- With just under a week to go until all hell breaks loose for the dreaded 'Black Friday', I thought I'd get ahead of the game and post my favourite picks of sewing-related Christmas gifts. Despite being a grown adult, I still love writing a Christmas list to give to my mum. The only difference is the [...]

I'm one of those really annoying people who starts banging on about Christmas during the heat of summer. Just to be honest! So you can probably guess the levels of excitement and girly squealing when I received this gorgeously festive crafty subscription box through the post.

Over the weekend I treated myself to this quick sew project - which I've been meaning to make for about a month!
The pattern is a Grainline Studio Linden Sweatshirt. I made one of these last autumn, and I've worn it so much it's kind of turned all bobbly. So it was high time for me to make an [...]

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 [...]

Since moving into our new place just before Christmas, I have been busy beavering away to get our spare room set up as my sewing room. I know, very lucky to have my own room for sewing and craftiness... I'm over the flipping moon with it!
A lot of inspiration was found via Pinterest for a lot [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]
