Kat would be making a collection of accessible clothes that would be worn by disabled models, and they would be featuring braille descriptions – a UK first.

Love Notions – La Bella Donna
My latest make couldn’t have come at a better time! Having endured storm Darragh and definitely feeling the winter chill in the air, I was very much in need of a snuggly jumper to keep warm in.

I had initially envisioned making a…

Another SA Hope Dress
I loved my last Style Arc Hope dress so much that I couldn’t wait to make another one, this time, however I thought I’d try a different neckline. I used the expansion pack again and opted for bodice B, which is a raglan wrap over V-neck and again I went for the statement sleeves of…
