Hi there! Hope all's well in your bit of the world? Today's post is a pretty quick one; I probably wouldn't even bother sharing this now except for the very lovely fabric involved! I was lucky enough to get free tickets for the Knitting and Stitching Show in Harrogate in November. I've managed this one... Continue Reading →
Hi there! I've been doing a little research for today's post to discover the name for a group of zebras; did you know it was a dazzle? What an appropriate name for a collection of me mades! My latest post for Minerva Crafts is about my second version of the I Am Patterns Zebre top. ... Continue Reading →
Hi there! Happy New Year! Here's hoping that this shiny new year brings better things for all of us. I've decided to take part in the #2018MakeNine challenge, where you identify 9 patterns which you'd like to make in the coming year.

I was contacted a while ago by the lovely Ana of Cocowawa Crafts to see whether I'd be interested in pattern testing her... Continue Reading →
Hi there! I thought I'd sneak in another little TNT post for the Sewcialists TNT month. I've been doing a lot of sewing of late but, because I'm very short on time at the moment but still want new winter things, it's all been about the tried and tested patterns, which is less exciting to...

Hello there! I've something slightly different for you today. I was lucky enough to get to review some mermaid sequin fabric by Minerva Crafts. You might not know what it's called, but I'm confident you've seen it around: it's made of sequins which are a different colour on each side. These are then attached to... Continue Reading →
Hi there! So, like I said, I have actually been sewing lots, it's simply been a case of not having time to blog. I'm forcing myself to stop for a night or two and write some posts to show some of the things I've been doing, and this is one that has been on the... Continue Reading →
