My February Sewing
Here’s a round up of all the things I’ve been sewing this month. It’s been a bumper month and I’m often asked, where do I find the time. This month I genuinely have no idea how I got all this done… But I know I did because I was given a diary at Christmas and…… Continue reading My February Sewing

My February Favourites
I’ve been talking about my favourite things for February 2020 in my latest video. I’ve been doing favourites videos for over a year now and they’re one of my favourites to make.

My special dress is finished!
I finished my special dress!!! And I love it beyond measure. It’s possibly my favourite thing I’ve ever made. And I had so much fun wearing it and dancing the night away at my friend’s wedding this last weekend. I’ve made a video talking about how I chose the fabric and constructed the dress. And…… Continue reading My special dress is finished!
Finding the right pattern for my special dress
In my latest YouTube video I’m talking about how I researched patterns try and find something that had all the features that I’d picked out during my epic try-on of all the dresses last week. If you haven’t seen that first video or read the associated post then you should start there. Life will make…… Continue reading Finding the right pattern for my special dress
