Hello again!

The world is crazy right now isn’t it?

I think sewists are probably secretly a little happy about all the “stay home” advice – more time for sewing hooray!

Hello Hello,

If you’ve read any of my previous posts you’ll know I’ve long struggled with bodice fitting. Well, early on in January my sewjo returned with the FIRE and I used that drive to work on those issues, and with some help, I THINK it’s been resolved!  Go on, have a read “The One with The Solution” →

The last blog post I wrote was about my Frocktails dress which I made back in August 2019. It’s now January 2020…. not cool, really not cool.

WOW! I really have been slack with this blog haven’t I? Sorry everyone, I honestly feel like I went to sleep in June and woke up and it was September!

Howdy ho Sewists!

I finally got some pictures of my first successful 2019 Make Nine projects (the story of the failures is for another day) so thought it was time I shared the journey.

This is the tale of making the New Look 6567 and I’ll give you a heads up, it is going to be a long post as it was quite a trip. However, as the title says, I learnt a lot so who knows maybe you will too? I think this will be especially helpful for those petite sewists or anyone who has had trouble with gaping necklines/narrow shoulders out there.

Happy New Year everyone!!

Yes, I know its already nearly the end of the first month of the new year but shhhhh.

Today’s post is super exciting – for me at least – I MADE MY FIRST JEANS!!

It was my new years resolution for 2018 to add that string to my bow so seems fitting to be writing about it at the beginning of 2019.

Hello hello from a very wintery Asheville!

We had our first snow of the weekend and sure made our little house look magical – now we just need to get some lights up so it can look magical AND festive!

Well hello there folks,

I would like to start out by saying “errr how is it December already?!?”

Time is on fast forward I swear, I can’t keep up – perhaps that’s why I’m blogging about a dress I made for a November holiday – ha!

Anyways, here’s the details on my latest make there Deer and Doe Arum Dress !

Hello hello!

I am pleased to say, the second of my simultaneously sewn projects is done! I  finished my Closet Case Carolyn Pyjamas from the most amazing donut and rainbow print flannel, a few weeks ago, just in time for the temperature to turn. Here’s to curling up on in my armchair with a good book, an even better coffee and these bad boys!
