    The Alexa Blouse

    It seems to have taken me ages to have completed this make (not because it was particularly challenging), simply because I haven’t been very well. I’ve had an impromptu holiday, and life has just got in the way. Now it’s finished, I’m really happy with it. It feels so luxurious to wear, and it’s the…

    K4156

    I’ve really enjoyed this make, working with 100% linen is a real pleasure. I love how crisply it presses under the iron and how well-behaved it is to sew. After its initial pre-wash, the fabric was surprisingly soft and feels really comfortable next to your skin. It still has all the characteristics of normal linen,…

    You know that feeling when you make something and you just instantly fall in love with it and can’t wait to make it again? Well, that’s just what happened with this make! Having put off making the Adrienne blouse for so long, I made one and then couldn’t wait for another.  So I decided to…

    The Adrienne Blouse

    As you all know, I love both sewing with and wearing jersey fabric, so this was the perfect project for me. I honestly can’t believe it’s taken me this long to get around to trying the Adrienne Blouse from the Friday Pattern Company, but now I have, I’m hooked and definitely plan on making more.…

    In the middle of summer last year, I was lucky enough to be able to pattern test the new Pippa Top pattern from Minerva. (The photos were taken back then). The pattern is launching today, so I’m very happy to finally be able to share my version with you. It’s such a pretty, feminine design…

    Self Drafted Shorts and Top

    I have wanted to be able to design my own clothes ever since I was a little girl, and this has become increasingly more important to me as a wheelchair user. Most things that I make are from standard patterns designed for standing people, and so I have to adapt them to make them comfortable…
