23rd June 2015 By Lorna 4 Comments

I want to share with you a vintage blouse I made back in February this year. The project was started on a dressmaking workshop I attended at John Lewis in Bristol called Dressmaking to fit.

29th April 2015 By Lorna 14 Comments

This yoke top, designed by Lauren Guthrie has been on my ‘to-do’ list since seeing it in Issue 5 of Love Sewing magazine in September last year.
