Simple Sew Shannon nautical jersey dress hack

31st August 2017 By Lorna 2 Comments

I love my jersey clothes soooo much – they are so much more comfortable than woven fabrics (which definitely have their role to play too in my wardrobe nevertheless!). For the Summer I had visions of a jersey maxi dress that would be easy to throw on, cool in the heat and really comfy to […]

2nd August 2017 By Lorna 2 Comments

4th January 2017 By Lorna 4 Comments

‘Twas the season to be sparkly… Now that the Christmas deccies have come down and stored away for another year, I thought I would look back at some of my Christmas makes – most of which involved SEQUINS- making not only the outfits very sparkly but actually most of our house! Cut sequins go EVERYWHERE!! My first experience […]

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 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 […]

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.
