Hi there! So yes, I am having a little bit of a blog post catch up session; I've not blogged for weeks but that is partly because a lot of what I've been making has been repeats to fill out my autumn wardrobe a little. However, this month on the Sewcialists website is all about... Continue Reading →
Hi there! Another blog post after much radio silence? That is indeed the case. What's more, it's another jumpsuit (who am I these days, anyway?!) Today sees the publication of my latest Minerva Crafts Blogger Network make. And I chose to do my fourth version of the Closet Case Files "Sallie" jumpsuit. I know, same... Continue Reading →
As regular readers will know, now and again I get the urge to do something for charity. Together with Sally, we've raised around £950 for Yorkshire Air Ambulance across the two Sew Up North events, so sometimes it pays off. I'm fortunate to work for a FTSE100 company that now and again puts its money... Continue Reading →
Hi there! It's been pretty quiet around here of late; apologies for that but somehow, I just haven't been in the mood for blogging. A combination of real life stress, an ever expanding to sew list and, for the last month, a non-functional washing machine has meant I just haven't had spare time or energy... Continue Reading →
Morning! Hope you're enjoying this unseasonable warm weather; I've just got back from dragging myself and the girls to Junior Parkrun so am obviously tucking in to a cafe latte and a chocolate chip cookie bigger than my head..... Since finishing my coat, I've felt the need for a few quick and easy makes to... Continue Reading →
Hi there! My latest Minerva Crafts Blogger Network post goes live today and, in a change from my usual selfish sewing, I decided to make something for my children this time around. Clearly that meant making two dresses, rather than selecting a favourite child! They're both at an age where skirts need to twirl and... Continue Reading →
Hi there! So this is a slightly delayed summer makes blog post, but I was lucky enough to receive some viscose from Minerva Crafts to review and I've been waiting for them to publish so I could share my makes. The product review, which features three of the dresses I made, is here. So why... Continue Reading →
Hi there! If you follow me on Instagram at all, you'll know already what my latest make is as I've been way too excited about it to remove all sign from my account. Yep, I finally tackled the Closet Case Patterns Kelly anorak and I'm totally and utterly in love! This is far and away... Continue Reading →
Hi there! Firstly I'd like to say thank you to everyone who commented on my last post; I was rather overwhelmed by the response to be honest. So many thoughtful, lovely comments here, on Facebook and on Instagram; thank you all so very much. Today, normal service will be resumed with my latest post for... Continue Reading →
Hi everyone, A slightly different post from me this evening, although it's on a topic I have touched on before. If you follow me on Instagram, you'll know that I'm joining in (marginally intermittently) with this year's #sewphotohop. This involves posting a photo each day to a predefined prompt theme, many days being sponsored by... Continue Reading →
