So now that I am starting to get back into the hibernating/craftathon stage of the year (Ie Autumn/winter) I am starting to plan out the things that I want to make.

Summer Recap – Pippa
As usual the summer has been a bit of a whirlwind which has kept me away from my laptop for a number of months, I’m sure it has forgotten who I am by now… Incidentally I am having to borrow a laptop to write this as I am still in “summer sailing” (despite what the weather says) mode and haven’t… Read more »
35 before 35 update
Recently I turned 32 so I thought I would do an update on how my 35 before 35 list has been going in the first “half a year” and see if any progress/changes have occured yet.

35 Before 35
When Nikki talked about making a 30 before 30 list it got me thinking, I have already passed that milestone but that kind of thing a bit more of more ‘instant’ Bucket List was probably a good idea. So I set about thinking about what I would put on it and what kind of time frame would be good for… Read more »
Wardrobe Basics: Rachel Shirt
One of the things that I have been planning on making for ages is one of the biggest wardrobe staples there is, a buttoned-up collared shirt. I have made a couple of shirts before and even a full-length buttoned shirt dress but never a “simple” shirt. When Seamwork released the Rachel Shirt I downloaded it straight away and printed it… Read more »
Nikki’s Sasha Trousers
So it’s been a very long time since I’ve actually written a blog post on here. I have a few drafts that got half finished but I never actually got around to posting them because I didn’t get the time or life just got in the way. Probably mainly that I didn’t get round to sorting out decent photos and… Read more »
