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 [...]

Earlier today I had the pleasure of meeting a wonderful bunch of dressmaking enthusiasts, at our very first Cambridge sewing meet. This was organised via the genius of The Foldline website, and we met up at Backstitch near Cambridge.
As this was our first meet, I thought it would be best to k [...]

Probably the most excited I have been since moving into my new house, is the launch of my shiny new website!
It's been a long time in the making - and I'm thrilled with how it looks.
Now I can't wait to get sewing and showing you all my latest makes.
Anyway, have a nosey round the site [...]

So here we are, with 2016 almost upon us! Crazy times.
In all honesty, I am happy to see the back of 2015. Not for bad reasons - mainly because I feel totally out of steam with all of the madness of work, having a big birthday (inc party, obvs), Christmastime and managing to move house! Phee [...]

Evening lovelies! So I have been facing a bit of a struggle over the past week or so – it’s been a real struggle to find any sewing time. This is all to be blamed on celebrations for my 30th birthday!
I had the most amazing time though – and have crammed so much in. Much shopping, eating and [...]

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 [...]

Autumn has arrived! And so have the warm comfy clothes thankfully :)
I have been excited to stitch up this sweater ever since I bought the fabric on my spending spree at The Handmade Fair on 19th September. It is a super soft quilt effect jersey from Fabric Godmother. I had already spied t [...]

This was my very first Knitting and Stitching Show, so I was keen to find out what all the hype was about. Off I trundled on my own and had an absolute BLAST!
I arrived late morning on Saturday and straightaway knew that I wanted to get a place at Matt Chapple’s talk. By the time I had mana [...]

Next on the agenda as far as events go for me, is my first time at The Knitting and Stitching Show. This year it takes place at Alexandra Palace from 7th to 11th October. Being relatively new to the world of sewing and dressmaking, I have never been to a Knitting and Stitching Show before – so [...]

Howdy y'all. I recently whipped up this cute little skirt especially for wearing to The Handmade Fair a couple of weeks back. It's a really easy pattern by Megan Nielsen called Brumby skirt.
It was dead easy to sew - and quick too! Which was good because I left it really last minute to make [...]

Phewey…. This post feels like it has been a long time coming. I have been very literally knee deep in packing for our big house move. Stress has been sky high, but happily settled into our temporary home now. So life is good!
While I had boxes stacking up around me, I made it my mission to [...]
