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 […]

July & August ’22 Sewing
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 […]
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 […]

Charm Patterns, Princess Coat
The cropped jacket version of this pattern has become my signature outerwear. I first made this a couple of months ago (and wrote a blog post on it for The Rag Shop. Having made another since then (and with the fabric for a third one going into the prewash) I thought it was worth chronicling […]
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 […]
Sew Over It Penny Dress
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 […]
