Tractor shirts 2019
Doesn’t everyone buy fabric on holiday? We had got the bus from Looe to Polperro this time (we normally go the other way), and were walking back along the coast path. I hadn’t expected a fabric shop in Polperro!!! But obviously had to go in. Hubby saw some tractor fabric he liked, so 4m were …

More Shirts 2019
I saw this raven / skull fabric near Halloween time (again in Abakhan – it sounds like I live there, but I just nip in occasionally while my daughter is trampolining!), and knew it was perfect for my son. Although it took me quite a long time to get round to making it up! I …

Christmas 2018
We were going away for Christmas for the first time ever. I wasn’t certain about this! But I did want something nice to wear while being waited on!! I found this sparkly fabric in Abakhan in Altrincham, but there wasn’t very much of it. This was really easy to make, mainly on the overlocker, as …

Next I tried a very simple jersey ra-ra dress: I then continued to put off trying the baby-gro, by doing some knitting instead!!! Before finally being …

I had found a lovely cheap fabric browsing in Abakhan (while daughter trampolining probably – or that’s my excuse), so had to find something to make with it!! I chose this New Look Project Runway pattern, with different variants. There are some fiddly bits to this one, particularly where the front bits meet. This was …

Teacup dress 2018
I got this offcut of fabric in Abakhan. Not much of it 🙁 I love china and teacups and saucers, so this was perfect for me, but what could I make with such a small amount? The lady in the shop suggested an apron, but somehow I managed to get a dress out of it, …

Lobster Bustles 2017
So one of the things with steampunk ladies seems to be competing to have the biggest bum!!! One of the other ‘Steamstresses’ had made this lobster bustle and I thought is was fab so wanted to have a go myself. Officially it is the Truly Victorian TV163 1887 Imperial Tournure rather than a ‘lobster’!! Basic …
