Hello lovely readers!
Yesterday as I was heading out the door at golden hour for a stroll with my husband and the boys I realised that I was wearing two of my recent makes and thought – hey, here’s a wacky idea, why not try and take some blog photos!
This is my favourite time of day, the light right before sunset makes everything just a little bit more magical.
This is my liberty print blouse that was inspired by a little Zara smock I bought in the early Spring. I loved the shape so much- especially those frills!-and felt the need to recreate it in some of my all time favourite fabric ..read more

Hello lovely readers,
I have missed you!!
As you may well have gathered I have not been too successful at updating this blog now that I am a full time mummy to baby Jack! That is not to say that I am not still busy with lots of sewing and knitting and other crafty endeavours. I decided recently that it may be easier to make little videos to share the things I have been making and so I started The Little Tailoress Podcast. You can find the first episode over on my you tube channel with my sewing tutorial videos.
Here on the blog I will be posting the show notes to go along with each epis ..read more

Happy new year everyone! I hope you all enjoyed seeing the new year in? We stayed at home and drank babycham and I was asleep before midnight! It was lovely!
I’m writing this post sat in the hairdresser waiting for my colour to come off! Having a baby seems to have made me far more thrifty with my time, hehe! Jack still feeds every two hours so my days have become very structured.
I took these photos a couple of weeks ago and crocheted the little boots a couple of months before Jack was born. The pattern was one I found on Etsy by The Lovely Crow and fell immediately in love with.

Merry Christmas to all of you lovely readers!
This one has kind of crept up a little on me, perhaps due to a certain little chap keeping me extra busy! I have managed to squeeze in making a few homemade gifts, a couple of little makeup bags and eye-masks that I love making and a teeny teddy for my niece from a little pattern I got from the American museum in Bath. I also spent an evening with an school friend making pine cone garlands and giggling over champagne which was lovely and festive. The fact that I never got around to hanging said garlands properly and just have them h ..read more

Happy nearly Christmas everyone, hope you’re all feeling nice and festive! I have two makes to share with you today both of which I have been wearing quite a bit recently.
Despite the unseasonably mild weather we have been having recently one of these is a woolly beanie hat I knitted a wihle ago from the Kim Hargreaves book: Still. The hat is called Mist and is knitted with Rowan Kid Classic and Rowan Kidsilk Haze yarn held together and knitted as one on 4.5mm knitting needles. I chose to knit it with both yarns in grey but with the kidsilk haze that has a slight shimmer to it, because i ..read more

So, late October obviously means one thing… an obligatory trip to the pumpkin patch! And now that we have our very own little Jack-O-Lantern I thought I should knit him something special for the occasion I found a super pattern for this pumpkin hat on Etsy. It’s knitted in aran weight yarn but I managed to create the same gauge using rialto 4 ply doubled as I found it in a very good ‘pumpkin shade’.
Little Jack seemed VERY excited about the trip as you can see
Unfortunately as with any outing at the moment that involves the car and/or the pram, baby Jack slept all the way through it! At lea ..read more
