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

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
Hello lovely readers, here we are in 2019 already, can you believe it? For the first review of the year, I thought the Jenny Overalls from Closet Case Patterns would be perfect, don't you think? 😉 The pattern. The Jenny is inspired by the workwear of the 40s. I love the style, the wide legs, … Continue reading Jenny Overalls – Closet Case Patterns | Pattern Review

But I did have a nice Christmas … Continue reading Fashion, the Essential Visual Guide to the World of Style by Karen Homer | Book Review
Firstly, apologies for not posting last Saturday, I've been under the weather the past two weeks, but last week was the worst as I hurt my back so bad that I could hardly sit and stand up. I'm still not 100% yet, but getting there. 🙂 So, a while ago I reviewed Tilly's second book … Continue reading Stretch! by Tilly Walnes | Freya Sweater and Dress | Pattern Review
You know, this series is actually one of my favourite things to write. I love sharing my findings of inspiring people or things. I also love the fact that these monthly posts allow me to share more than just sewing content - it's like a permission for me to share more than just the sewist … Continue reading Muses of the Month #4 | November 2018

My husband bought me this machine just over two years ago for my birthday. I had never touched a sewing machine in my life before, but, if you know me in real life you'd know that I live by my curiosity and I was so curious about sewing.

Spoiler alert: this project was not a success. And my camera really hates the floral print on the fabric it keeps refusing to focus, aaargh! A few weeks ago, Deer and Doe launched two new patterns; the Opium coat and the beautiful Magnolia dress. I am seriously loving all the Magnolias I've seen. And the … Continue reading Myosotis Dress – Deer and Doe | Part 1 – A Lesson in Fit
