This really is the story of my (sewing) life! I make something… I like it… I make another million! The most recent victim pattern that this has happened to has been the Willow Tank from Grainline. I’m not sure if anyone noticed this year but it has been hot, it has even been hot up north.… Continue reading Why stick with just one?
One of my favourite makes this year so far (I know, that doesn’t exactly narrow it down) is one I’ve made before. This is now my third Blackwood cardigan. So I won’t bore you with the details of size, fit, adjustments… it’s exactly the same as my grey sparkly one. If you are new to… Continue reading Playing with texture

I have visions of culottes that will take me from work to evening with grace and glamour in a seamless swoop! Ok that’s maybe asking a bit much, I have very little grace and my glamour rating doesn’t… Continue reading A continued obsession with culottes
