My friend Sarah recently had a little boy called Alfie and when I heard he was due, I knew I had to make something with Liberty's Queue for the Zoo print that I have had in my stash for so long. I decided on these oh so cute baby dungarees from Puperita on Etsy. Puperita has…
I have made a few Emery dresses and Betty dresses so far but generally have stuck to Emerys in the Winter and Bettys in the Summer. I do love an Emery but for this fabric I wanted a more swooshy skirt and so used the Betty bodice and skirt with the Emery sleeves. I think…
I was quite late on the Emery dress bandwagon but once I caught up, I wanted to make infinite Emerys a la A Million Dresses. You can see how versatile this pattern is from that one Instagram feed! The pattern can be made with a Peter Pan collar, with or without sleeves - long or…

I have been meaning to make a washbag for a while but I wanted to make sure it was fully waterproof inside and out and never found an oilcloth that I liked enough to make it out of. I came across this fabric in The Makery in Bath along with iron on vinyl so decided…
