I have made three versions of view D now and it is a hit! It’s a joy to sew, the pieces fit together really well and the construction is simple and easy to follow. It is comfortable and flattering and the style can be casual or dressed up depending on your fabric choice. The only […]
I have just discovered the Do It Better Yourself Club range of patterns and the first one I wanted to try was the Helen Drawstring Dress. The measurements were spot on for the size I needed and I feel comfy and relaxed in the jersey I used. I love the the cut and size of […]
Another one of my favourite Winter makes was a dress length version of the Style Arc Amy Knit Top that I made up in navy DBP. This was another hit with me because of the cosy cowl neckline (the pattern does come with different neckline options) and the fitted sleeves and simple design making it […]
I made one of the Tacara Dresses from Seamwork this Winter and I think I have worn it for the last time this year. Our Spring weather has been quite mild so far but the thick mystery knit I made it out of was too warm for today. It has been one of my favourite […]
The Love Notions Laundry Day Tee is a $5.00 bargain (and is actually free if you join the Facebook Love Notions Pattern Support group). I have been on the hunt for a basic tee pattern for awhile and this one is the closest I have gotten to a perfect cut for me. I made the […]

I’m participating in #memademay over on insta and my share for day 12 is a special one because it’s not so much a #memade but a #mummade. My Mum made this for me when we were living down South freezing ourselves through a Winter in a Defence house with no heating. It is one of […]
My latest make is the Kimberly Dress designed by Athina Kakou. This was a really simple sew that came together quite quickly. The only adjustments I made was to shorten the shoulders by 1cm each side and to omit the back zip closure. I have discovered that even though the bodice is semi fitted I […]
I was in the testing group for a faux wrap dress designed by Coffee & Thread called the Madrid Dress and Tunic. The first version I tried was the dress and I ended up with a gorgeous boho style, floaty Summer dress. I made the midi version but the maxi version would have been lovely […]
As soon as it starts to cool down I feel like diving into my yarn basket to start a new knitting or crochet project. Last year I had just finished a couple of tricky knits so I was looking for something that I could sit and do without too much thought. Looking through my collection […]
