One Stitch At A Time
When I saw the fabric I’ve used to sew up my Heather Blazer, I was drawn by the colour – I’m so devoted to copper that it has become my signature look. I had no idea what I would make with it as sometimes it really does depend on getting to feel and judge the […]
New favourite Dress alert. Now and again, I find a pattern which I know I’ll revisit over and over again – the Sew Over It Georgie dress has become the latest in this shortlist. I bought this pattern around three years ago when I first started sewing and wish I had got around to making […]
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 […]
Hello, fellow sewists. I know it is fairly late in the month but I will take the opportunity to wish you a happy new year anyhow – hopefully you’ve all been making it through January and have been enjoying your sewing projects. It has been some time since I gave my blog some real attention […]
The Jessie Coatigan is an unlined, loose fitting garment, perfect for the in-between seasons of spring and summer but also for layering on colder winter days because of the amount of ease that is built into the pattern which means you can wear chunkier knit layers under it with comfort. Depending on the fabric you […]
It has been quite a while since I’ve been on the blog to share what I have been sewing ; my YouTube has taken a backseat, too. In fact, I’m not even sure I’ve mentioned to visitors of my blog that I now have a YouTube channel; if you’re not familiar with it, you can […]
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 […]
