Hello friends, long time no see... sorry the blog went quiet the last couple of weeks, I have been (again) struggling with back pain. I managed to aggravate the piriformis muscle (never lift up heavy stuff without bending the knees and using the legs!), second time in six months this! I think I mentioned in … Continue reading Yanta Overalls – Helen’s Closet | Pattern Review
Hiya friends, hope you're all having a great day. I'm here with the return of the Freya. If you remember, back in December (ooh that rhymes haha!) I made the Freya dress and sweater version, and I was completely following the instructions/pattern, and they were great, I got plenty of compliments - well, who am … Continue reading Freya Dress – Stretch book by Tilly Walnes | Pattern Hack
Hello everyone, happy Me Made May 2019! I didn't pledge to join in, I am ready wearing me-made almost everyday anyway, but I love the enthusiasm for Me Made May in the sewing community. I love seeing how everyone styles their old makes, showing more of the makes in action - as it were. I … Continue reading Pattern Stash and Organisation | May 2019
Hello my lovelies, long time no see. Hope you all had a nice break over Easter. Sorry for missing Saturday post again, the weather over Easter weekend was too glorious to spend indoors, so I took a few days off of my sewing projects. It was good, I needed that. When I saw on Instagram … Continue reading Anza Jumpsuit – Itch to Stitch | Pattern Review part 2
Hello my lovely stitchers, how are we today? I hope you've had a nice weekend. Ours was quite low-key and relaxing, lots of playing with fabrics, art supplies, Netflix and Mario Kart.

I haven't got a finished object to share as I'm currently still working on the Anza dress and toile for the jumpsuit version. I'm really taking my time with my projects now, so please … Continue reading Anza Dress – Itch to Stitch | WIP
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
