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 [...]

This has been a fun little quick-sew make - much needed after just finishing my Cocktail Hour dress!
The idea for this make was born last weekend at SewBrum (my very first SewBrum!). There I was hanging with the gorgeous Sarah from Like Sew Amazing, talking about our birthdays (she is my birt [...]

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 [...]

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. [...]

I know, another blog post within a week! What is this craziness while I am very literally juggling a newborn baby?!
This is another of my pre-baby makes. And like the pyjama bottoms from my blog post earlier this week (here), I wanted to make this as a practical item to take with me in my hos [...]

Hello out there! It's been a while. If you follow me on Instagram, you may already know the reason for my radio silence on the blog... I had a baby!
Born at the end of February, I had a gorgeous baby boy weighing a hefty 9lb 9oz (go me!). So I have been busy adjusting to motherhood and tortur [...]

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 [...]

My first make of 2017! Yippee.
I realise this isn't exactly the most exciting make to be showing you all, but it wins points for being a top maternity wardrobe staple with an exceptional fit - just what I need right now!
I figured it was high time that I tried out the Megan Nielsen materni [...]

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 [...]
