Boat neck top with full bust adjustment
Stash diving for patterns can unearth some old gems. One from my youth works just as well with some adjustments.
Sorbet season is here – self-drafted trousers in red shot linen
I've always loved linen trousers, especially on the hot days of summer. I've had several RTW pairs over the years and I always wore them to destruction. I've been meaning to make a pair for ages, but because I wanted to draft my own, it's taken a while. I've also had a piece of beautiful… Continue reading Sorbet season is here – self-drafted trousers in red shot linen
Floral Cuff Tee shirt Dress
This was another basic that I needed in my wardrobe. Tee shirt dresses are great in my book. Easy to make and more importantly easy to pack. I always like some of these for a summer trip. This dress is made with another of my own Tees developed from an RTW favourite. I’m calling this… Continue reading Floral Cuff Tee shirt Dress

https://videopress.com/v/i3mz9qUD?resizeToParent=true&cover=true&preloadContent=metadata&useAverageColor=true Well, the chances of me managing to post a weekly summary on a daily Instagram challenge while travelling and doing a bit of work, were probably slim so here I am again switching the two last bits of Me Made May into one summary post. After my sulky Week 2, I got back into… Continue reading Oops I did it again – the other half of Me Made May 2022
Sewing the Watson bra

Slub Sweater Knit Joggers
"I don't do trends", I say and normally that would be true. When a hot new trend arrives it always takes me a while to decide whether - a. I like it b. whether I think it suits me and c. whether this is a look that could last. I still have items in my… Continue reading Slub Sweater Knit Joggers
Knitting the Luftig Tee
Hot on the heels of making my Hopeful skirt for Kunbi I decided to take on another test knit...
Mustard and white striped trousers
Ever since I bought this piece of yellow and white striped linen a picture of a pair of light, swishy trousers floated into my head and once I got my hands on the finalised @PatternlabLdn trouser block, I was determined to use that to create the summer pants of my dreams. I've been dabbling with… Continue reading Mustard and white striped trousers
Breaking it a little bit: Kaste butterfly sleeve dress
True to my word I am making more from the Breaking the Pattern book because I'm still feeling the vibe. The latest one I decided to tackle was the Kaste dress. This dress is so pretty and at first, it was one of those which I thought, "It's really too pretty, it's definitely not me."… Continue reading Breaking it a little bit: Kaste butterfly sleeve dress
The T-shirt maxi Mark II
Hello, it's me! Long-ish time no blog. I know it's still winter and I'm still feeling that post-Christmas, pre-spring slow-jo that I get every year. I realised I hadn't shared a lovely make from last summer, and the blog was festering in drafts, so here it finally its. A couple of summers ago, I drafted… Continue reading The T-shirt maxi Mark II
