I know the title of this looks very random, but it stems from my husband's seeming inability to use the word "kimono" instead of "komodo". He's now given in and started referring to my latest make as a dragon top and it's stuck! I mentioned previously that I'd joined the Sew Over It pdf club... 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! Hope you're OK and dealing with Blue Monday? If you follow me on Instagram, you'll see that I seem to have managed to get myself signed up to a couple of sewing challenges this year. I'm in two minds as to whether this is a good thing or not. Generally, I'm in favour... 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! 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 →
This post is hopefully a very quick one and for once, it's not about dressmaking! Our very dear friends have recently had their third baby (the idea of being responsible for 3 little ones makes me want to run and hide so I think they deserve a medal!) I wanted to make something but didn't... Continue Reading →
