TATB Lyra Dress
I know, I’m late to the party, as practically everybody else has already made a Lyra dress, but here is my version made using Botanic Garlands viscose challis from Minerva’s exclusive collection. (I was very kindly gifted the fabric as part of Minerva’s Ambassador program). I absolutely love this print, it reminds me of beautiful…

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…

So nice I made them twice – more Parker Ponte Pants
You know a make has been a success when you realise that you wear it a lot. That’s the case with my Parker Ponte Pants from Style Arc which I made back in October. I originally made them to wear as formal trousers, but they were so comfy that they ended up creeping into my…

Another Edith Top and Skirt

Tatb Indigo Dress
I’ve had lots going on recently so this latest project unfortunately has had to take the back burner for a while so it’s felt really satisfying to finally be able to finish it. This is the Indigo dress from Tilly and the Buttons. It’s an incredibly versatile pattern that can be made as a tunic…

Parker Ponte Pants
I have been on somewhat of a quest recently trying to find the most comfortable pair of trousers and I think my search may now well be over. Being a wheelchair user means that I have additional requirements to most people. I need a higher back and longer leg (trousers shorten when you sit down)…

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…
