- Guys, I made my first ever pair of trousers! I had a blast working with Sewing World Magazine and Backstitch, reviewing Papercut Patterns’ Guise Pants. My full review can be found in December’s Sewing World Magazine, which can be purchased here.
Not going to lie, I was a bit scared of tackling tr [...]

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 [...]

So I have been one busy sewing bee, working flat out on this, my latest make, in time to wear to a very exciting sewing event this weekend. The Sewing Weekender, organised by The English Girl at Home and The Foldline, is taking place in Cambridge (lucky for me!) and I so wanted to have a new dre [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]
