It's a bit rainy in Yorkshire today so it feels slightly less bonkers to be sharing my new Cambria Duster (last week it was too hot to even talk about outerwear). I made this a couple of months ago (still had pink hair) but I've finally got round to writing it up. The pattern is…
Hi pals! Back to sewing this week! I recently made the Sew House Seven Remy Raglan (max chest measurement 65.5in) out of the scraps leftover from making this Milton Pinafore. I didn't have loads left so I had to make it cropped and I had to cut the back on the fold but I think…
As we're nearing the end of June, I wanted to do a quick round-up of my Me Made May project before I forget all about it! After several years of taking part in Me Made May, and wearing me-made pretty much every day anyway, I found it hard to come up with a new challenge…
This blog post was written for The Avid Seamstress as part of my role in their blogging team, The Avid Makers. I am thrilled to be back on the Avid Seamstress blog with my newest make – The Raglan Dress. I love the style lines and a-line shape of this pattern. I have a dress…
My apologies that this post is a little image-heavy, I am so happy with this photoshoot! It just screams Spring and I am absolutely delighted with those vibrant Daffodils in the background! Did you know that the Narcissus flower is the flower of the Greek underworld? It was the flower Persephone was picking when she…
The spring weather is here! When this fabric arrived I definitely knew it would get so much wear in spring! The florals are so beautiful and the colours so pretty. The pattern I have used is the Anna Allen Anthea Blouse which you may remember I have made before and I think it is perfect…
I ordered this New Look 6678 pattern to join in with Minerva's #SewnWithNewLook challenge in January. I love the square neck, the puff sleeves and the button front - I've been looking for this exact pattern for a while and had completely overlooked New Look as it is not a brand I have ever used before. The…
You know I love a free pattern and this is no exception! It is the free Litmus Cowl pattern by Jude Harper who is the incredible indie dyer behind Stranded Dyeworks - it is available to download for free on Ravelry (but I can't find it anywhere else so if Ravelry isn't safe for you,…
A couple of weeks ago the yarn I used for this sweater went on sale, it was a good price so I decided I wanted to share the link with my followers. To show what it looks like knitted up, I went in search of pictures of my finished sweater. Much to my surprise, I…
This was supposed to be a toile but I've fallen in love - isn't that always the way? You probably recognise this pattern as the insta-famous Anna Allen Anthea Blouse (pattern fits 31in - 48in bust). This pattern comes with two views - a blouse and a dress. It's a dartless button-up top with puffed…
