#bpsewvember Day 28, 29 and 30

Day 28: UFO. I currently only have one UFO which only really needs about 4 buttons sewing on, but black buttons are quite dull so here's a photo I took on a disposable camera in Paris in October of some beautiful street art Day 29: Superpower. I think my superpower is self-restraint in fabric shops …

Day 25: Chore. Tidying up is definitely the worst part of sewing (and the reason why I haven't done any for a few weeks) and I put it off off as long as possible 😂 my plan for tomorrow is to tidy up, hoover the button rug (thread magnet fyi) and then finish 2 projects …

Day 22: Blue/green. I always love blue but this year I've found myself drawn to green a lot. The green fleck jersey on the left is gorgeous, I picked it up at Sew Brum from Guthrie and Ghani and the khaki mossy green, while awful to photograph (it's a lot less 'pond' coloured IRL) is …

Day 19: Neutral I don't/can't wear traditional neutrals because they make me look like I'm really unwell (pale for life yo) so instead I'm sharing this beautiful machine I saw in a shop window in Paris last month 😍 Day 20: Style stalk. I love a lot of what Taylor Swift wears and would happily …

Day 16 : Spots/stripes. I actually didn't wear stripes for a really long time because I'd read that a horizontal strip can make you look wider and spots are apparently better for the optical illusion of slimness. Then I started sewing again, became a bit more body confident and now I want to wear ALL THE …

Day 13: Selfless sew. I don't do a lot of selfless sewing although I feel like I probably should do more! This is a sneak peek of a long since finished Negroni shirt I made for Hayden. I think it's my only selfless sew this year?! It will be on the blog... at some point... …

Day 10: Shopping list I don't often make a shopping list as I don't normally have much of a sewing plan, but eventually I want to buy a giant cutting mat and rotary cutter! Day 11: The Vault This is a dress made about 6 years ago for someone I was at RADA with - …

Day 7: Playing favourites I don't really have any particular favourite fabrics or patterns, or at least nothing I could pinpoint as 'the one' so this photo is a bit of a vague interpretation 😂 my favourite part of autumn is the leaves changing colour, and a favourite Liberty print is Manuela - I love …

Day 4: Fun One of the fun things about sewing for me is that it's a truly international skill - all around the world are people just like me sitting making wonderful things! When I go abroad I've started trying to pick up so fabric or trim from a local shop so when I get …

#bpsewvember Day 1, 2 and 3

Day 1: Hi there! I'm Jenny 😀 I've been sewing for about a million years and trained as a costume maker. I like running, cats, travelling and quizzes. Day 2:Wackiest pattern  Like many other people, I'm interpreting today's prompt quite loosely as I don't really have any wacky patterns to show you (I have one …
