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 …

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 …

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 …

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 …

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 …

Another Liberty Linden

Most people who have made the Linden sweatshirt from Grainline Studio absolutely love it and I have to admit I am one of those people. You may remember from my previous version that I had a little trouble picking a size but I'm glad I took the time to do this then as this pattern …

January sewing plans

It's 2018! I know it's a cliché but I am excited for this year - 2017 flew by and as you know from my monthly posts my year was quite up and down in terms of sewing and productivity, so I am ready for a strong start to 2018! My first big goal for 2018 …

December sewing plans

November has flown by, and as we approach the festive season, if you're anything like me it can be easy to take on too many projects during an already busy period. I already know that despite my best laid plans I will probably plan too much for this month - but I guess that isn't …

Happy as a Lark…?

Everyone raves about the Lark t-shirt pattern from Grainline Studio, and now I understand why. I actually made this top back in June - it was even photographed promptly, which is unusual for me! But I do have to confess... I don't actually like this particular version very much! The pattern is a simple tee …
