Another M7948
I have made M7948 previously in a more formal fabric, so this time I was really looking forward to making it in a comfy every day style. I absolutely love Minerva’s Ponte Roma base cloth, it’s so soft and comfortable to wear and is a dream to sew with. This design is from their exclusive…

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…

Simplicity 3020 (Adaptive Jeans)
I’ve been wanting to try a pair of wheelchair-friendly shorts for a long time now, and the current hot spell felt like the perfect opportunity. I recently purchased Simplicity S3020 adaptive jeans pattern, so I thought that I would adapt that and reduce the length of the legs to make the shorts. Obviously, in such…

The CieloDress
When the sun is shining and the temperatures are high, all you want is a light, cooling dress that is comfortable wear. My latest make, The Cielo Dress from Closet Core, fits this brief perfectly. It’s a cross between a shift dress and a boxy T-shirt. Paired with the gorgeous Shibori Echoes linen-look cotton from…

Minerva Amelia Dress
I absolutely love the new Amelia Dress pattern from Minerva. It’s such a great dress that will see me through many events this summer. Dressed up it’s perfect for Weddings and Christenings or dressed down perfect for just relaxing at a family barbecue. It’s such a dreamy dress with fluttery sleeves, empire waist and designed…

Minerva Tracey Jacket
Who doesn’t love a shirt style jacket? So practical that every wardrobe needs one – fabulous as an outerwear topper or as a layering piece. Minerva’s latest exclusive pattern the Tracey jacket is no ordinary Shacket though, it’s rich in details and finished off with just the right amount of top stitching to elevate it…

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. My fabric (kindly gifted by Minerva as part of their ambassador scheme) is called falling blossom and it’s…

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…

Fairfax Jacket
As I mentioned in my previous post I spent a long time deliberating over what to make with my gorgeous Ambassador fabric this month. It’s the beautiful Floral Exuberance from Minerva’s Exclusive Organic Stretch Woven Cotton Sateen collection and it’s so pretty, the colour combinations really appeal to me. I had initially envisioned making a…

Minerva Sewing Kit M7975
Minerva have launched another new kit today and I’ve been lucky enough to get to try it before it’s general release. This was my first time sewing a Minerva Kit and it was most definitely a very easy and stress free way to start a project. I love how absolutely everything you need to complete…
