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! 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 [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

This post has been a long time coming... but here I am - FINALLY showing you all my most challenging piece yet! And I'm so proud of the result. I hope you like it too!
My brother and I had a little jaunt up at the woods with the dog to take these photos. We decided it would be a lovely spo [...]

- Ollo loveliest everyones!
I've been away from the blog pretty much for the last month - mostly due to crazy house move activities and going on holiday. It was a much needed rest and relax in gorgeous sunshiny Marrakech. I took with me a couple of books + a shed load of magazines - one of which [...]

Howdy! So I’ve been suffering badly with the dreaded lurgy lately – which has been a bummer, to say the least! It’s taken me so long to get on and actually finish this dress. I think I started it at the end of November… wow… just worked that out myself. It DID take me ages!
The pattern i [...]

Evening lovelies!
Tonight I give you another very gorgeous By Hand London Flora dress. This is a dress which I made in super fast time to wear to a very special wedding in August last year. It was like real life Great British Sewing Bee!! I try to avoid making things in a rush to a deadlin [...]
