#sewphotohop Day 15: Sewing space

#sewphotohop Day 15: Sewing space. My sewing space is ALWAYS a complete tip with stuff on every surface - it needs a proper sort out! But I do have a giant window to sew next to and an even more enormous cutting table to work on, plus lots of room for books, patterns and my …

#sewphotohop Day 8: Made for someone else

#sewphotohop Day 8: Made for someone else. I rarely sew for anyone else - partially because I'm rarely asked but also because when I don't get given a deadline I will put things off for ages 😂 but this (a Christmas 2015 present for @ponchomountain) will be finished and blogged soon!

#sewphotohop Day 5: Print or solid

#sewphotohop Day 5: Print or solid. I always think I have a wardrobe made up of solid colours but in hindsight I haven't made anything in a solid colour fabric for years! You can wear most prints if you only ever wear jeans 😂

#sewphotohop Day 4: Signature Look

#sewphotohop Day 4: Signature Look.  I don't really think I have a signature style, but I almost always wear jeans and it turns out I love a good shirt!  Throw in some cardigans or jackets and some superga sneakers and I am good to go!

#sewphotohop Day 3: Dream project

#sewphotohop Day 3: Dream project. This isn't actually my dream project, but an gorgeous example anyway - I have always loved period clothing and I would LOVE to make a proper historical outfit.

#sewphotohop Day 2: Favourite skill

#sewphotohop Day 1: Hello!

#sewphotohop Day 1: Hello! I'm Jenny! I sew, blog about it and buy too much fabric! There are worse habits!

A sleeveless Granville

Another day, another Granville shirt. This time – no sleeves! Of course, you probably clocked that from the title of the post... After the success of my first Sewaholic Granville shirt  I knew this would become a staple pattern in my collection. I wear a lot of sleeveless shirts and tops which is why I …

The bee’s knees

You all may be aware of this by now but as I am part sloth, I like being as comfortable as possible at all times and as such I am a huge fan of pyjama trousers. There is nothing like having a nice hot bath and then stepping into lovely clean pjs and getting all snug …

Thoughts on Me Made May

Some of you may have noticed that I have been somewhat silent during Me Made May - doesn't take much guess work to realise I just didn't take part. I first became aware of Me Made May last year, around the time I started my blog and started discovering more sewcialists online, but as I …
