Liberty Lawn Hannah dress

October 17, 2020October 17, 2020Categories Sewing1 Comment on Liberty Lawn Hannah dress

I’ve made a few By Hand London Hannah dresses now and I have to say it’s my favourite and most worn pattern since lockdown. I love wearing a Hannah dress for work calls because it looks presentable enough but also is super comfortable sitting down all day. I’ve made a few with the tulip sleeves…

DIY Shirred Dress with Gathers

July 12, 2020July 12, 2020Categories SewingLeave a Comment on DIY Shirred Dress with Gathers

Shirring is one of those things that looks so professional that it’s a bit intimidating but actually it’s quite easy. I put it off for a while because I don’t love sewing with elastic - my swimwear makes have not been great and I think that’s put me off shirring too. I tried it out…

Sheer By Hand London Hannah dress

July 12, 2020July 12, 2020Categories SewingLeave a Comment on Sheer By Hand London Hannah dress

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…

Oranges Flora/Anna hack

May 23, 2020May 23, 2020Categories SewingLeave a Comment on Oranges Flora/Anna hack

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…

By Hand London Hannah Wrap Dress

May 14, 2020May 14, 2020Categories Sewing1 Comment on By Hand London Hannah Wrap Dress

I bought the Hannah wrap dress a while ago but hadn’t found the right fabric until I saw this cotton from New Craft House. New Craft House have the best selection of ex-designer deadstock fabrics, and the fact that they are limited quantity and sustainably sourced, makes me feel 99% guilt free when buying them!…

[Gifted fabric] Dancing lady Flora hack

May 6, 2020Categories Sewing7 Comments on [Gifted fabric] Dancing lady Flora hack

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…

No-Zip Pullover Flora hack

April 20, 2020Categories Sewing2 Comments on No-Zip Pullover Flora hack

I bought this linen from Sister Mintaka last year and was saving it for an Axis dress however being in lockdown and not having the pattern, I decided to make do and make a trusty By Hand London Flora. I didn’t have a zip in the same colour and since I’ve been working from home…

Hannah Shirred Sleeve dress

March 3, 2020Categories Sewing1 Comment on Hannah Shirred Sleeve dress

When I bought this fabric from Fabric Godmother I didn’t have a solid plan of what I would make, just that I wanted to use the By Hand London Hannah sleeves. I bought 2.5 metres and there was pretty much zero waste. I would have liked to make a waist tie so in hindsight maybe…

One Year Sewn: Winter

January 30, 2020January 30, 2020Categories SewingLeave a Comment on One Year Sewn: Winter

This was one of those ideas so clever that I was immediately inspired and so easy that I thought, why have I never thought to do this?! Thanks to Vicky @Sewstainability for thinking of this and Joy from Pink Coat Club for drawing my attention to it. So I’m taking a look at the clothes…

Magnolia/Hannah/Kew dress hack

January 27, 2020January 27, 2020Categories Sewing2 Comments on Magnolia/Hannah/Kew dress hack

I made quite a few Deer and Doe Magnolia dresses towards the end of last year and found myself wanting to wear them all the time but obviously a high leg slit isn’t necessarily appropriate for every day. I wanted to make something with the same 1970s appeal but a little bit more casual. I…
