Peggy skirt in grey and black ponte, and Paige skirt in a blue Big Ben print cotton sateen This month for my Rebecca Page brand ambassador sewing I managed to fit in two skirt patterns; one woven and lined (Paige), the other knit and unlined (Peggy). For speed, the knit skirt won hands down, but… Continue reading A tale of two skirts
Cold Shoulder Feathers
I was lucky enough to get some uninterrupted sewing time today as my husband took my son to the British Touring Car Championship for some father-son bonding time! Although the Easter heatwave is now long gone, like a lot of people the change in weather made me consider that I need to start thinking ahead… Continue reading Cold Shoulder Feathers
Josephine Jumper
This is my April sew as a brand ambassador for Rebecca Page patterns. I receive a free pattern in exchange for an honest review.

I'm not an affiliate so I do not… Continue reading Posy Pleated Pants Review – Rebecca Page Brand Ambassador
Adrienne Blouse review
I've seen some gorgeous Adrienne blouses on Instagram since Friday Pattern Company launched it, and I finally got round to finishing mine first thing this morning, after a hellish journey home on the train from London yesterday (all the power at London Euston station had to be switched off due to someone talking a walk… Continue reading Adrienne Blouse review
Needlecord Sierra jumpsuit: My first #makenine2019
Thanks for joining me on my new blog. I'm hoping that by being more accountable for my sewing endeavours I'll get more done, and have a resource to look back on. I hope you enjoy reading about my journey (think Strictly-esque but less dancing. Hopefully the same amount of sewing as behind the scenes). Why… Continue reading Needlecord Sierra jumpsuit: My first #makenine2019
