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 →
Hello! Hope the world's being kind to you? Sorry about the slight pause in blogging there, we've been dragging ourselves to the end of the current school term and the Easter holidays finally kicked in last night. I am still not sure why my daughter's school terms reflect on us, but am starting to accept... Continue Reading →
My mum is amazing. I don't say that often enough for everything she does, but she is pretty incredible. She's also something of a wonderful dressmaker, up to and including making her own wedding dress, 2 of my aunts' wedding dresses, all my bridesmaids' dresses and still never letting me forget that I bought my...

Hello! How's your week going? Things have been hectic round here but sewing and also shopping has been happening too!

The last couple of days have been particularly chilled, involving a lot of playing with... Continue Reading →
Hi! How's the festive season treating you so far? Hope it's going smoothly with not too much stress. I've managed to grab some time off this weekend (thanks Mum!) so have squeezed in some sewing on my Christmas dress. There's a chance now it will be finished by Christmas Day - hurrah! However today's post... Continue Reading →
Hello! So I've finally done it - I've stuck to my good intentions and made the same pattern twice in a row to perfect the fit! And I've continued my quest to improve my skills with stretch fabrics - go me! Let's rewind a little, shall we? I've been admiring the Grainline Linden since it popped... Continue Reading →
Anyone who knows me will tell you I'm a bookworm. Always have been, always will be. Handbags are chosen on their ability to carry purse, umbrella, brush and book at all times, lunchtime at work (all 30 minutes of it) involves eating whilst reading and getting to sleep without reading.....just not possible. Which means that... Continue Reading →
This week has been a hell of a week. Which on the face of it is weird, as I've been off work on holiday for a fortnight so theoretically, I should be extremely chilled out right now. But. The reason I'm off work is my biggest little girl started school last week (part time at... Continue Reading →
