Butterick 6448 Dress
This pattern was another that came with Love Sewing magazine, and I instantly loved it. Instant search on Minerva to find some suitable fabric!! It took me a while to get around to making this. The fabric was horrible to cut out. It was a soft crepe in a gorgeous teal colour. It was only …

Pumpkin
I am not sure what possessed me to make this… I think it was the fact that kids couldn’t do trick or treating this year, and this would last longer outside the house than a pumpkin!! It got soaking wet and very heavy hung outside! And we never get many trick or treaters anyway! I …

Bright Shirts
August & September 2020 We visited Lady Heyes Antique & Craft Centre in Frodsham just before our wedding anniversary (18 years). The deal was Paul buys me fabric…. and I make him a shirt. Win win in present buying in my view! He picked three of the brightest fabrics available, but unfortunately there wasn’t 3m …

Baby Cardigan
September/October 2020 Another baby cardigan using James C Brett Fairground DK. One of my favourite baby yarns. I like the colour mixes. This is a small 0-3 months version. I haven’t been able to see my niece and baby Tod recently, and he looks to have grown quite a lot, so I think he will …

Green butterfly top – New Look 6577
July 2020 I bought this fabric (Minerva again) specifically to make a second version of this top. This time the shorter version. I love the greens and blues in this, and the rather abstract butterfly. It is a pretty simple make, but where the back neck edges meet the front can be a bit tricky.

Kwik Sew 4188
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 …

T-Shirt – July 2020
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 …

Blouse Simplicity 8948
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 …

Purple top – New Look 6577
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 …
