For the first time since I started sewing there was a sewing meet up in my home city. This was awesome on several levels, I got to meet other people in the area who also love sewing and I didn’t have to spend a fortune travelling there and what have you. It was organised as… Continue reading This is what happens when you go to a fabric swap
My big achievement over the summer was finally making my own trousers. I did start off easily with culottes, very little fitting to worry about there. Moving onto some more complicated trousers… with a zip fly no less!! I wanted quite a casual fit, again so that it would be just that little easier to… Continue reading Things I learned while making trousers

I’ve never done this challenge before, and I’m very aware that my sewing tends to be ‘whatever I’m in… Continue reading How many nines did you make?
I seem to have an issue with Sew House Seven patterns… they put up a picture of a new release and I’m obsessed with making it immediately… and I must say, to the detriment of the rest of my sewing que! This happened with the Toaster sweaters, and it has struck again with Tabor!! I… Continue reading Tabor… with stars on it!
