- 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 o [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

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. A [...]

Well here I am again, swishing my way around summer in a me-made maxi dress! And this one has been a long time coming... I actually made this last summer but it's taken a whole year for me to get around to blogging it. This is a true reflection of the amount of free time I get as a full-time wor [...]

Hi guys! It seems like way too long since I last blogged a new make… so here is my latest project! I haven’t sewn much lately due to a combo of sickness bugs (plural!) and Harvey travelling for work. Plus, you know, normal hectic life… so by the time I managed to get myself back into t [...]

- Happy holidays guys!
Somehow I managed to pull out all of the stops and make this dress in super quick time. Which is good, because my 'vision' was to make this to wear on Christmas day.
I haven't made a Nikko before, so it was a bit of a gamble as to whether or not I would like it... if it w [...]

Howdy stitchy friends! I'm thrilled to be showing you all my latest make. I have been absolutely gagging to sew up a Kalle Shirt Dress for so long - in fact it is one of my #2018MakeNine, so yay to ticking another make off the list!
So when Spoonflower got in touch to talk a [...]

So just desperately trying encourage Spring to come out and say hello, with this little make. So bored and tired of the seemingly never-ending British winter!
And this make was a little bit unusual for me, in that I have been very much ‘off’ floral patterned fabrics for some time. So this fee [...]

Well, I have been absolutely gagging to show you this dress. It has been a long time coming, for sure! I first dreamt up this dress when I bought the paper pattern at The Great British Sewing Bee Live back in September 2017. As soon as I saw it, I knew I wanted to attempt a hack to remove the bu [...]

Ok, so I asked myself 'Jen, do you think a full dress of rose gold sequins is a bit much?'. We all know the answer to this question... hell no! Also, you know, Christmas and that.
This was my very first venture into the world of sewing sequins. And man, it is a scary place. I diligently start [...]

Finally! The cat is out of this metaphorical handmade bag. I reveal my contribution to McCall's 'The Cocktail Hour' - Vogue Patterns 1484. And isn't she just darling.
This dress has been a seriously long time in the making. It was way back in darkest February (I was still pregnant at the [...]
