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, 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 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, 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
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
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
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
So, here we are with part two of this pattern. As I mentioned in part one, I was not happy with my first dress and I considered it a fail - though I still love wearing it. I spent over a week working on this pattern to get the fit right, I worked on three … Continue reading Myosotis Dress – Deer and Doe | Part 2 – Pattern Review
