Hello! It's my #ToolThursday weekly review post and this week I have tried out Vlieseline Waistshaper interfacing. It is basically a strip of interfacing with perforated lines to guide where you press/sew in order to create a perfect waistband without any pattern pieces.

click here Oh man, this fabric and I have been through the ringer! I actually cut out pieces of another pattern before I realised it wasn't going to fit me!! Fortunately, the Chalk and Notch Fringe Dress came to my rescue and I LOVE the finished dress! For all the grizzly details in the disaster…

I just wanted to pop on ye olde blog quickly to signpost you to this month's Minerva Blogger Network post. I made these green Heyday Dungarees with button hack and I am really happy with them. If you want to read the full blog post you can read all about it here. I will be…
Okay, I've got something a little bit different for you today. It's not *technically* a sewing tool but I think it fits really well with sustainable sewing, slow fashion and generally being an environmentally conscious consumer. I read somewhere recently (think it was Fashion Revolution) that the most sustainable garment in the world is the…
I'm so excited to finally share this pinafore with you. I've been wearing it LOADS! It goes with loads of stuff in my wardrobe and I've been wearing it constantly, layered up on cold days and like this on warm days. It is, of course, the Pippi Pinafore from Jennifer Lauren. I absolutely fell in…
