Sewing with sequins – a very sparkly Christmas!

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 […]

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 […]

4th March 2016 By Lorna 4 Comments

Well hello there! It has been some time since I posted (well it feels like it anyway!) so hope you haven’t missed me too much (!). I’ve missed having a project to share with you. My last make was my Christmas Megan dress  and since then life has been a bit busy so this top has been […]

A little bit of vintage – Simplicity 1692

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. It was a Rowan workshop run by Avril Best. As the name suggested the workshop was predominantly all about how […]

A quick make for summer – The GBSB Sleeveless shell top

9th June 2015 By Lorna 4 Comments

In order to boost my selection of summer tops, I have made the Sleeveless shell top from the most recent Great British Sewing Bee book – ‘Fashion with fabric’ by Claire-Louise Hardie. I was after a fairly straight forward project that I could fit in amongst a couple of other things I had on the […]

A yoke top – but not in time for Easter!

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. I wanted to wait until the Spring to make it and as the post title implies, I finished it recently, just after the Easter weekend. Just in time for this lovely  weather we are were […]
