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 1

My first week of Me Made May is over and the results, if I am honest, are as expected. I was able to wear me-made every day, I desperately need more trousers and jeans and I still don't like having my picture taken! The thing I didn't expect was that I have actually do enough …

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 …

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 …

Cataloguing a stash, or ‘how to shame yourself into not buying more’

As you probably know by now, I have an embarrassingly large stash and it has grown a bit out of control - so much so that I am currently on a #stashdiet and I'm not allowed to buy anything new until July. I can't even show you a photo of the mess that it is, …

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 …

Sewing plans for #2018makenine

I love this time of year - the last few days of the year after Christmas are always a time for planning, anticipation (and eating too much leftover chocolate) and getting ready to see what the new year brings. Following on from last year's #2017makenine, I wanted to start 2018 with a fresh list of …
