DIY Shirred back – Kim/Anna dress

June 5, 2021June 7, 2021Categories Sewing2 Comments on DIY Shirred back – Kim/Anna dress

As a huge fan of By Hand London and proud owner of 25+ Flora dresses and at least 8 Anna dresses, it may surprise you to know that I’ve only ever made one Kim dress. I love the square neckline but honestly on my first one I didn’t get the fit quite right and I…

Liberty Lawn Hannah dress

October 17, 2020October 17, 2020Categories Sewing2 Comments 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 Sewing3 Comments 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 Sewing5 Comments 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…
