Blouse – New Look 6599
Once again I had bought some fabric to make a blouse, but without a pattern. I finally found this one and decided on version C. I thought this would be a good ‘cross-over’ type item, that I could wear at Steampunk events and ‘normally’. I do wear it with the denim skirt, and butterfly waistcoat …

My daughter wanted an Autumnal jumper so I found this lovely wool and a pattern she approved of!! I liked it so much I then made one for myself!! And so my son wasn’t left out I made a jumper for him too!!

Denim Skirt 2016
I think I had been inspired by the Great British Sewing Bee now. In particular I remember loving the asymmetric skirt, although this is actually nothing like that!! But I wanted to make a denim skirt that was flared and had a bit of swish to it. I had seen things on Pinterest too, and …

First Shirt 2016
I have really got the sewing bug now!! As I am running out of storage space for steampunk clothing, I need to just do ‘normal’ sewing! My son loves wearing shirts, so I started with him! I am now amazed at how a basic school shirt can be quite so cheap. They have french seams!! …

Turquoise Outfits 2016
I had fallen in love with some Chinese style fabric at Nortex Mills a while back… obviously bought some for the ‘stash’, along with a plain contrast.

Leotards 2016
My daughter had stopped doing gymnastics at this point I think, but was trampolining instead. Every girl always wants more leotards though, and nice ones cost a fortune. I figured I could probably manage!! And since I had an overlocker it would be rude not to try. This pattern and the fabric were bought from …

Mini 2172 and Planes Jacket (2015)
I loved making the 2172 and thought it would be great to scale down for my daughter. There was significant guess work involved in doing this!!! I did the jacket first, which was worn with a hitched up skirt from a charity shop, but then also made her the skirt. This butterfly fabric is one …

Velvet Jacket and Trousers (2014)
I seem to have misplaced my pattern for this one. I made the trousers with the flap front, and a velvet jacket for my husband. He hasn’t worn them very often 🙁 a) It was summer, and the velvet jacket was TOO hot! b) No pockets in the trousers… This is obviously very disappointing, and …

Butterick B5696 (2014) – Tea Cups
I thought this would be something special for The Asylum, which I was attending for the first time this year. This would be for the Ball event in the Assembly Rooms in Lincoln. Construction of this skirt was very similar to the Simplicity 1819 skirt, but without the side cascades, and with a much bigger …
