Hi there! So this post was actually written quite a while ago, but was written for Minerva so the date of publishing was down to them. There's been a continuing theme around here for some time of learning to properly fit trousers to my obviously slightly unusual shape. This make was one I think of... Continue Reading →
Hi there! It's time to share my latest Minerva Crafts Blogger Network post with you. This one is a little special because I had the photos taken at the Stitch Room Sewcial. It was rather strange having professional photos taken of a make, especially since I normally just take my own shots with a tripod... Continue Reading →
So look. I realise that there have been very few blog posts for a while here. And then, like buses, there's a whole bunch at once. What can I say? That's just the way it goes (and one of the reasons I have never wanted to look into monetising this blog: I write when I... Continue Reading →
Hi there! In previous years, as the weather's turned warmer, I have found myself mass producing sleeveless tops and pretty dresses to suplement my ready to wear clothes and give my wardrobe a boost. This year, despite there being some tops on the radar (and a couple in the wardrobe. And at least one directly... Continue Reading →
Hi there! So once again it's been a bit quiet on the old blog. There has been a fair amount of sewing going on (as you'd know if I'd kept up with the monthly round up posts) but I've been struggling with migraines again which has made coping with a screen rather painful to say... Continue Reading →

This one is not the most exciting, glamorous make in the world but I think it's going to be a really useful addition to my wardrobe. I chose to make the Grainline... Continue Reading →
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! Slightly later than usual this month (due to my getting muddled!), my latest blog post for Minerva Crafts is now live. This month I was lucky enough to get some of this lovely, leaf print scuba to play with. I combined it with the Pauline Alice Aldaia dress to make what feels like... Continue Reading →
Hi there! So it seems we’re almost half way through May already and I have no idea where the time’s going! Life’s been incredibly busy both in and out of work, but I thought I’d try and do a quick catch up on my second week of Me Made May this year. What a difference... Continue Reading →
