So look. I realise that there have been very few blog posts for a while here. And then, like buses, there's a whole bunch at once. What can I say? That's just the way it goes (and one of the reasons I have never wanted to look into monetising this blog: I write when I... Continue Reading →
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 →
We’re baaaaaack! So, as we announced on Instagram a little while ago, Sally and I are all geared up for the next round of Sew Up North! We, and hopefully some of you, will be hitting the coffee (and cake) shops of Leeds, probably buying lots of fabric and charity raffling our hearts on September... 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 →
How's it going with you? I'm kind of forcing myself to write this blog, because I really just want to sew right now, I'm so full of inspiration! I spent the last two days at a new sewing event, The Stitch Room Sewcial. This was organised by Anne (@new_vintage_sewing) and Lucy (@sewessentialuk) and held at... Continue Reading →
Forgive the title, people, I wasn't feeling very original this afternoon! My post today is about this month's Minerva Crafts Blogger Network project. This one is not the most exciting, glamorous make in the world but I think it's going to be a really useful addition to my wardrobe. I chose to make the Grainline... 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...

Hi there! Hope you're enjoying some sunshine where you are today? I'm doing a kind of double post this morning, to illustrate why you shouldn't always judge a pattern by its cover! As you may have noticed, I've been taking part in the Sew My Style challenge this year, which takes a different pattern each... Continue Reading →
Hi there! A slightly late post this week (although there's a chance I may not have properly published last week's post until about 5 minutes ago....😳) but here's my round up of week 3 of Me Made May. This week has been really busy: work is full on, I've had meetings at school outside of... Continue Reading →
Hi there! Slightly later than usual this month (due to my getting muddled!), my latest blog post for Minerva Crafts is now live. This month I was lucky enough to get some of this lovely, leaf print scuba to play with. I combined it with the Pauline Alice Aldaia dress to make what feels like... Continue Reading →
