It’s a Velvet Crush
I’m so happy to finally be able to share this make with you. This gorgeous fabric is launching today at the special Pop-up shop event in Manchester to mark Minerva’s 25th Birthday. It’s called Midsummer Magic and it’s part of the new Exclusive Crush Velvet Stretch Knit Fabric range. I have admired this as a…

M8340
I’m totally back in my comfort zone with this latest make. I have to confess that jersey is one of my favourite fabrics to work with and most definitely to wear. Ever since Minerva launched their new viscose jersey range I had been dying to try it. I was very kindly gifted this fabric as…

M7116 A perfect summer dress
I finally get to share with you my summer dress, which has been made for a couple of weeks now. I’ve been waiting for some sunshine to be able to show it off to its best advantage, it just didn’t seem right photographing it on a dull miserable day. I used a gorgeous cotton sateen…

Another Butterick B6687
I know it probably seems boring to remake a pattern, but when I find one that I absolutely love I just can’t resist the temptation. I also think that different fabrics make an outfit look completely different anyway. So, for the second time I have made Butterick B6687, option A. This time I have used…

Butterick B6687
Who doesn’t love a feature sleeve? I have to say I’m particularly drawn to them being a wheelchair user as I think it adds that extra bit of detail. Anything that draws attention to my outfit and away from the chair is a winner in my book. I found this wonderful Butterick blouse pattern B6687…

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.

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 I originally made them to wear as formal trousers, but they were so comfy that they ended up creeping into my…

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…

Style Arc Armidale Dress
I can definitely picture myself relaxing on a deck watching the world go by wearing this gorgeous fabric. It’s called Yacht Club and it’s from Minerva’s new exclusive viscose challis range. I was gifted this as part of their Ambassador Programme. As with the other fabrics in the range the viscose challis is such a…
