I’ve been a bit obsessed with the By Hand London Hannah since I made my first one and when I saw this fabric from New Craft House I knew it would be the perfect match. It’s very sheer so I thought about lining it however I’ve done that with a few white dresses before and…
I’ve been eagerly anticipating this fabric launch since I had a sneak peak a few months ago but even long before that I was envisioning the yellow colour way of the Loseta viscose crepe in blue - it just reminds me of holidays. Josie from Fabric Godmother gifted me this fabric and I originally had…

I’ve always wanted a Liberty robe. I made a couple of PJs bottoms early on in my sewing and I wear them to death - I’ve had to mend the crotch about 100 times. When the fabric arrived though I just wanted to make a dress which is what usually happens, and why I have…
I’ve made a few hacks of the By Hand London Anna and Flora dresses. I think I like it so much because of dresses from the 90s; dresses I remember my mum wearing and dresses like THAT mint green dress from Friends. I bought this fabric on a bit of a panic and a whim…

I haven’t made pjs for a while and when better to make some then when you’re in lockdown. I’ve seen some lovely linen versions of the Common Stitch Pipit PJs and I think it looks amazing in plain or patterned fabrics. I had this Rifle Paper Co cotton that they kindly gifted me when they…
I’d been admiring the amazing prints from StorrsLondon.com when they approached me and asked if I wanted some of their fabric and obviously I jumped at the chance. Just to note that they didn’t ask me to blog or share anything, I just chose to because I genuinely think their fabric is great. I chose…
I saw the #Instarainbowchallenge by Zeena Shah (@HeartZeena) and Natalie Wall (@Talliwall) on the first day, red. I just so happened to be wearing red and I thought I may as well join in. I’ve been getting dressed since the isolation began anyway, it genuinely makes me feel better and makes my day more structured.…
After using the Magnolia sleeves from version 2 on a few different hacks I wanted to make the full version and opted for this beautiful Viscose Jacquard from Fabric Godmother. I love how floaty this fabric is and it feels really special because of the combination of the print and texture. It’s also completely opaque…
