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…

Love Notions – Laundry Day Tee
After the complexities of my last make, it was lovely to return to the sewing room with a quick and easy project. I’m always happy to be working with jersey fabric, and this beautiful one called Skopelos paparounes crimson from Art Gallery Fabrics was an absolute joy to sew. I’ve had this cotton jersey fabric…

Minerva Amber Culottes
Sometimes a pattern comes along that really surprises you. This was the case with Minerva’s new Amber Culottes that I was lucky enough to pattern test. When I first saw the pattern, I liked it, but I didn’t envisage falling in love with it the way I have. Now I’ve made it I can’t believe…

Tatb Billie Dress
Now that the weather has turned decidedly arctic outside it seems very timely to be making a sweater dress. I was very kindly gifted this gorgeous fabric called Parading Palms from Minerva’s new exclusive French Terry collection and chose to pair it with the Billie dress from Tilly and the buttons. I absolutely love this…

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…

This time of year I think it’s really important to have clothes that are comfortable and easy to move in and this dress meets that brief perfectly. It is the Ebony Dress from Closet Core patterns, made with a gorgeous ITY Silky Stretch knit gifted to me by Minerva. The fabric is a medium weight…
