Maybe you’ve noticed the silence round these parts and maybe not but it’s been a frustrating couple of months. It started, as it often does with life getting in the way. The stress of job...
I’m joining Tilly’s celebration of our favourite sewing patterns with the One Week, One Pattern project. Pop on over to check it out. 1. Stripey Sorbetto: Worn to brunch with my Brother a...
With the best of intentions, before my self-imposed break last month, I had photographed a tutorial showing how I adapted Colette’s Patterns’ Sorbetto into the Toast inspired tunic. Now f...
Paperidollatry is the little side project I mentioned in my New Year post and now I can happily tick it off my list with a kickstart today. The idea starting ticking away in my head when I found a ra...

Woops got a little behind there and lets face it most of this weeks outfits were total repeats – so unexciting! Here’s two I hadn’t worn yet this month though… Hehe… I w...
