Hi everyone! Sorry for the delay in posting about my Klum House Fremont Tote. I had hoped to get this written last week but I have totally underestimated the amount of free time I have with a newborn. Turns out this little guy takes up 99% of my time (the other 1% is spent worrying…… Continue reading The Fremont Tote by Klum House
It’s October and for #SewMyStyle2018 that means that it is Bag Month! I’ve been looking forward to this month all year as it’s my first time taking the reins and I’ve been looking forward to getting my teeth into an inspo blog post. This month, participants have the choice to make the Portsmith Tote and/or…… Continue reading Klum House Portsmith & Fremont Tote Inspo Post
First things first, I’m declaring my absolute love for this pattern! Oh my god what a fabulous pattern it is – everyone should make some sort of version of the Halifax Hoodie by Hey June patterns. If you haven’t already, get onto it! The Halifax Hoodie was this month’s pattern for #SewMyStyle2018 and I was…… Continue reading August #SewMyStyle2018 Halifax Hoodie by Hey June
Hello again! I’ve been putting off writing this blog post for a while. I’m sitting in the hospital waiting room with a bunch of other hot, pregnant women and thought I’ll just bite the bullet and make a start! This is the first time this year with any of the #sewmystyle2018 patterns that I haven’t…… Continue reading July #SewMyStyle2018 Forsythe Shorts by Blank Slate
It’s July! Well, technically it’s nearly the end of July but sure when I have ever been on time with/for anything?? My poor other half is driven demented with my timing skills (or lack of) sometimes. So we are in the month of July and that means that we are halfway through this years #SewMyStyle2018…… Continue reading #SewMyStyle2018 Half Way There!
I think like most people, I wanted to make a Suki cover-up rather than the dressing gown for this months #SewMyStyle2018. The dressing gown looks gorgeous however, I’m not a big dressing gown kind of person so I wouldn’t get much wear out of it. Also, I’m still trying really hard to make from my…… Continue reading June #SewMyStyle2018 Suki Kimono by Helen’s Closet
There was great excitement over at Team #sewmystyle2018 about the new Deer and Doe release. To have an unreleased pattern take part in #sewmystyle2018 was very exciting and also very intriguing for all the participants! To be honest, my first impression of the Myosotis was quite an underwhelming one, for sure. I was slightly reminded…… Continue reading May #SewMyStyle2018 Myosotis by Deer and Doe
Throughout April I’ve seen some really creative Marigold jumpsuits popping up all over Instagram. One of my favourites has been, without a doubt, my fellow #SewMyStyle2018 leader Like Sew Amazing’s Marigold Culottes hack. Sarah drafted her own culottes and completely changed the whole look of the Marigold jumpsuit. She has also just launched her own…… Continue reading April #SewMyStyle2018 Marigold Maternity Hack by Tilly and the Buttons
After February’s tough challenge of the Rumana Coat, the Kalle shirt/shirtdress was anticipated by pretty much everyone. It is such a popular pattern and I can see why. It was such a joy to sew and the sewalong is fantastic for those who need a bit of guidance. It is a great pattern for an…… Continue reading March #SewMyStyle2018 Kalle Shirt by Closet Case Patterns
So this is the long awaited Rumana Coat from By Hand London – Ta Daaa! This also happens to be the chosen pattern for February’s #sewmystyle2018 which I realise I am (rather) late in blogging about. I was deliberating over what exactly to write about this month’s pattern as I have absolutely nothing different or…… Continue reading February #SewMyStyle2018 Rumana Coat by By Hand London
