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…
When I first saw Tilly and the Buttons' new pattern, the Indigo dress, I thought it was lovely but not for me. The smock shape and lack of waist definition is something I haven't worn for years and I don't think it suits me at all. However, I was definitely seduced by the sleeves and…
I bought this cotton seersucker from the New Craft House Christmas party. I don't normally buy fabrics out of season but this one jumped out at me and I was imagining a summery Anna dress or another Flora. However seeing so many other lovely versions, I settled on a Tilly and the Buttons Seren dress.…
From what I've seen I think this year's Me Made May has been the best yet. It wasn't a challenge for me to wear me Made each day because I generally do. I have very few rtw clothes now. However the real challenge was not wearing my favourite items multiple times, which I always fall…
This was my first year doing Me Made May. I only started sewing three years ago so up until now RTW has still made up quite a big proportion of my wardrobe however this year I figured that since 99% of my wardrobe is me made, I would take on the challenge of documenting it.…
When I made my last (and first) dress in Cotton & Steel rayon, it made me really want to make a second with some flouncy sleeves since it had such great movement. I wanted the fabric for this one to be floral and feminine to an extent, but I think the navy avoids it looking…
I definitely don't think I was the only one to impatiently await the release of Rifle Paper Co's first fabric collaboration with Cotton and Steel: Les Fleurs. I don't often branch out from Liberty but this collection has inspired most of my AW sewing this year. My First project was Tilly and the Buttons' Martha dress…
I have been meaning to make Tana Lawn pyjamas for a while as I couldn't imagine anything more luxurious and when I received an exciting delivery of Wild Flowers I knew it would be perfect for summer PJs. Being a one-directional pattern, this print is ideal as it runs perfectly down the front of the…
