August sewing plans

Another month has flown by but July was a surprisingly productive month! Maybe planning a lot of things is the key trick to help me be more productive? I guess I will have to try it again and see! Not for this month though, we're almost halfway though already! As always this post is a …

Sasha trousers from Closet Case Patterns

As soon as Heather Lou released this pattern, I knew I wanted to sew it. Sasha is a classic slim fit stretch trouser based on the same block as the Ginger jeans. I've made the Gingers (to be blogged soon) and I knew they fit me reasonably well so the Sashas would be a good …

July sewing plans

June went past in a flash didn't it?! I can't believe it is July already. Lately I've left like I had really big plans for this year and have yet to achieve any of them, but that's not really true. I had no big plans, just lots of small ones. I wonder if maybe I …

Keeping it simple

And now for something completely different - embroidery! OK, so it isn't exactly a major departure from the norm but it's been years since I embroidered anything so I think this might be a first for the blog! Kathy from Sew Dainty has recently started selling cross stitch embroidery designs on etsy for the bargain …

June sewing plans

Another month, another late post. Would you expect anything else?! Even as I write this post I'm still not 100% what I want to get done this month but I am hoping it might become clear as I go! I'm in a bit of a weird place at the minute and I'm definitely lacking motivation …

May sewing plans

*sigh* April. I didn't sit and sew a stitch until the month was almost over. This was partially because the first few weekends of the month were very busy but also I found that the longer I left it, the more overwhelmed I felt by starting anything. Do you guys ever feel like that? I …

April sewing plans

As always, this post is a few days late. However in my defense, until today I wasn't sure what I wanted to make! I already have a busy month ahead so there won't be a huge amount of time to sit and sew but it would be nice to tick a few projects off my …

My Handmade Wardrobe Action Pack and a giveaway!

When I was contacted by the team at Crafty Sew and So to see I was interesting in being part of the blog team for their new pattern launch, I jumped at the chance to support some of my fellow sewists as they launched their latest venture. My Handmade Wardrobe is a range of 4 …

March sewing plans

As usual my monthly planning post is late. Would you expect anything else? February was another busy month but I was able to tick some things off some lists and start formulating some plans for the coming months. I actually have quite a few plans for March. There are lots of other exciting things going …

February sewing plans

I had high hopes for January but life got in the way (as usual) but I have had a good month regardless! I think maybe I was a little over-confident with my plans when I knew I had most weekends booked up already. February is a much quieter month but I think that the only …
