My newest blouse is easily by far my best sewing achievement. I almost cried with happiness when I finished the last stitches without any big hiccup. I really worked hard to get this blouse right. Du...
This post is brought to you by the power of Past Me who scheduled a future post for right now. A bit mind-numbing, huh? Well, I am currently here… …celebrating my 10th college (aka univer...
No one can argue that the sewing community is a wonderful one to belong to. I find myself very fortunate to be part of such a welcoming and opening group of people. I love meeting up with fellow sewi...
On the 24th day of Me-Made-May I wore my new Colette Hazel dress. I used an *African cotton fabric I found in the remnants bin at Rolls and Rem. I was drawn to the colors instantly. I debated buying ...
Y’all. I am running out of steam but that’s okay because we only have a few more days. MMM participants, we can do this. I can do this. But I have been working on a few new things. I fini...
I am quite surprised as to how well Me-Made-May is going for me so far. Only one garment was worn twice (out of pure laziness). Not too shabby. I’m sure garments will make a re-appearance soon ...

Before leaving on vacation I really wanted to play around with the Sewaholic Renfrew pattern and possibly make a maxi out of it. I managed to grade up the pattern but ran out of time and didn’t...
Dibs from Dibs and The Machine has started a fun series where she’ll be interviewing fellow sewing bloggers. She kindly asked to interview me and I said yes. You can find the video here. There ...
I’m back! And boy was Crete glorious! I have to admit, I am missing the sun already. I need to go out in this wretched weather but all I want to do is wrap myself up in a duvet and … Cont...
The weather in England today is quite shit. No really. It’s super cold and wet. With that said we headed off to Folkestone, Kent to meet up with friends. After a fast train there we were soon r...
I was lucky to pick up a lovely vintage pattern from Kestrel Finds and Makes at the Crafters’ Celidih. I was quite excited because at the time I didn’t own a vintage pattern. They intimid...
“But today is Tuesday,” you may say. Yes, that is true. But yesterday was one of the best Mondays I’ve had in a while. It began with me finishing up my final Darling Ranges Dress. I...
I’ve been wanting to participate in a me-made challenge since I first read about it a year ago. Sadly at the time I only had an apron and a skirt in my me-made closet. “Oh well, maybe nex...
May is getting closer and closer and it brings a long ago booked holiday (Crete!). I thought it was still far in the future but…nope. It sneaked up on me and my plans to sew my vacation wardrob...
Yesterday was the last day of OWOP. I really had a great time doing this challenge. It forced me to think outside of the jeans-and-t-shirt box and spruce up my look a bit. I definitely felt extra spe...
Evie form Pendle Stitches has awarded me a Liebster Award. Many thanks, Evie! “This Award is given by bloggers to other new bloggers who have fewer than 200 followers, to help spread the word about t...
See those cute teal shoes above? Yeah, haven’t worn those since I lived in Texas and drove EVERYWHERE. I am not even going to pretend that those shoes will be worn today. I haven’t worn h...
Gail‘s comment recently lead to today’s outfit. She suggested that my Mustard Jasmine would look good with the crochet Ginger and she was right. I think the look is quite sweet. But I lov...
After reading Handmade Jane‘s post on the Marilyn exhibit I knew I had to check it out. Today I met a friend at the Getty Image Gallery and had a leisurely look around. And since we were in the...
The lovely Rachel and I planned a baking date ages ago. And today was finally the day that we met to bake to our heart’s content. No tut-tutting over calories or substituting regular for diet. ...
Thank you for all the lovely comments on Denim Ginger! I will definitely keep blue and red combos in mind for future makes. I made this Ginger last week, using leftover crochet trim from my first Jas...
With the excitement of the first day of my fitting workshop, I completely forgot that today was the start of OWOP. As soon as I got home, I threw my Ginger on and took a walk with the mister to ̷...
From all the Victory Patterns it was the Madeleine pattern that I was most drawn to. I love how flirty flared skirts look. When it came to making Madeleine I was quite nervous. At the time I hadnR...
…and when it does I can share the last garment I made during the Great Internet Blackout. And one made shortly after. Until then here’s a wee preview because I am too impatient to wait to...
Do you ever wonder what Past You was thinking when they bought a certain pattern/fabric/notion/gallon of ice cream? I do. Initially, I wasn’t too keen on the fabric I used for this project. I b...
Lately I am trying to be wise about my fabric purchases. I go out to buy the right amount of fabric for a specific pattern. But I used to randomly buy fabrics in hopes one of my patterns would do. &#...
After 18 days without Internet I am back online. A new cable wire needed installing and that required planning permissions and a big fat side of patience. I’ve been sewing away and really can&#...
Last week I was invited by the lovely Becky from Forget Me Not Crafts to join in on some slipper-making fun courtesy of Merry Bobbins. The class is held in the gorgeous Sutton House, the only Tudor h...
