I didn’t stop sewing altogether during…… Continue reading Grainline Studio Linden Sweatshirt

The first and most exciting thing I’ve…… Continue reading Woodland Dopp Kit by Klum House
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.

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.

Hello Everyone! My lovely friend Joann of Pipe Dream Patterns kindly asked me to pattern test her very first pattern My Sew Called Sweater. I was of course extremely delighted and flattered.

Hello everyone! I finally managed to get my butt into gear and make June’s #sewmystyle (a couple of weeks late) which is the Megan Neilsen Briar t-shirt. Pat on the back for blogging about it in record time 🙂 Again, like the Megan Neilsen Virginia Leggings , it wouldn’t have been a pattern I would have picked to sew for myself.…… Continue reading Megan Nielsen Briar T-Shirt
