Florals are out again
Here’s another of my Minerva projects from last year. It was the usual race against time as I sewed frantically to have something new to take on holiday with me. I'm trying the Minerva Exclusive Linen Viscose Blend. I chose this vibrant eye-poppingly colourful floral print called Beaming Blooms. The tropical flower motif is a… Continue reading Florals are out again
Cloned Ponte Pencil Skirt

Self-drafted long-sleeved tee-shirt dress
Wow, I blinked and it's been weeks since I blogged. For a traveller like me, summer as you might imagine is my busiest time. We are working extremely hard on catching up with the travel we missed while everyone had to stay at home, so I've been on a couple more trips. It's also the… Continue reading Self-drafted long-sleeved tee-shirt dress
Finlayson sweater for Him
Now that I've got over the fear it seems pretty normal to be inserting a sewing project for the man.
