One Stitch At A Time
Disclaimer: I have been gifted a one year all-access membership to the Cashmerette Club but my opinions of the patterns that I will share on my blog and socials will be my true opinion. When it comes to size inclusivity and patterns that cater first and foremost to curvy bodies, I personally think Cashmerette is […]
I’ve been MIA for most of this year – turns out having a baby becomes all consuming and I rarely want to spend time in the sewing room when I can enjoy Henry snuggles and playtime instead. Saying that, necessity has caused me to make a few new garments; because time is limited, when I […]
Gertie hit 2023 off with a bang with her new Patreon theme and first pattern. In fact, it was the reason I signed back up to her Patreon. Last summer, I paused membership as it was annoying me that my pregnant body was not compatible with the patterns that were being released (although I wasn’t […]
Not quite my first make of 2023 – I made another Sew Over It Jessie Coatigan for which you can check out my review here – but it’s the first garment made with a pattern that is new to me. I cannot remember exactly when the Sew Over It Esma Dress pattern was released but […]

Depending on the fabric you […]

My sew jo still isn’t what it was but it is no bad thing – sometimes rest is more rewarding! Roseclair dress Cashmerette’s Roseclair is a beautiful pattern and one I will undoubtedly make again. It is such a confidence booster to find a wrap dress that does not require an FBA (and all the […]
I have been disgracefully lax in my blogging in the last few months; it has been unavoidable but I am going to try and catch up on what has been happening in my sewing room over the last couple of months. Viola Dress I tested the new pattern from Schulz Apparel, the Viola dress, a […]
I recently pattern tested the Isla Dress Jennifer Lauren Handmade. I very rarely participate in pattern testing because of the time constraints that are usually imposed. With sewing being my hobby, I resist the idea of sewing to a deadline. Pattern testing is usually time consuming, too. There is always at least one toile that […]
