Hi there everyone! It's taken me a little while to write this post; no particular reason, just life deciding to get in the way. But I'm here now, so I thought I'd share the details of the dress I made myself for my 40th birthday dinner. Yes, that number is still smarting little! Anyway, the... Continue Reading →
Hi there! Today, my latest post for the Minerva Crafts Blogger Network goes live. This month I chose to make the Sew Over It Ultimate Trousers (again - they were a very early make for me but it's fair to say they went rather better this time around!) I used the online course to make... Continue Reading →
Hi there! So, are you taking part in Me Made May this year? If you don't know what I'm on about, head on over to Zoe's blog for details. This is my third year of taking part and this year my pledge is to wear a me made item every day for the month and... Continue Reading →
Hi there! Today's make is one I'm both proud of and slightly sheepish about. I'm sheepish because this has been on the to sew list, complete with fabric choice, for several months now. This is getting to be more frequent because I just have SO MANY things I want to make and have supplies for.... Continue Reading →
I don't know about you but, much as I enjoy shopping, I really do like to feel like I've made something for a bargain price. Or even for nothing. This make falls into the "almost free" category. Absolutely the only thing I went specifically to the shops for was a set of 6 buttons. So... Continue Reading →
Hi there! Today sees my latest make for the Minerva Crafts Blogger Network (and the reason that I've been a little quiet on here of late - this one was time consuming!) I've finally made the Carolyn pyjamas by Closet Case Patterns, and whilst they took some doing, I'm so pleased with myself for managing... Continue Reading →
Hi there! Hope you're enjoying the spring sunshine which finally seems to have arrived in the UK; my pasty skin is reeling in shock at so much brightness! I don't know about you, but there are times when my sew jo ebbs and flows. I wrote about how my Nancy dress was just what I needed after... Continue Reading →
Hi there! Hope you've been enjoying the glorious sunshine this weekend, it's been absolutely fabulous here, such a relief after what feels like months and months of grey skies. I fit in a very quick make this weekend and for once, that didn't mean anything made out of jersey. Instead, I made the Sew Over... Continue Reading →
Hi there! Hope you've had as much glorious sun wherever you are today as we have; it suddenly seems to be spring! I wanted to share an extremely plain make with you today; unusually for me, I made a wardrobe basic which will probably get loads of wear! A couple of weeks ago, I went... Continue Reading →
Hello! How are things going in your world at the moment? Hope all's good. Today's post is one I've been wanting to write for a while, but one of the items is this month's Minerva Crafts Blogger Network make, so I've been waiting for that post to be published. However, as I've been wearing it... Continue Reading →
