I’ve finally finished the little jacket I made for my Granddaughter. I love the overall look of it, I think it’s super cute, but I’m disappointed that I made stupid errors with the construction (more on that later). Firstly, I want to talk about this amazing fabric, (which I was very kindly gifted by Minerva…

The Minerva Victoria Blouse
What a pleasure it has been to work with this beautiful fabric when the weather outside was so terribly cold and grey. I was instantly transported to a summer garden every time I looked at it. It’s actually called Popcorn Jelly but for me it just conjures up images of a flower bed in full…

Last make of 2023
My final make of 2023 is a jersey top. I’m so happy with how it’s turned out.

Unfortunately this is the case with my latest make, the Savannah Dress. Don’t get me wrong, it’s still very wearable,…

I was feeling rather poorly during the run up to the event and wasn’t able to concentrate properly. Thankfully I was able to re-use the fabric and then saw…
