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 have two versions of the Tessuti Colette Tunic so far. I love the details and the finishings on this pattern so much, they are the kind of details that you notice and enjoy every time you wear them. My first version was with some Cloud 9 cotton that was the perfect weight giving the […]
My latest make is the Kimberly Dress designed by Athina Kakou. This was a really simple sew that came together quite quickly.

The Audrey Jacket from Colette Patterns was my first jacket in quite a while. I made this one as part of the 12patternsplus sewing challenge on Insta and I am grateful for the nudge each month to keep trying new patterns. There were a few techniques in this one that I hadn’t come across before. […]
I have not had much time for sewing since starting back at work a few weeks ago but I did sign up for a sewing challenge in January, and once I start something I am in for the long haul. I was a bit daunted when I saw this months make was a clutch using […]
My sewjo was a bit lacking in the New Year and I was looking to challenge myself more with my sewing this year, so I joined the 12 Patterns Plus sewing challenge run by Claire from Penguin & Pear Dressmaking over on Instagram. I have never participated in a sewing challenge but my motto for […]
I had seen versions of New Look 6808 popping up on my feeds but didn’t know if it was going to be a good fit for my curves. When I was doing a lap around the craft section of my favourite Op Shop I recognized this one at the front of the pattern stack. For […]
