I can’t really believe it’s been almost 2 years since I made my previous Bella Loves Patterns Traveller Coat! I decided I wanted another coat in the rotation, and when I saw this fabric on the Fabrics Galore website I knew I had to snap some up – over the Summer! It was also priced ..read more

I’ve actually only sewn one thing in the last couple of months, but I sewed so much earlier in the year that I’ve got enough posts to last a couple of months! Without further ado, here is – try to contain your surprise – another Archer shirt. This is the last shirt I made in ..read more

I finally got around to making another Helen’s Closet Gilbert (having made 2 versions so far: one, two) though sadly given our pretty cold Summer this year, I only got to wear it once or twice. Fingers crossed for next year! I made my usual size 8, which is 2 sizes above my measurements, as ..read more

Another day, another batch of Jacksons! My love affair with Helen’s Closet Patterns continues unabated! Sorry (not sorry) if you’re bored of seeing Jacksons and shirts – you may as well stop reading my blog for the next couple of months to be honest if you don’t want to see either of them as that’s ..read more

Last year my sister recommended I watch Extraordinary Attorney Woo and when I finally did, I loved it. And it opened the door (and the Netflix algorithm) to a whole world of new dramas. Somewhere along the line I watched Tale of the Nine Tailed and then watched all of Lee Dong Wook’s series I ..read more

I while ago I knitted a chunky mustard yellow hat. I had some yarn left over from my chartreuse/mustard yellow jumper so used the spare ball to make another hat. Funnily enough I made the first one in January 2021 and this one in January this year. I guess January is a time when I ..read more

Today I am bringing you more Jacksons! I’ve made a few – some as sweatshirts and others as tees. Today it’s more tees. And I have to warn you, just as with my shirt sewing, these are only the first of more than a few Jacksons which will be slowly wending their way towards this ..read more

As I’m pretty sure I mentioned in my post about my bubblegum pink Monet Tank, I ordered 2 lots of wool at the same time, so – ta da! The details are all the same as the other one – the pattern is by Wool and the Gang and it uses their crazy sexy wool ..read more
