I am ridiculously excited to show you my brand new ultimate comfort tracksuit…. and it’s YELLOW! Honestly, this outfit is so incredibly comfy… I am in love. This make was a case of seeing the fabric first, then matching it with patterns for the top and bottoms. As you have probably guessed, I am a big fan of all things yellow. And what I love about this sweatshirting is that the colour isn’t too ‘in your face’. It is a beautiful soft colour, with a marl look to it too. And it is fleece-backed, so really warm and cosy. I bought this fabric from Backstitch (disclaimer – I work there, and bought ..read more

Ad/contains gifted pattern (with no obligation to share) Hello sewists! I’m unbelievably excited to be publishing a brand spanking new make to the blog today. It’s been so nice to have a little bit of time to sew in the last week. I’ve seriously needed the little bit of time to myself to zone out and be creative. I was over the moon to be sent the latest pattern by Tilly and the Buttons, Pearl. She is a lovely little cropped wrap cardigan with 3 different sleeve options. Upon seeing the photos of this pattern, I had immediate flashbacks to being 6 years old at ballet class! And there was real ..read more

So I’m back again blogging again another make in the same week… who even am I?! This is a lovely blouse which I made quite a few months back. I seem to recall that it was the sleeves on this which really called out to me. I’m a sucker for a big billow-ey sleeve! I also loved how this would be a breastfeeding-friendly pattern too, with a simple buttoned placket. The construction was all nice and straightforward, and I remember loving how quickly it came together. I guess when you set out on sewing yourself a blouse, you start to prepare yourself early on for some serious collar work. But the b ..read more

Well well well…. I’m back! After nearly 2 years away from blogging… and what a time it has been. For those who don’t follow me on social media, I have had a bit of a rough old time with our littlest boy, Arlo, being diagnosed with a number of complex medical conditions. We have been in and out of hospital. And riding the waves of a pandemic at the same time. I just cannot believe how the past 2 years has panned out. So my time has been spent focusing entirely on my little boys. And it has taken until now for me to start to think about having some time to myself again. Yippee! So I have quite t ..read more

Hi folks, hope you’re all safe and well? Strange times we’re living in right now, that’s for sure. While I’m self-isolating at home, I thought I’d share with you this latest make. I made this back in February for a guest blog post with Brother Sewing UK (disclaimer – I provide Brother with guest blog posts, in exchange for loan of a sewing machine and coverstitch machine). If you wanted to check out the full post, it’s available here. So I thought I’d drop on here with the photos of this make to show you all. It’s a Tilly and the Buttons Indigo Dress. I bought this pattern as soon as it was r ..read more

Hi everyone! Long time no speak. I’ve been a little caught up for the last few months… dealing with a combination of moving house AND morning sickness! Yep, all good news to be expecting – and baby Walker no 2 is due in June. Exciting times! But safe to say that I definitely wouldn’t recommend moving house when struggling with morning sickness! So I haven’t exactly had the luxury of time to be able to sew lately. Though, I have been having fun setting up my new sewing room in the new house (full photos to come soon in another blog post!). But just now been able to start dabbling in a bit of s ..read more

Well, I’ve been up to a little bit of sewing! It’s been so tough to find time to myself to sew lately – a combination of the admin of about to move house, and a toddler who has been fighting sleep. Not ideal! Anyway, I’ve managed to steal lots of snippets of time here and there to sew this. And I’m so pleased to A) Finally finish it, and; B) Show it to you all! This is a By Hand London Jenna Dress. As soon as this pattern dropped, I immediately added to the sewing list. It was one of those which I fell in love with, and attached to instantly. But it’s taken a while for me to get round to find ..read more
