I could have added many more but these are my current favourites J I’ve linked the products in each section if you would like to check them out for yourself.

I’ve tried various types of paper (I’ve even tried greaseproof baking paper) for tracing patterns and I…

Mira Dress by Fibre Mood – My Review…
I have been eyeing up the Mira dress by Fibre Mood pretty much since it came out. I absolutely love the boho style of this pattern, it has a touch of 70s style about it don’t you think? I stalked the pattern for a while on Instagram and adored the versions that other sewists were making so I knew it wouldn’t be long before I had to give it a go myself. I have to be honest though, it was the gathering of those tiers that was putting me off a bit, gathering is not my favourite sewing task it has to be said. I was drawn to this Crepe…

My thoughts on slow fashion and trying to shop more sustainably…
I LOVE clothes and I love fashion. You probably wouldn’t know this if you saw me on the school run these days. but I do. In my younger, more carefree days I would spend a large proportion of my wages on clothes every month often only wearing something once, it was almost like a hobby, clothes were my interest and I wanted something new pretty much every weekend. I’m almost ashamed to admit that now but maybe there wasn’t actually anything wrong with that at the time, it’s where I get my love of sewing from after all. I also liked to study the clothes and see how they were…
