  • TEN Jacket Patterns to Sew this Fall…

    Put out request on Instagram and on my YouTube community tab to ask what you would like to see coming up – content wise- this autumn time and a jacket pattern round up was highly requested.

    So, in this week’s YouTube video, I’m sharing with you inspiration for TEN great jacket sewing patterns that you might like to sew up this autumn.

    Some of these patterns I have already sewn and some I haven’t (yet) but as we go through I share the sewing level, fabric recommendations, how I HAVE sewn it up if I have made it in the past or how I WOULD sew it up if it’s a new pattern to me.

    I hope you enjoy the video and find some jacket sewing inspiration for your own wardrobe this fall. Links for all patterns mentioned and suggested fabrics are linked in the video description too πŸ™‚

    Happy sewing!

  • Everything I sewed this summer (with try on!!)

    Hello everyone,

    I’m back (after a little break) sharing with you everything I sewed this summer with a little try on for good measure πŸ˜†

    I’ll be sharing the sewing pattern, the fabric I used and how I’ve found the garment works in my wardrobe if I’ve had time to wear it.

    I still think summer is my favourite season to sew for and this summer was no exception, despite the many heatwaves we had here in the UK! There was just so much inspiration around on the High Street and as always, I enjoyed using some of the patterns I already had in my stash to create something new and a little bit more ‘on trend’.

    I hope you enjoy the video and let me know what your favourite piece was, I’d love to know!

    What’s your favourite season to sew for?

  • Sew and Tell: My Latest Sewing & Knitting Makes, WIPs, and What I’m Reading

    It’s time for another sew and tell! In my latest sewing and knitting catch-up, I’m sharing my finished makes, current works-in-progress, and the books that I’ve been loving (and not loving) lately!

    Finished makes: From finished garments to what I’m still working on, I walk through everything I’ve stitched up recently β€” plus what I’ve loved and found difficult about the patterns I’ve been making.

    Knitting WIPs: On the knitting side, I’m deep into a navy jumper with a very relatable problem, I’ve run out of yarn and might need to knit the second sleeve in a different dye lot – help!! Come weigh in in the comments!

    What I’m reading: And because no catch-up is complete without book chat, I’m sharing what’s been on my reading pile too.

    Grab a cuppa and settle in for the full sewing and knitting vlog β€” and hit subscribe so you don’t miss the next one.

  • To Sleeve or Not to Sleeve? Sewing My Dream Gingham Summer Dress

    I am absolutely loving all of the gingham dresses around on the High Street at the moment, but for some reason, I’ve always wondered if gingham was for me!

    My new sew-with-me follows the whole process of sewing my dream gingham summer dress, doubts included: is this colour actually me, and does it need sleeves or not? I go back and forth more than once (you’ll see it happen in real time), before landing on the final reveal.

    If you’ve ever doubted yourself halfway through a project, this one’s for you.

    Grab a cuppa, thread up, and sew along β€” or just enjoy the chaos of me debating my own dress.

    Happy sewing!
