There are some makes that you throw yourself at with gay abandon. The quick wins, the easy fabrics; I'm looking at you, vast collection of me made sweatshirts.

Hi there! My latest Minerva Crafts Blogger Network post goes live today and I've started early on my spring sewing. I made the Sew Over It Florence dress, maxi length, out of this tropical floral rayon fabric with tiny little hummingbirds all over it. It's bright, but I love it (husband is less keen; in...

Hi there! My latest Minerva Crafts Blogger Network post goes live today and, in a change from my usual selfish sewing, I decided to make something for my children this time around. Clearly that meant making two dresses, rather than selecting a favourite child! They're both at an age where skirts need to twirl and... Continue Reading →
