Finished: Patina Blouse, Friday Pattern Co
Look, a finished garment! I love this shirt so much. I think it’s adorable. I can’t wait to make more – I spent a whole £1 on a beautiful embroidered tablecloth in a charity shop to get on that as soon as I rediscover my sewjo. Full details up on
Finished: Cashmerette Concord
This was a super last minute entry to the Curvy Sewing Database anniversary competition – but I’m so glad I made it in time, because I won two free patterns from it! Very grateful for that and excited for the new year when I’ll have time to sew them. I

Craft: Loom Weaving
Given my wonky hands, lots of my crafty hobbies are inaccessible. I find holding smaller things harder than bigger ones, so cross stitch is off the table – I started the Clouds Factory ‘Magical Creatures’ calendar to be my 2019 sampler, then had hoped it might become a 2020 sampler,
Finished: Gertie’s Picnic Skirt
It’s no surprise I love Gertie. Her modernised vintage patterns are exactly what I want to wear every day. (Except all the days I wear jogging bottoms and one of my partner’s tshirts, which given we live in These Times is basically every day. No chance I’m dressing up all
