Hi there! Happy New Year! Here's hoping that this shiny new year brings better things for all of us. I've decided to take part in the #2018MakeNine challenge, where you identify 9 patterns which you'd like to make in the coming year. This is despite the slightly mixed success of the #2017MakeNine challenge; I chose... Continue Reading →
Hi there! So, like I said, I have actually been sewing lots, it's simply been a case of not having time to blog. I'm forcing myself to stop for a night or two and write some posts to show some of the things I've been doing, and this is one that has been on the... Continue Reading →
Morning! Hope you're enjoying this unseasonable warm weather; I've just got back from dragging myself and the girls to Junior Parkrun so am obviously tucking in to a cafe latte and a chocolate chip cookie bigger than my head.....

Hi there! Today sees my latest make for the Minerva Crafts Blogger Network (and the reason that I've been a little quiet on here of late - this one was time consuming!) I've finally made the Carolyn pyjamas by Closet Case Patterns, and whilst they took some doing, I'm so pleased with myself for managing... Continue Reading →
Hello! How are things going in your world at the moment? Hope all's good. Today's post is one I've been wanting to write for a while, but one of the items is this month's Minerva Crafts Blogger Network make, so I've been waiting for that post to be published. However, as I've been wearing it... Continue Reading →
Hi there! Hope all is well in your world? So what's going on here, two posts in two days? I know, but I wanted to get this one blogged before the end of the month as it ticks boxes for a few different challenges. This is one of my latest makes and I've been wearing... Continue Reading →
Hi there! Hope you're OK and dealing with Blue Monday? If you follow me on Instagram, you'll see that I seem to have managed to get myself signed up to a couple of sewing challenges this year. I'm in two minds as to whether this is a good thing or not. Generally, I'm in favour... Continue Reading →
