I have taken in part in Me Made May for the last few years and am really pleased to be taking part again this year. So pleased in fact, that I am getting involved even further by offering a discount to participants during the last week of May! Zoe, who organises the event, will be […]
Jenny from Give us a Toile shares the first LSA Blog Squad blog post, and it is cute as a button!! ******** Given that I was so late to the indie pattern party after my long break from sewing, I couldn’t go on too much longer without tackling some Tilly and the Buttons. After making […]
The team at Simplicity Patterns asked me if I would review a couple of the patterns from their new collection. When I had a look at the new styles, I was delighted to say yes. The first pattern I chose was 8558, a three in one pattern from Mimi G. I’ve heard lots of good […]
I have had the PDF of the True Bias Lander Pants printed out and ready to go since they were first released but I was waiting for the perfect fabric to come along. I recently got the most stunning linen/viscose blend into the shop and knew that it would be a match made in heaven. […]
