Hi there! Today I want to share with you one of those fabulous projects where the reality is every bit as good as you hoped it might be; and how often does that really happen? I have had the Burnside Bibs on my mental radar for well over a year now. There are so many... Continue Reading →
My Minerva Make for this month is live on the Minerva Crafts website now. (Full disclosure; the fabric for this make was provided in return for my honest review and photos. All other supplies and opinions are my own.) Every me made deserves a good label This make has been floating around in my head... Continue Reading →
Hi there! Hope all's well with you? It seems once again to have been some time since I blogged. I'd apologise for that, but I've recognised that this blog is a hobby just as much as sewing is and, actually, sometimes I just don't feel like writing. So today, I do feel like writing and...

OK, I admit, the title for this post is a total cliche! But honestly, I'm so chuffed with the make I want to show you today, I couldn't help myself. Vogue 9075 has been on my radar for quite some time now. There are various glorious versions floating about on the internet now (here, here and... Continue Reading →
Hi there! So I'm back from my holidays and feeling very relieved to have got home to some more sensible temperatures, after nearly dying of heat exhaustion in Italy.

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 →
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...
