Knowing British Summers, after all the nice warm weather we have been having, it seemed sensible to make a comfortable long sleeved stretch top. I liked the wrap around detail on this one. The fabric is from Minerva, and as I wear jeans a lot, I liked the denim-like colour of this. It was only …

Things to remember… read the instructions very carefully. I pondered on this neckline for ages, and in the end it was very straight forward! I have already forgotten though! The pattern came with Love Sewing magazine, which I have recently subscribed to. A nice treat to look forward receiving each month. I had bought quite …

June 2020 I love the neck line on this blouse, and I found a lovely black crepe to make it in. I have worn this LOTS since we were allowed out again! It has lots of rouleau loops… 3 on each sleeve, 3 at the neck fastening AND another 3 on the cummerbund. Doesn’t everyone …

June 2020 I made the long version of this for over leggings. My daughter calls it a dress 😉 I bought this pattern to learn how the drapping works. Another easy top to whizz up! I made another a bit later in the summer with some gorgeous fabric. This looks very vibrant in the photo …

Like many people I started doing more gardening during lockdown. At the start no-one knew what was going to happen, so I wanted to grow some veg. And as we were going to be spending much more time at home, tidy the garden and make it prettier. We did get lots of mange tout, a …

This isn’t mine, but had to be shared. I bought some mosaic kits from Bryony Machin for the kids during lockdown. My son used his to create this for VE Day. Creativity helped along by his Dad.

A long time ago I bought some stretch shiny and sparkly fabrics from Abakhan. I didn’t really have much of a plan for them, but couldn’t resist!! I had also been putting off sewing the stretch, but actually it was really straight forward. I think I could have done the leggings a bit narrower, but …

This one jumped out at me when watching one of Black Sheep Wools’ update videos by Sara. It was a great one to take away on holiday. A repeating Sea Shell pattern with a single cake of Sheepjes Whirl, again in rainbow colours for my niece’s rainbow baby. I thought I had taken more photos …
