As is traditional with the start of a new year I have been looking back on what I planned to make last year and what I actually managed to make from those plans (click the links in the captions to find out) and then planning ahead for the next year. So for 2020, I have done a Make Nine and… Read more »
Despite publishing my #MakeNine list on Instagram I never got round to putting anything up here and have generally been very lax about writing blog posts lately. It seems that I have been struggling for motivation for both creating content for the blog and for creating in general. Since finishing sewing Christmas presents I have sewn the sum total of… Read more »
So it’s somehow got to 6 months through the year… quite how I’m really not sure. It’s has just whizzed by. But I thought it would be a good idea to do an update on my Make Nine challenge that I posted about at the beginning of the year. In Progress Blanket – my red lounge blanket – this is… Read more »
So this year I’ve decided to try and join in with the #summerofbasics organised by Fringe Association after Pippa told me about it last month. This post is a little bit delayed as I have been super busy finishing off all my PhD stuff, but late is better than never! The idea of summer of basics is to plan, make and… Read more »
So I am planning on taking part in Me-Made-May again this year, I always have big plans for it but never seem to follow through for the whole month.

I’m definitely more of an impulsive sewer rather than scheduling in my creations, but maybe this year I might actually manage to get some things made… Read more »
So for the last few years, I have made up a Make Nine post on Instagram and here but each year I never get round to finishing the items on the list. So I’m trying to put a little more thought into it this year and come up with something that I will actually achieve. Rumana Coat I bought this… Read more »
So it’s that time of year again where I make my sewing plans. Last year I made some plans for my Autumn Winter sewing and I thought I would do the same again this year and take a look back to see what I actually managed to achieve of my planned sewing from last year. I also made a #makenine… Read more »
Last year I wrote up some Autumn Winter Sewing Plans which I cant say that I got very far with! I did finish the neck line on my Aberdeen sweater but haven’t changed the cuffs yet. I now own the grey ponte for the Zephyr dress after winning £20 gift card from Tia Knight Jeans are still on my list!… Read more »
This recently Nikki and I took a trip to Fabric Land in Bournemouth to get some fabric for the Latin dresses, well that didn’t happen but I did come back with a big bag of new fabrics for me and here are some ideas of what I plan to sew with them (confession: some of these might already have… Read more »
