I've been up to my old naptime tricks again... and somehow managed to rush a quick-sew project to wear to The GBSB Live on Saturday! As is my way, I left it so late to make this. And ended up rushing it off of the sewing machine at 11pm the night before I needed it. Classic Jen activity.
Anyw [...]

I wouldn't normally say this... but maaaan am I proud of myself for this make. Reasons being twofold; 1 - It's beaut, 2 - THIS IS MY FIRST MAKE SINCE HAVING THE BABY!
Yep, that's right. I have a 6 month old AND a whole Tilly and the Buttons Rosa dress. Go me! Sewn entirely in baby nap times. [...]

Being a Tilly and the Buttons super fan, I even surprised myself for taking this long to try a Coco dress! I might be heavily pregnant, but thought I'd make one now just for fun, to see if it would work.
I just decided to just try making a larger size than I normally would, with no fancy mate [...]

I've finally hopped aboard the Moneta bandwagon! I think everyone else in the whole world has made one of these... and finally I can be added to that list.
The Moneta seemed a perfect choice for adapting into a maternity dress. It uses knit fabric (tick), has a big swishy skirt (tick), and co [...]

So I have been one busy sewing bee, working flat out on this, my latest make, in time to wear to a very exciting sewing event this weekend. The Sewing Weekender, organised by The English Girl at Home and The Foldline, is taking place in Cambridge (lucky for me!) and I so wanted to have a new dre [...]

Hello lovelies. So a little bit of a delay with this, my latest make (soz!). And before I get started, I just want to jump straight in and declare my love for this dress!
It was somewhat rushed through the sewing room - out of a mixture of leaving it last-minute, and sheer excitement. Excitem [...]

Earlier this year, I was OVER THE MOON to be invited to take part in the Big Vintage Sew-Along Blogger Tour. So many of the big names in dressmaking have been/will be taking part in this, so I have to say I feel massively honoured to be asked to contribute. And it is in support of a fantastic ch [...]

There's no denying that the few days of sunshine we have had of late totally inspired this dress! And why the hell shouldn't it....
I had this gorgeous fabric from an impulse buy from the Sew Over It website. It is a lovely soft cotton (lawn I think) called Hyacinth. And the colours had me co [...]

Happy April folks!
Another dress to show you today, which I've been excited to blog about for a while.
Those of you who follow me on Facebook, Twitter or Instagram may have already seen that I recently wrote a piece for Sewing Made Simple magazine, reviewing my experience of Sew Over It's [...]

I finally feel like I’m getting on top of things after the upheaval of moving house *high five to that*! Good news is that this means that I’ve had the time to get making again… in my new sewing room. I actually feel as though I was getting a bit cranky without being able to sew – proof that it [...]

Evening lovelies! Much excitement to show you my latest make. It’s a bit of a special one!
The pattern for this dress was one that I nabbed during my shopping spree at The Handmade Fair in September. It is a super cute Bettine dress by Tilly and the Buttons. I was sold on this as soon as I [...]
