The Stanway Top
I can finally show you my completed Stanway T-shirt made from a gorgeous jersey knit fabric from Minerva’s core range. I love the quality of this jersey it’s so soft and a really good weight making it a joy to work with. I was very kindly gifted this fabric by Minerva as part of their…

MN Jarrah Sweater
Chilly days call for a snuggly sweater and this make comes just in time for the change in weather. The gorgeous rope textured stretch knit is from Minerva’s core range and is so soft that I have to admit I didn’t want to stop stroking it when I first opened the package. I love that…

Butterick B6687
Who doesn’t love a feature sleeve? I have to say I’m particularly drawn to them being a wheelchair user as I think it adds that extra bit of detail. Anything that draws attention to my outfit and away from the chair is a winner in my book. I found this wonderful Butterick blouse pattern B6687…

Butterick B6244
What is it they say about ‘best laid plans’….. it seems like such an awfully long time since my last post. Unfortunately I’ve been suffering with my health and had vision problems (thanks to a bout of Shingles) and then my world fell apart when my beloved Assistance Dog ‘Bonnie’ passed away, so sewing has…

Another Edith Top and Skirt

A cold weather Tabor Top
It is definitely starting to feel like there is a chill in the air and so it seems like a warm cosy sweater is called for. Enter, my next project, a tabor top from Sew House Seven using the gorgeous Brushwork Prints Fabric from Minerva’s new exclusive sweater knit range. This fabric was very kindly…

M4789
I think I’m secretly channeling my inner Lioness with this latest make. Possibly a bit too luxurious for watching football, maybe better suited for lazy days lounging around a spa or cruise ship. I have to admit I’m undecided as to which I’ve enjoyed more, making this tracksuit or wearing it reveling in the super…

Saybrook Tank
There are times when simple projects take you by surprise and you wonder how you ever managed without them. This is one such project. I have never really liked wearing tank tops…..that is up until now. This is the Saybrook Tank from Cashmerette Patterns. It is designed to be comfortable for larger ladies and is…

Tabor Jumper
After having enjoyed making the Tabor T-Shirt I then wanted to make the jumper version (version 4). I chose a gorgeous jersey knit fabric with a cable design from Minerva. I now wish I’d bought more in different colours, (there are at least four other that I have my eye on so I’d better start…
