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..... Since finishing my coat, I've felt the need for a few quick and easy makes to... Continue Reading →
Hi there! My latest Minerva Crafts Blogger Network post goes live today and, in a change from my usual selfish sewing, I decided to make something for my children this time around. Clearly that meant making two dresses, rather than selecting a favourite child! They're both at an age where skirts need to twirl and... Continue Reading →
Hi there! So this is a slightly delayed summer makes blog post, but I was lucky enough to receive some viscose from Minerva Crafts to review and I've been waiting for them to publish so I could share my makes.

I've also been sewing like a mad thing, but on a project I can't share with you just... Continue Reading →

But I thought it was worth mentioning as I did make a few change to this one that make it, in my opinion, even more perfect as... Continue Reading →
Hi there! It's time for another summer holiday dress, but this time it's a Tribute Month make. The Sewcialists Tribute Month is all about taking inspiration from another person who sews and communicates about it online. My first post this month was taking general style inspiration, from Shauni, and making a culottes jumpsuit. This one,... Continue Reading →
Hi there! So, following my previous post all about the Sallie jumpsuit, I thought I'd share my first version of the pattern with you; the maxi dress. I'd been wondering about a jersey maxi for a while as I've one from Oasis from a couple of years back which I always reach for to look... Continue Reading →
Hi all! So this post continues with my holiday makes but it's one that is a country mile outside of my normal comfort zone and I love it! You may have seen my post for the Sewcialists blog last month, telling you all about Tribute Month, which challenges you to make something inspired by (or... Continue Reading →
