Simple Sew Shannon nautical jersey dress hack

31st August 2017 By Lorna Leave a Comment

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 […]

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.
