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 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 …

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 …

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 …

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, …
