Happy New Year! I didn’t post at all last year but I hope you all had as good a year as possible. In a lot of ways 2021 felt worse than 2020 to me but I also had some nice things happen. For a start I got married! He’ll still always be the manfriend though I’ve started writing a post all about it and about sewing my outfit but I just seem to add a paragraph every now and then and never finish the blummin’ thing. I’ll try and finish it soon but basically we had a tiny pandemic wedding in our local register office, with just our parents there. Then we came straight home and drank fizz on the sof ..read more

Hey there peeps! Long time no speak. I started writing a catch-up post at the beginning of lockdown here in the UK but I found it so hard to find the right words that it got abandoned. I still don’t know the right words but I’m trying again anyway as I miss writing here. I hope you’re all safe and well. I won’t go into the pandemic much because I’d be in danger of writing an essay. I’m very lucky and haven’t been been affected that badly. I’m lucky to have a job where I can work from home, none of my friends or family have caught Covid and I’m an introvert so staying home hasn’t been too hard ..read more

Howdy folks! I actually have a finished garment post! Gasp! My lack of proper blogging over the last couple of years means that I have a massive backlog of finished projects to share. I asked on Instagram last week if people would like me to blog about the finished garments that I haven’t done a proper blog photo shoot of but have a couple of photos of from Outfit of the Day type photos. And people mostly said yes so I’m going to start trying to get through my backlog. Though today’s post actually has proper photos that I took ages ago but didn’t do anything with. You can tell how old the phot ..read more

2019 in review

As promised I’m here to nerd out at you with my annual (biannual if you include Me Made May) Stat Attack. I made 18 garments in 2019. That’s the least sewing I’ve done (or fewest completed garments at least) since 2015. I think the main reason is that at the beginning of the year I was having a really tough time with my mental health. I had a terrible manager at work and I was really struggling because of him. Fortunately he left in the summer and it made a huge difference. I have a much nicer big boss now (my little boss has always been the same and she’s great) who actually treats his staff ..read more

New Year Catch Up

Happy new year! I hope you’re all well and got to have a nice break over the holiday season. The Manfriend and I had a super long break as we went to Gran Canaria to celebrate his birthday the week before Christmas. It was a lovely, relaxed holiday. Lots of reading in the sunshine and eating nice food. If you follow me on Instagram you may have seen me sharing some handmade holiday outfit snaps on stories. Here they all are, plus a couple of others. We came home on the 22nd and had to hurriedly get all the food shopping done and finish the last bits of present shenanigans before Christmas ..read more

As promised, I’m back with my stat attack post – I’m a little disappointed I didn’t get it finished yesterday so I could make a poor staturday pun but I drank beer with my beloved instead. I regret nothing. Anyway, stats! How did it go? I didn’t make a pledge as such because there was no one to pledge to but I went by my now usual Me Made May rules. Which is that I only have to worry about wearing handmade if I leave the house. I wore handmade on 24 days out the 31 – so that’s my cold days and some lazy weekend days. I’m happy with that and even happier that 78% of my outfits were entirely han ..read more

Hello! Remember me? I’ve been absent for a while because my mental health has been in the toilet and I have withdrawn from the internet, and well, everything really. But I went to the doctor and I’m back on medication (I’ve suffered from anxiety and depression throughout my life) and I’m feeling much better at the moment. So here I am, blogging again. If you follow me on Instagram you may have seen that I carried out my own little Me Made May style challenge in July. Me Made May is one of my favourite online sewing community challenges so I was disappointed to miss out on it this year. If only ..read more

Happy new year, folks! I hope you all had a lovely Christmas if you celebrate and a good break if you got to have one. My Christmas was lovely and betwixtmas was blissfully relaxed and lazy. I had planned to do a bit of sewing to try to finish off some of my WIPs but I ate Christmas food and watched telly instead. We’d saved series 3 of Ultimate Beastmaster for Christmas, which I very much enjoyed but would have liked a little bit more Honeybadger (the male Australian host). But anyway, I lured you in with talk of graphs. I enjoyed last year’s graph attack so much that I’m back with another on ..read more

After me saying in my Flint trousers post that I don’t think I would ever get on board the cropped wide leg trouser train I only blummin’ went and made a pair! Of course I’ve never actually worn them… I went to Green Man Festival in August and the weather forecast was a little bit shonky so I got myself in a tizz about what I’d wear. So I made these. My thinking was that they’d be long enough to keep me warm but short enough that they didn’t drag on wet grass/mud. Well it turned out that we had pretty glorious weather and they stayed in my backpack the whole weekend. Oh well. I have no idea ..read more
