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! And happy Christmas! Hope you're all prepared for the big day tomorrow? For once, I'm feeling relatively calm; the kids finished school 3 days after I finished work so I actually had time for a little Christmas shopping and gift wrapping that didn't need doing at the speed of light in the wee...

Hi there! How's your December going? Are you feeling festive, brimming with mulled wine and mince pies? Or do you, perchance, have primary school age children and are therefore drowning under the requirement to send party food, nativity costumes, cards, gifts, christmas jumpers and god only knows what else for each child on different days?...

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 →
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 →

Since finishing my coat, I've felt the need for a few quick and easy makes to... Continue Reading →
OK folks, sorry about the slight blog lull there, we got back from holiday at 3am on Sunday morning, thus totally negating all relaxing vibes from the break and I've been functioning on auto pilot ever since! I've also been sewing like a mad thing, but on a project I can't share with you just... Continue Reading →
Hi there! Today's holiday blog will be shorter and sweeter than usual, purely because this is now my 5th version of this top! Yes, it's the Datura again! But I thought it was worth mentioning as I did make a few change to this one that make it, in my opinion, even more perfect as... Continue Reading →
Hi there! It's time for another summer holiday dress, but this time it's a Tribute Month make. The Sewcialists Tribute Month is all about taking inspiration from another person who sews and communicates about it online. My first post this month was taking general style inspiration, from Shauni, and making a culottes jumpsuit. This one,... Continue Reading →
Hi there! So, following my previous post all about the Sallie jumpsuit, I thought I'd share my first version of the pattern with you; the maxi dress. I'd been wondering about a jersey maxi for a while as I've one from Oasis from a couple of years back which I always reach for to look... Continue Reading →
