Tilly and the Buttons Coco Dress

18th November 2016 By Lorna 4 Comments

Coco dress front

Well it’s been a while since I posted on the blog – the last several weeks have been rather busy since I launched the business at the end of September. It has been busy which is fantastic but the opportunities to do some selfish sewing have been few and far between! I managed to finish […]

Love Sewing Ruby dress – lots of swirling opportunities!!

29th August 2016 By Lorna 4 Comments

The Love Sewing Ruby dress was a free pattern with issue 4 of the magazine and has been one of it’s most popular patterns. It is one of the Simple sew pattern ranges. I believe it became out of stock the first time as it was that popular. I remember seeing lots of versions being posted on […]

Simplicity 8014 – A cracking denim shirt dress

5th August 2016 By Lorna 2 Comments

Simplicity 8014 collar

I love the cover picture on the pattern envelope of Simplicity 8014 – it definitely sold the pattern for me and I was very excited about making it. I went to one of the NEC Sewing shows earlier in the year and took the pattern along with me on a mission to find some denim to […]

Simplicity 2154 Pencil skirt - bring on the summer!

My latest creation is my final garment for a course that I have been doing since September last year. The course is a Level 1 NCFE in Creative Craft – Dressmaking which is aimed at beginners. Admittedly I did have experience in sewing and dressmaking before I started but I decided to do this course […]

Sewaholic Thurlow Shorts – what I have been looking for….

17th May 2016 By Lorna 4 Comments

The vision was….a pair of tailored black shorts to wear with tights and boots and maybe some contrasting facings inside to jazz them up a bit. These would be worn during the day casually with flat knee length boots or perhaps on a night out with some ankle boots or heels. Well I eventually got there (hooray!) […]

My first knitted garment – The Rowan ‘Cookie’ cap sleeve top

21st March 2016 By Lorna Leave a Comment

Now I know my blog is called ‘Allaboutthesew’ but now and again I do indulge myself in some other crafting goodness including knitting. I started this top in the Autumn last year when the darker, colder nights were drawing in. There were times when snuggling on the sofa with some knitting was more appealing than getting […]

My Christmas Dress – a sparkly Megan!

16th December 2015 By Lorna 10 Comments

Be warned for some serious sequin action….!! Well it is Strictly season after all! It was never a serious intention of mine to make a Christmas dress. Why would I do that to myself at this time of year?! So many things to think about and dedicate time to, the addition of something that wasn’t absolutely […]
