Eagle eyed followers may have spotted this fabric in one of the other posts, when I bought fabric and wool on by birthday day out in Shrewsbury. I finally got round to making this one up last week, and did the button holes yesterday. Really happy with the pattern matching… what pocket!? Photos are before …

I found this lovely fabric on-line when I was looking for pyjama fabrics. This was on eBay, which I have rarely used for fabric (always for buttons and zips though!). With a son called Robin, I can never resist a good robin pattern, especially with this shimmer/foil effect. I wanted to make a skater type …

I am one of those sewers who always likes to look at old Singer sewing machines in antique centres, and am always surprised at how much they want for them, AND critically always say I haven’t got room for one! My husband doesn’t listen! He saw one listed on Facebook’s MarketPlace and made an offer …

I drafted a pyjama bottoms pattern from a simple leggings pattern (New Look 6435). Just added a bit for not using stretch fabric, and a bit for comfort. As usual I got carried away doing, and didn’t take pictures of any of this make. Fortunately my mum sent a picture of her trying them on, …

Paul saw this cape in a window display in the wool shop in Cleckheaton. It was a Sunday, so shut at the time, but he liked it so much he rang up on Monday and bought the pattern. It has taken me a while to get around to, but I have finally made it!! To …

The chilli fabric was a great find on a day out for my birthday in Shrewsbury. I also bought more wool for a chunky cardigan (still in progress at the time of writing), a mini ironing board for sleeves, a french curve, and some great circuit board fabric from Watson & Thornton, another lovely fabric …

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 …
