Another outfit for my darling girl. This is the Oliver and S swingset tunic top, and puppet show shorts. Both fabrics are from Spotlight. The floral is a cotton lawn and the shorts are cotton voile with a fairly bubbly texture. I added the floral bow to the shorts for an extra detail, floral bow to… Continue reading Another play suit for Alice
A Oliver and S play suit for Miss Alice, I find shorts and tops much easier during the crawling stage. The top is the butterfly blouse with the ruffle sleeves, the bottoms are the Puppet show shorts. Though Alice was 9 months when I made this I made her the 12-18 months size. As she is quite a big long baby and has broad shoulders. It fits perfectly. The fabric is divine Liberty Wiltshire purchased from the strawberry thief .
This is my second attempt at the Grainline Moss mini. The first was out of a super stretchy denim and for some reason, the crutch stuck out. Not a good look. I think the fabric wasn’t rigid enough? This one I love. I think it will look nice with tights a boots too The only… Continue reading Moss mini skirt
I made this simple top on the weekend. I am going to call it self drafted, but really I cut a t-shirt style and altered the neckline till it fit, to match an old Country Road t shirt I own. The fabric was a Lisa Ho drapey (but not particularly stretchy) knit from The Fabric… Continue reading Self drafted top- success or failure

Those of you at the Sydney Sewers Social have already seen this. I made this dress specifically for the day and have worn it a few times since. It’s a little creased in the pictures but the wrinkles drop out fairly quickly. I made a straight size 14, with no alterations. This isn’t my first… Continue reading A linen dress for summer
This is my third version of Vogue 1250. I love this pattern. Whenever I wear it, I get compliments! It is a flattering shape for curvier girls, like me, but probably suits all shapes. My third version is made from this lovely pink animal print from Remnant Warehouse. I bought it about 6 weeks ago,… Continue reading Third time’s a charm
I had a bit of a sewing blitz on the weekend, it was lovely. I always feel so relaxed after some time at the machine. I made a couple of tops and have another nearly completed pair of pants. The two tops were Grainline’s tiny pocket tank without the pocket. I made a 10 with… Continue reading On boobs (or the top that fitted yesterday)
These are the famed Sewaholic Thurlow pants! I made these so long ago, and every time I tried to get a photo something went wrong. They are made from wool blend fabric purchased from the remnant warehouse many months ago $30 for the whole piece. Out of this huge piece of fabric I got these… Continue reading More pants
