Hi there! I've another summer dress post for you today: my excuse is that, despite today starting off gloomy and grey, I was practically melting by tea time, so it must still be summer! Let's talk about By Hand London's Kim dress. To start with: it's totally outside my usual style but I love this... Continue Reading →
Hi there! Hope your week's going well? So if it looks like I'm suddenly piling in with the blog posts, you'd be right; I'm trying to get the last of my summer makes on here before the snow reaches to nose height outside! You may find there is a little blogging flurry and then something... Continue Reading →
Hello! How's things? Work traumas this week have meant things have felt pretty down here; so what's a girl to do? Abandon the logical, almost completed cataloguing and organising of the fabric stash and tackle a brand new pattern, of course! The pattern in question is the Hey June Biscayne blouse and here's a little spoiler: I... Continue Reading →
Hello! Hope your week's going well? This is another catch up post on my pre holiday sewing (I really did sew like a mad thing!) but it's also about a couple of makes for my girls rather than for me. I don't know whether you ever sew for young girls, but when you start looking... Continue Reading →
Hello! I've another catch up post for you today, so I'm afraid if you follow me on Instagram you may already have seen some of these photos. Sorry not sorry, I love these makes! So a few weeks ago, my colleagues and I from Halifax trailed down to London for one of those lovely corporate... Continue Reading →
Hi there! Hope all's well in your world? I'm drafting this on holiday so, other than being slightly over-Disneyed at this point, all's well. The makes I wanted to show you today have been rather slow burners. Which is odd, as the pattern in question has been on my personal radar for quite some time,... Continue Reading →
Hello! Sorry it's been rather quiet around here of late, I'm afraid every spare second has been taken up with emergency stitching rather than blogging. We are now on T minus 12 before Disney happens, there's a wedding to attend next weekend (nearly finished that dress!) and this weekend we are enjoying the sun at... Continue Reading →
Hello! Hope things are good with you? I seem to be on a bit of a blogging roll at the moment, possibly because my stress levels are through the roof so I'm sewing like a mad woman! This one is actually slightly delayed as I've been trying to get nice, sunny outside photos. Yeah, gave... Continue Reading →
Hello! Me again! Just for once I have ten minutes to throw a blog post together very shortly after completing a make: the children are at gymnastics and the house is in such a state that I don't know where to start. So I'm not going to; instead I've nipped out into the sunshine, grabbed... Continue Reading →
Hello! So with this post, I'm playing catchup (again!) Sorry about this, it seems that I'm sewing faster than I'm writing just at the moment. Part of that is that the sewing tackles stress for me far more efficiently than does the writing, and right now there's a fair amount of stress to tackle! Also,... Continue Reading →
