I want to show you all the Bo Top I made a bit ago! This is my first foray into woven tops and it was one of the things I made during my Covid-19 lockdown sewing burst. I’ve been meaning to make a woven top for a while, probably thought about it each of the …
Hey all, got a fun make to show you today. It’s denim, it has mega-deep pockets, and it’s got a dangerous bite – Intrigued? Read on. The pattern is Marilla Walker’s Isca dress. A pattern I was smitten with instantly when it was released and knew it would meet my sewing machine one day. That …
Hello readers. Coming at you with some warm sewn comfort this time. I know, I know, two finished makes on the blog in as many weeks…what is this, 2012? Well, not exactly but I thought since I’m spending more time at home now (as are we all) I might as well have a go at …
Greetings from a storm battered Treehouse! Like much of Northern Europe we’ve been visited by rushing gales and battering winds.

Every once in a while a pattern hits the sewing world and everyone you know seems to have made one or have plans to make one. The Zadie jumpsuit was this year’s spring/summer hit pattern, before that, there was the Persephone pants and before that there was this one: the Mysosotis dress. It is always …
Hi all, It’s day 10 of #BRAugust2019 , a month-long instagram challenge for Bra makers. Every day has got it’s own prompt, and the tenth prompt is ‘most worn’. Preparing for the challenge, I realised I never even showed the bra that would become my most worn, so today I wanted to tell you about …
We’re half way through summer and we’ve just had the warmest week on record in my neck of the woods. We smashed through multiple records, including the all time record on multiple days and if I read one more sensation piece about it that doesn’t mention global warming and climate crisis I’m going to be …
Hello makers, I thought it was about time I’d show my face here again. I hadn’t planned to stay away for 3 months. I had a couple blog post in the works when I wrote my last blog posts, some of which were largely written and I had concise ideas for others. I will briefly …
