Hiya peeps, how are we doing today? Great, I hope. Firstly, apologies for the lack of post last week. Apparently, working on multiple projects at once isn't really my thing. I struggled and I almost lost my sew-jo, plus I was under the weather last week - still am actually. So, I've decided to go … Continue reading My First Self-drafted Skirt
Hello my fellow stitchers, hope you're having a great start to your weekend. Today's post isn't going to be of a finished make, I haven't made anything since my Rosa dress. I have been quite busy though; prepping pattern pieces (tracing, yikes!) for March projects, prepping my fabrics, gathering supplies and things, you know the … Continue reading Burda Style March 2019
Hi everyone, how are you all today? I'm finally reviewing the Rosa Shirt and Shirtdress from Tilly and the Buttons. These garments were part of Instagram "parties" I participated in last month, namely the #shirtmonth, #sewingfloralfebruary, and #rosasewalong that was hosted by @patsypoomakes and @stitch_make_and_bake. I had so (sew?) much fun last month! The pattern. … Continue reading Rosa Shirt and Shirtdress – Tilly and the Buttons | Pattern Review
Hello fellow stitchers, what exciting project(s) are you working on? As last week I had a project post, so today I'm just going with a chat instead. Sneak peek of my current project, if you will.

Hello fellow stitchers, I hope you're all well. I'm back with another seasonably inappropriate garment; the Willamette shirt. 😀 This is my entry for the Indiesew's #shirtmonth event on Instagram, are you participating? I have been so inspired by all the entries. I should have another shirt done this month, am currently testing the fit, … Continue reading Willamette Shirt – Hey June Handmade | Pattern Review | Indiesew #shirtmonth
Hello stitchers, I'm back with the second post on my scrap busting series today. I am really determined to make use of all of my scraps, big and small. I actually reorganised my scraps and ended up with 5 big bags of them! Yikes! Getting very close to finally making the pouf now. So this … Continue reading Mini Sewing Projects #2 | Ohhh Lulu Kitty Sleep Mask and Noodlehead Canvas Pencil Pouch
Hello stitchers, are you enjoying your weekend? It's been snowy with freezing temps here, perfect weather to stay indoors and sew, don't you think? 😉 I shared a while ago that I have a Pinterest board filled with sewing patterns/garment ideas I'd like to make this year, and the Winslow is one of them. I … Continue reading Winslow Culottes – Helen’s Closet | Pattern Review
Hello fellow stitchers, how are we all today? I mentioned in my Sewing in 2019 post that I very rarely have fabric stash. But I do have leftovers and scraps, odds and ends. Plenty of them in fact. The mountain of scraps just gets bigger and bigger every week and now it's time for me … Continue reading Mini Sewing Projects #1
Hi everyone, how was your week? Great, I hope. I'm here today to talk about my new top, the Faura from Pauline Alice patterns. But first, I'd like to say a huge thank you to everyone who visited my blog and read my Jenny overalls review, and a very special thank you to Helen who … Continue reading Faura Top – Pauline Alice | Pattern Review
Hi everyone, hope you’re having a wonderful day. I am still in the New Year spirit here, still writing 2018 in my diary/journal, ha! Since we’re still at the very beginning of the year anyway, I thought I’d talk about the past, present, and future of my sewing. Let’s start with the past year, shall … Continue reading Sewing in 2019
