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 […]

June 2022 Sew Diary
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 […]
May 2022 Sew Diary
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 […]
April 2022 Sew Diary
Sewing has taken a bit of a back seat at the moment between work amping up – I’ve had a promotion which comes with a lot more work and will take some getting used to – and have been working through a few weeks illness as well. Nevertheless, when I have had some energy, I’ve […]
Sew Diary – What I Made in March (2022)
Admittedly, I had to look back at my Instagram grid to find out what I made in March – life has been so packed and busy my days, weeks, and months all seem to roll into one… I started with a Charm Patterns Stanwyck Skirt as I have been trying to add a few more […]
February 2022 Sew Diary
It’s been the longest of months, ironically, given that it is the shortest month. Honestly, though, it has felt as if it was 8 weeks long. Work has started to take its toll (so too has the winter, I feel) and I’ve had less time than ever to sew. That’s not to say I have […]
January 2022 Sew Diary
The second week into February and I have not done a lot of sewing this month yet, let alone take account of what I made in the month of January. Saying that, I did launch a YouTube channel where I made a couple of videos showing off my makes in January (of which there were […]
December 2021 Sew Diary
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 […]
November 2021 Sew Diary
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 […]
October 2021 Sew Diary
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 […]
