... Continue Reading →
Foxy lady?!
Hello there! How's life? Hope things are going swimmingly for you, and I don't mean that literally (despite the floods of rain hammering down on my roof windows right now!) The make I've got ready today has taken quite some time, although not because it was particularly complicated; sometimes life just gets in the way,... Continue Reading →
Getting organised
So how is 2016 shaping up for you? Hope it's going well. We seem to be into a flurry of child birthday parties (there are 45 children in Beth's foundation classroom and she's been very lucky in how many invites she gets), crazy season at work and associated health problems (hello there, first migraine of...

Christmas sewing: applied learning
Hello and happy new year! Hope 2016 started well for you? For us it was a very quiet one; a much needed, muddy walk in the fresh air during the day, followed by a nice meal we cooked at home, a spot of TV and sleep! Rock and roll, I know - life with small... Continue Reading →
Sewing Christmas gifts
Hello! How's everything going in your world? Christmas was quite hectic here, including a visit to an emergency GP at 9am on Christmas Day with our poorly 3 year old (less than ideal!), but all in all it was good. The last couple of days have been particularly chilled, involving a lot of playing with... Continue Reading →
All that glitters

I've managed to grab some time off this weekend (thanks Mum!) so have squeezed in some sewing on my Christmas dress. There's a chance now it will be finished by Christmas Day - hurrah! However today's post... Continue Reading →
Mathematical sewing
Hello! So how's life where you are? It's building up nicely to Christmas around here - one Christingle down, two Nativities, four Christmas parties (ours, nursery's, school's and work's) to go plus no end of family meals. But there has to be some time to sew, right? So this is another catch up post on... Continue Reading →
Always learning – bodices and bottoms!
Hello! So once again, life has got in the way of both sewing and blogging and it's all been rather quiet on here - apologies. Â There's been all sorts of stuff going on, work and personal. Â On the plus side, there has been some sewing and related fun going on over the last week or... Continue Reading →
Pinnies for mini bakers
Hello! This is just a very quick post tonight to show you a quick project I finished today for a friend's school. I say quick - I mean time taken to make rather than time since she asked the favour. Unfortunately multiple migraines have meant it's a couple of months since she asked for help.... Continue Reading →
A tale of two Lindens
Hello! So I've finally done it - I've stuck to my good intentions and made the same pattern twice in a row to perfect the fit! And I've continued my quest to improve my skills with stretch fabrics - go me! Let's rewind a little, shall we? I've been admiring the Grainline Linden since it popped... Continue Reading →
