Hi everyone, long time no see… hope you’re all doing well. How was 2020 for you? I had to stay away from all the craziness for sanity’s sakes, I lost my sew-jo, I didn’t touch my sewing machine for the longest time. I have been doing more drawing and calligraphy than sewing because my mind … Continue reading Madeleine Bloomers – Colette Patterns | Review
In which I talked about one of my favourite Summer 2020 makes.
Hi everyone, hope you’re all keeping well. It’s been awhile, hasn’t it? What a year this is! I’ve been (mostly) OK, creating still, just cutting down my social media time, including blogging though I wasn’t planning to go on hiatus for this long. But it’s a crazy year, so I’m allowing myself more freedom and … Continue reading Eve Trousers – Merchant and Mills | Pattern Review
Let me just address the elephant in the room first, yes I shamelessly copied Ray Stitch for this project. A while ago, they posted this photo on Instagram and I knew I had to have that dress in the same fabric - because apparently my obsession with yellow/mustard/gold isn't going anywhere anytime soon. So, let's … Continue reading McCall’s M7948 Pattern Review
Hello hello hello... Hope you're all doing well. I finally have a finished sewing project to share with you today, hurray! I actually finished making this dress about two weeks ago, but the combination of gloomy days (meaning I couldn't get decent photos) and fighting off a persistent cold was no joke. But anyways, let's … Continue reading Ivy Pinafore – Jennifer Lauren Handmade | Pattern Review
Hi everyone... I guess it is rather obvious that I'd lost my sewjo for a while, sorry for the lack of content the past couple of months. To be honest, I wasn't even trying to get my sewjo back, I knew I needed the break. I think it's good (for me) to walk away for … Continue reading Gemma Tank – Made by Rae | Pattern Review
As I have mentioned in the previous post, I had been working on the Pietra pattern by Closet Case Patterns the past two weeks. I have made the shorts and the trousers. But the trousers are not going to appear here, it is a project I am doing for Minerva Crafts - I'll let you … Continue reading Pietra Shorts – Closet Case Patterns | Pattern Review
You know, I was thinking the other day whether or not it is worth it for me to write a review of this pattern. I mean, who's not made it, right? It seems to me like everyone and their mother have made multiples of this pattern. And now that I've made both versions - the … Continue reading Kalle Shirtdress – Closet Case Patterns | Pattern Review
I know, I know... I promised a full review of the Kalle, but I still haven't finished the project yet. We got back from our mini break on Friday and you know how it is, after holiday you do all the laundry. So that's what I've been doing - how exciting, eh? But that wasn't … Continue reading New Look 6217 – Top | How to finish neckline and armholes with bias binding
Hi everybody, hope you're all doing well. Apologies for missing Saturday/weekend posting, my project was actually ready and I originally wanted to take the photos outside, but alas the weather has been sooo rubbish! It has been gloomy and wet all week, I couldn't get good light indoors either. *sigh* Anyways, I am back with … Continue reading Dawn Jeans – Megan Nielsen | Pattern Review
