This is the point at which we move from virtual blog silence to holiday sewing overload. Apologies in advance to those who like their blog updates in a regular, evenly spaced stream: I'm afraid I just don't work like that! Today's update from sunny (33 degrees) Cyprus is, after all, the perfect summer top. You... Continue Reading →
I don't know about you, but it seems that every year now, I hit a stage of panic sewing around a month before my holidays. It always, always creeps up on me, together with the realisation that I cannot possibly complete my mental holiday wardrobe anything like in time. This week so far, in a... Continue Reading →
Morning everyone! Today sees the publication of my latest Minerva Blogger Network post. I got some glorious magnolia print rayon from them with plans to make the Fumeterre skirt by Deer and Doe. This was partly because I'm a huge D&D fan girl (not dungeons and dragons, obvs!) and partly because I've seen loads of... Continue Reading →
Hi there! Hope you're finally enjoying some sun again where you are? It's been a wretched week here but the sun is finally peeping out again and I'm hoping it holds for the school sports day tomorrow! Have you come across the Petite Passions blog and this year's wardrobe builder challenge? I have honestly been... Continue Reading →
Hi there! Well, it's been rather busy around here of late, hasn't it? I seem to suddenly be blogging several times a week; I can't promise it'll continue and if you're getting update emails, I hope they aren't clogging up your inboxes! Sorry though, but I can't wait to share my latest make with you.... Continue Reading →
I know the title of this looks very random, but it stems from my husband's seeming inability to use the word "kimono" instead of "komodo". He's now given in and started referring to my latest make as a dragon top and it's stuck! I mentioned previously that I'd joined the Sew Over It pdf club... Continue Reading →
Hi there! Today's make is one I'm both proud of and slightly sheepish about. I'm sheepish because this has been on the to sew list, complete with fabric choice, for several months now. This is getting to be more frequent because I just have SO MANY things I want to make and have supplies for.... Continue Reading →
I don't know about you but, much as I enjoy shopping, I really do like to feel like I've made something for a bargain price. Or even for nothing. This make falls into the "almost free" category. Absolutely the only thing I went specifically to the shops for was a set of 6 buttons. So... Continue Reading →
Hi there! Hope you're enjoying the spring sunshine which finally seems to have arrived in the UK; my pasty skin is reeling in shock at so much brightness! I don't know about you, but there are times when my sew jo ebbs and flows. I wrote about how my Nancy dress was just what I needed after... Continue Reading →
Hi there! Hope you've had as much glorious sun wherever you are today as we have; it suddenly seems to be spring! I wanted to share an extremely plain make with you today; unusually for me, I made a wardrobe basic which will probably get loads of wear! A couple of weeks ago, I went... Continue Reading →
