Hello! Hope things are good with you? I seem to be on a bit of a blogging roll at the moment, possibly because my stress levels are through the roof so I'm sewing like a mad woman! This one is actually slightly delayed as I've been trying to get nice, sunny outside photos. Yeah, gave... Continue Reading →
Hello! Me again! Just for once I have ten minutes to throw a blog post together very shortly after completing a make: the children are at gymnastics and the house is in such a state that I don't know where to start. So I'm not going to; instead I've nipped out into the sunshine, grabbed... Continue Reading →
Hello! So with this post, I'm playing catchup (again!) Sorry about this, it seems that I'm sewing faster than I'm writing just at the moment. Part of that is that the sewing tackles stress for me far more efficiently than does the writing, and right now there's a fair amount of stress to tackle! Also,... Continue Reading →
Hello! How's things? I'm trying desperately to catch up on blogging some of the things I've been making of late when too tired to actually sew without error ( or when I can't be bothered to set the machine up on the kitchen table!) and post PTA meeting tonight (yes, it seems I'm one of...

Hello! How are things going for you? Hope you've enjoyed the Bank Holiday week end (preferably with slightly better weather than we've had here) I seem to have built up rather the backlog of sewing projects to blog about at the moment. This is largely because I'm feeling a lot of pressure to sew as fast... Continue Reading →
Hi there! Hope things are going well for you? Sorry it's been a little quiet here, I've been spending my free time attempting to sort out and log my fabric stash rather than sewing it blogging. This stemmed from a sneaking suspicion that I might have bought a little more fabric than I thought and... Continue Reading →
A really strange thing happened this week. I made a summer dress. And the day I finished it, the sun shone and I was able to wear it without requiring three vests and a cardigan! OK, there were thick black tights, but that was just to prevent the glare from my pasty white legs from... Continue Reading →
I really like the way that lots of independent pattern companies use names instead of numbers, don't you? Although I am one of those people who just remembers numbers (sorry, maths geek, somehow they just stick) it seems to give a garment rather more personality when it has a name. I particularly like the names... Continue Reading →
Hello! Hope things are going well for you? I've got a touch of the Sunday night blues: I've just had a week off to look after my elder daughter for the second half of the school holidays, and it's the first time in a long time I've had both children on my own for a... Continue Reading →
Hello! Hope all is well in your corner of the world. Today's post is about my most recent make and the title kind of gives the game away: all did not go according to plan! Do you ever feel like some makes have it in for you? This one was one of those. It started... Continue Reading →
