Hello there! I hope you're having a good Sunday, preferably with some better weather than we've got in Leeds right now. I'm kind of hanging in there; I've felt awful this weekend, think I'm fighting an ear infection but I've just felt totally wiped out. However, I had a deadline to get some photos taken...

Hi there! Hope you're enjoying some sunshine where you are today? I'm doing a kind of double post this morning, to illustrate why you shouldn't always judge a pattern by its cover! As you may have noticed, I've been taking part in the Sew My Style challenge this year, which takes a different pattern each... Continue Reading →
Hi there! A slightly late post this week (although there's a chance I may not have properly published last week's post until about 5 minutes ago....😳) but here's my round up of week 3 of Me Made May. This week has been really busy: work is full on, I've had meetings at school outside of... Continue Reading →
Hi all! How's your day going? I've just got back from an extremely civilised afternoon tea in York with a lovely bunch of sewists to celebrate A Little Lawn Party. The journey home was somewhat eventful (thank you to the wonderfully clear signs at York train station that had two of us getting on a... Continue Reading →
Hi there! So we are one week in to Me Made May 2018 and I thought I’d do a quick round up of my month so far. My pledge was to wear at least one item of Me Made clothing a day (not really a stretch any more) but to also wear a dress at... Continue Reading →

On a personal level, it's tough; whilst it includes my birthday, it also includes the anniversary of the death of a family member which never seems to get any easier. However, on a sewing level, it's all about Me Made May. Which I love! If you... Continue Reading →
Hi there! Today is reveal day for this month's Sew My Style challenge and I'm pretty excited about this one. Not only have I completed my third project for this challenge in three months, but it also ticks the boxes for Make Nine 2018 AND Make your stash, so I'm feeling pretty smug. The pattern...

Hi there! Hope everything's good with you? Today I want to share my make for this month's Sew My Style challenge. There were actually two patterns to pick from this month: the By Hand London Rumana coat and the Style Arc Estelle. The Rumana is a thing of beauty, the perfect classic tailored coat. Obviously...

Hi there! I thought it might be interesting to start doing a monthly round up post on the blog. There are two main reasons for this; firstly, I'm getting to the point where I don't blog absolutely everything I make. This has been the case for a while now, but I find I'd quite like...

Hi there! Today is reveal day for month one of the #sewmystyle2018 challenge and I have indeed managed to make the stated garment this month. I need to apologise for not having many photos; this is purely because I intended to take them today and then have spent nearly all day in bed with a... Continue Reading →
