Hi there! How's life? Hope all's going well. So I wanted to talk today about multiple makes. It's a slightly longer post, but it does cover 7 garments in one sitting, so bear with me! As the weather's got cooler, I've found myself in need of good wardrobe basics, particularly given my weight loss since... Continue Reading →
Hi there! How's your week going? I'm writing this at home, snuggled up on the sofa, feeling like hell with this flu bug that's going around. Which has meant zero sewing this week. Which is pants. But it does give me a chance to catch up a little on the blog, so long as I... Continue Reading →
Hi! How's life going for you this week? I'm having a rather mixed week: all sorts going on making life hard away from the sewing machine. But good things going on with the sewing, which helps balance things out. Two really exciting things happened very close together: firstly, I won a sewing machine in the... Continue Reading →
Hi there! I thought it was about time I talked about a couple of my makes which I'm deeming to be failures, although for different reasons. So, what's it mean to me for a make to be a failure? Basically, it means I haven't worn it when I meant to. As I'm sure you've noticed... Continue Reading →
Hi there! I've another summer dress post for you today: my excuse is that, despite today starting off gloomy and grey, I was practically melting by tea time, so it must still be summer! Let's talk about By Hand London's Kim dress. To start with: it's totally outside my usual style but I love this... Continue Reading →
Hi there! Hope your week's going well? So if it looks like I'm suddenly piling in with the blog posts, you'd be right; I'm trying to get the last of my summer makes on here before the snow reaches to nose height outside! You may find there is a little blogging flurry and then something... Continue Reading →
Hello! How's things? Work traumas this week have meant things have felt pretty down here; so what's a girl to do? Abandon the logical, almost completed cataloguing and organising of the fabric stash and tackle a brand new pattern, of course! The pattern in question is the Hey June Biscayne blouse and here's a little spoiler: I... Continue Reading →
Hello! It has dawned on me that it's now a year since I started carving out my own little corner of the Blogosphere here at Red W Sews. I should really be writing a post about that, but it may have to wait for quieter times! For today, just in case anyone has missed it,... Continue Reading →
Hi there! Hope all's well in your world? I'm drafting this on holiday so, other than being slightly over-Disneyed at this point, all's well. The makes I wanted to show you today have been rather slow burners. Which is odd, as the pattern in question has been on my personal radar for quite some time,... Continue Reading →
Hello! Sorry it's been rather quiet around here of late, I'm afraid every spare second has been taken up with emergency stitching rather than blogging. We are now on T minus 12 before Disney happens, there's a wedding to attend next weekend (nearly finished that dress!) and this weekend we are enjoying the sun at... Continue Reading →
