Domestic Goddess
Advance warning: this post features pictures of me in a skirt, with bare legs. I can assure you, this doesn’t happen very often. In fact, hardly ever. I dunno whether it’s because I’m really just not a skirt person, or if it’s because all the weight I’ve put on over the last year has gone to my legs…

The Darjeeling Limited
When one of my friends gave me an invite to her wedding reception, I started to get a little excited. Way more excited than I normally would at the thought of having to make myself look presentable, leave the house and go and be sociable with people ? I was excited because at the bottom…

A Little Luxury
Have you ever found one pattern that you love so much that you just want to keep on making it, forever and ever and ever? As well as the Kielo by Named Patterns (which I have a genuine, concerning addiction to) it’s also happened to me with the Charlotte Skirt from Republique Du Chiffon. This…

Paris Is Always A Good Idea
…except maybe when the Seine has burst its banks, the city has just had its worst snowfall for decades and all travel in/out/around the city is in chaos. But the Eurostar and Airbnb was all paid for, and I was damn well determined to go and have a good time. The snow boots were packed, and…

In The Jungle, The Mighty Jungle
Guys, there’s a new kid on the sewing pattern block! My Handmade Wardrobe patterns are the brainchild of Sarah from Crafty Sew and So in Leicester – owning a successful shop isn’t enough for this lady so she’s now taking on the world of sewing patterns too. She’s just launched a new range of patterns, and describes them as being the…
