Sew My Style 2019 – Activewear

I've inadvertantly signed up to participate in the Sew My Style challenge for 2019. I didn't participate in 2018 as none of the patterns really suited my own style but this year is more idea based than a specific pattern. The theme for January is Activewear and as I was already planning on making some, …

January sewing plans

It's January! In 2019! I'm excited! All the exclamation points! Anyway, hello! It's a new year and I really enjoy the feeling of possibility that comes with a new year. I'm not going to launch in to a whole 'New Year New Me' speech because I probably will continue to be the same me I …

Sewing plans for Make Nine 2019

It's that time of year again! I love this time of year, it always feels like a new beginning (I mean, it literally is) but everyone becomes so motivated and keen to plan for the new year and it's a bit infectious. There have been a flurry of new sewing challenges in the last few …

Steeplechase leggings from Fehr Trade

I recently started going back to the gym. I haven't been for years and I'm still not sure I have any idea what I'm doing when I'm there but I figured now was probably the time to share some activewear I made... last year! I actually made these during the first day of the Fold …

November sewing plans

Late again! No excuses really, other than I've been getting back in to the swing of real life after an extraordinary October. I was away from home (and my sewing machine) for 4 weeks so no sewing was completed in October at all but now I'm home I feel quite motivated to sew! This month …

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 …

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 …
