Wheelchair friendly jumpsuit
I’m so far behind with my sewing! Everyone else is busy making lovely, cosy autumn outfits and here I am shivering away while modelling a summer jumpsuit! At least I’ve managed to finish it in time for my cruise in four weeks, so hopefully I’ll actually get some wear out of it soon. I’m really…

Phoebe Top
I was very kindly gifted a gorgeous ivory slub viscose linen by Minerva, and as soon as I saw it, I knew that I wanted to make a relaxed summer top to just pop on with jeans, trousers, or shorts. I love wearing linen when it’s warm, and the addition of viscose in this fabric…

Another Iris Cardigan
I’m really enjoying wearing my latest make. This is the second time that I have made the Iris cardigan, and this time my fabric is a lot lighter and has more drape, and so feels surprisingly different to wear. My fabric was a crochet-effect lace knit with a little stretch in a gorgeous caramel…

Another Adrienne
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.…

Minerva Pippa Top
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…

My Phoenix Top
It all started so well with this make. I was head over heels for the fabric and couldn’t wait to dive in—(and, to be honest, maybe that’s what led to my downfall!). I’m calling this my Phoenix top because it’s managed to rise from the ashes of a total disaster into one of my absolute…
