One Stitch At A Time
This was my first time making a Cashmerette pattern; they’re not usually my style, if I am being honest. I prefer my clothes to have a more vintage-inspired twist (saying that, the Upton dress is on my make list as it has a really classic silhouette). However, I purchased a gold jersey fabric from New […]
I knew there would be time for sewing as I use a lot of annual leave in the winter months rather than summer. In spite of December being a busy month, it is much easier to carve out sewing time when work doesn’t interfere with life! My dear friend Lisa (bobo_bun ) and I were […]
The Decades of Style ESP 101 pattern has been on my radar for a long time; it is a part of their ‘Decades Everyday’ pattern collection designed with the premise ‘sew in a day, wear everyday’; the pattern is easy, accessible, and quick to make. I bought the No. 101 E.S.P. Dress pattern a long […]
The Jackson Tee and Pullover is a pattern you’ll be able to use again – as a gender-inclusive pattern, it’s the pattern to get if you’re making handmade wardrobe gifts for friends and family, especially for occasions such as Christmas. The size range is, as typical of Helen’s Closet, incredibly inclusive; it ranges from 0-34 […]
Again, I am running a bit late with the monthly sewing round up but life really doesn’t go out of its way to allow me time to blog – and I really hope to remedy that soon so I can share the details of more of my makes in the incoming months. Helen’s Closet, Hudson […]
Given that it’s November 15th, and I’m only now getting the opportunity to sit and write up my makes for October, it surprises me that I managed to get much made at all. It has been a much quieter month for me, sewing wise, for reasons I won’t go into here. Nevertheless, there are some […]
Self-Acceptance and a Viscose Penny Dress I recently made up the Sew Over It Penny Dress and fell in love with the style even though it was quite different to anything I had ever worn before and I knew I wanted to make a couple more. It’s one of those dresses that looks as good […]
You can always consider it a safe bet that one of the first things that will ever come up in my sewing diary is a Charm Patterns make. That’s because 9 times out of 10 the monthly release from Gertie’s Patreon is right up my street. The Mariner Top Ok, ok, so I didn’t make […]
It will come as no surprise to you that I took this top pattern and opted to make a dress by adding a gathered skirt. I also skipped on the collar detail (for a couple of reasons). My use of vintage inspired fashion is quite conservative – I personally think there is a thin line […]
It is no secret that I love the Sew Over It pattern line; more specifically the vintage inspired patterns. Penny had been on my to make list for quite a long time but you know what it’s like – every new discovery makes the list longer and longer. When I saw this Eco-vero ex- Nobody […]
