Just a short little blog from me today! If you don’t already follow me on Instagram…head over there now…I’m running my first store giveaway! Just head to the post (you can click on the photos below and it should take you there) and follow the steps to enter. There’s a good bundle of sewing goodies…

Corduroy, Cotton Lawn & Florals…Oh My!
So many shop updates! But to be honest, it wasn’t quite planned like that. In my organized mind, I had ordered products and arranged for deliveries every couple of weeks so that I could have a little stream of new products arriving for you all. Working with vendors is completely new to me, so it’s…

My Online Sewing Store Has Launched!
That’s right…you read that correctly! My very own online sewing store has launched. I actually launched on Monday, and this post was supposed to go up on Monday also but plans quickly changed. In my mind, I was launching in the morning, and then when I got home from work, I was going to release…

Matching Outfits + Machine Appliqué
Last week, I blogged about some shorts that I had made up for a class, and of course for Rosie to wear afterwards. Now here in South Alabama, monogramming, embroidery and matching outfits are everything, and us being from the UK, tend to throw on whatever slightly matches and we’ll call it an outfit. Well,…

Rosie’s Bubbla Shorts
I’ve got a short and sweet blog for you today! I was just looking through my photos for ones to upload and I realized that I didn’t actually take many at all to show the construction of these shorts! I actually chose this Bubbla shorts pattern from The Eli Monster for one of my local…

Closet Core Patterns Pouf
For the longest time, the Closet Core Patterns Pouf has been on my list to make. I’ve seen many people sew one up but I’ve been waiting for the right time to make mine. A few factors made me pull the trigger on beginning construction. I knew that I wanted to stuff my pouf with…

Welcome Back!
Let’s be honest…it’s been a while since I put anything on this blog; over a year in fact! So first of all, welcome back! I’m planning on getting my blog back up and running as I’m still very much sewing every day and making lots of things that I can share with you. I share…

Chalk & Notch Fringe Pattern Update!
This is such a cute pattern! I always see a lot of Chalk & Notch patterns floating around on Instagram, particularly the Fringe Dress/Blouse. I was so excited to hear that Gabriela was updating the pattern and making a C/D bust version too.
Kwik Sew 3983 – Rosie’s Dungarees
I absolutely love dungarees on children! Though, when I say ‘dungarees’ here in Alabama, no-one knows what I’m on about. They’re called rompers or jumpers here. Crazy. 😛 Anyway, this Kwik Sew pattern is just adorable and it’s one that I just couldn’t wait to make for Rosie. I had acquired a random piece of…
Butterick 6217 – The Gertie Top
I can remember seeing this pattern a long time ago, when I had first started to seriously have a go at making my own clothes. The Butterick 6217 pattern has been sitting in my closet for around 4 years! I know I bought it when there was a sale on the McCall’s website. I seem…
Oliver + S Culottes
As I was browsing the Fabrciworm sale, I came across this adorable dusky blue lion fabric by Camelot Fabrics and knew that I had to buy some. Luckily, when I’m making clothes for Rosie, they only require about a yard of fabric so I purchased a yard and got to having a think about what…
Gertie Sews Vintage Casual – Zip Front Dress
This dress has been on my list to make for a LONG time! I put it on my Make Nine plans for last year and just got round to sewing it up a couple of days before 2018 ended. I had always known which fabric I wanted to use for it too so that made…

Sew Over It Lily Top
*face palm* I was given this maternity/nursing pattern quite a while ago but only got round to making it when I was in the final stages of nursing. BUT I do feel like this is one of those patterns that would be absolutely fine to wear if you aren’t pregnant and if you aren’t nursing!…
Oliver + S Swingset Skirt Pattern
A little while ago, Oliver + S were having some kind of sale where you could buy 10 of their printed patterns for $50. I stocked up on some that would be good for Rosie now and for another few years too. I’d never actually had any of their patterns until I received my order…
Colette Wren Dress
Another one ticked off the #2018MakeNine list! I had a really hard time deciding on which version of this Colette Wren dress to make. I love anything without sleeves so version 1 appealed to me the most. However, after reading a few reviews, I realized that the skirt might not be so flattering on my…
