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 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…
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…
When I originally found Mind the Maker’s fabrics it was love at first sight, and that was even before I knew how soft and, importantly, sustainable they are. I bought this polka dot navy and pink one from The Village Haberdashery. It’s pricier than I would normally spent for a viscose but the quality is…
I bought this silk taffeta fabric as soon as I heard about the New Craft House Galentine’s Party, with a vague idea that I wanted to make something with puffed sleeves. There was some great high street inspiration on the big sleeve front, if anything a little too much, because I ended up getting a…
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…
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…
I bought this fabric from New Craft House aggggess ago and wasn’t sure what to make but I’d earmarked it for my bestie’s wedding since she was getting married on 21st December. After making a few Deer and Doe Magnolias I decided it would be just amazing in this sumptuous velvet so I took the…
Ever since I made my bridesmaids dress for my brother’s wedding , I couldn’t stop thinking about the royal blue colour way of the tencel cupro fabric. It’s one of my favourite colours ever and I thought it would make a perfect Deer and Doe Magnolia. I intended to make something completely different for the…
