December sewing plans

Real talk - I haven't sewn anything since September. SEPTEMBER. This is longest I've gone without sewing in several years and I simultaneously feel like I don't really mind that much and that I've lost a limb. It's weird. November was a bit odd as I had to re-adjust to normal life after 4 fantastic …

By Hand London Anna dress

You know when you have an event to go to but procrastinate for so long that you don't have anything to wear until the last minute? No? Just me then... Last year my cousin got married, and I needed something nice to wear for the occasion. I really was short on time and didn't really …

September sewing plans

My poor neglected blog... I'm still here I promise! I've had a post for September half drafted for ages but I just haven't had the time to properly finish it. August ran away with me too - I was away for a week so that did cut down sewing time, but if I'm being totally …

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 …

Me Made May – why I didn’t complete my challenge

You might have spotted that I stopped posting for Me Made May. I managed to post 21 days in a row on instagram, and I shared weeks 1 and 2 on the blog so I partially met the goals I had set for myself but if I were to be completely honest, week 3 of …

Me Made May 2018 – week 2

Can you believe we are halfway through Me Made May?! I must confess that I am beginning to find it all a bit of a struggle. Not the 'wearing clothes I've made' part, it's the 'finding different things to wear so I don't end up in the same 6 things each week' coupled with the …
