Rifle Paper Co Rayon Shelby dress

October 12, 2020October 12, 2020Categories SewingLeave a Comment on Rifle Paper Co Rayon Shelby dress

My last Shelby dress was a total winner, I’ve reached for it so many times since I made it so I knew I had to make another. I had this Rifle Paper Co rayon earmarked for the Shelby pattern since it came out in March but since it was Autumnal I left it until now…

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…

Liberty Lawn Suki Robe

May 30, 2020May 31, 2020Categories Sewing7 Comments on Liberty Lawn Suki Robe

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…

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…

[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

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…

Rifle Paper Co Primavera Indigo

April 19, 2020April 21, 2020Categories SewingLeave a Comment on Rifle Paper Co Primavera Indigo

Rifle Paper Co kindly sent me a package full of goodies from their Primavera collection including this cotton. I had 2 yards so I decided to do a short Tilly and the Buttons Indigo dress. As with the one I made previously, I added waist ties at the sides of the bodice that tie up…

Multicoloured Viscose Twill Magnolia hack

April 19, 2020Categories SewingLeave a Comment on Multicoloured Viscose Twill Magnolia hack

I’ve made a few Deer and Doe Magnolia dresses now and I especially love the sleeves from version 2. I decided to use this Viscose Twill from Fabric Godmother for a square neck version. I paired the Magnolia sleeves with a self drafted bodice and a Nina Lee Kew skirt cut on the fold and…

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…
