Is anyone still obsessed with the timeless movie classic that is Clueless? It epitomises the mid 90s and I still dream of having a mechanical closet like Cher’s! Whilst there are tons of amazing outfits in their film, the most famous is of course that’s yellow plaid two piece outfit. It’s an absolute style classic! […]
The Rae pants // Named Clothing
This’ll probably my last summery make of the year! I’d been meaning to make the Rae pants from the Named Clothing book Breaking the Pattern for a few months. (Check out my YouTube run through of the book here!). I thought they’d make a great summer staple as a swishy breezy casual trouser. It took […]
Utu + Freya = 90s outfit of dreams!
There are times when you just know that two patterns will work so well together for an outfit idea you’ve just dreamed up. In this case it was the Utu pinafore from the Named book Breaking the Pattern and the Freya sweater from the Tilly and the Buttons’ book Stretch! I’d been sitting on this […]
The Saraste Shirtdress from Breaking the Pattern
My first Minerva Craft’s Blogger Network for the year went up today! For this post, I decided a lovely new dress would be the perfect way to start off my sewing journey for 2019! I chose 2 metres of the beautiful Atelier Brunette viscose crepe in the Storm colourway. It’s a light petrol blue shade […]
Utu pinafore hack AKA the most sparkly dress ever!
Who’s ready to party this festive season away? I am! 🕺🏻 I’ve made the MOST sparkly dress ever in time for The New Craft House Winter Party this weekend. Unsurprisingly, the theme for the party is “All that glitters”… My inspiration for this dress came from a quick wander around Zara – now that’s a […]
The Solina dress from Breaking the Pattern // Named Clothing
It’s what we’ve all been waiting for since they announced it – it’s the new sewing pattern book from Named Breaking the Pattern: a modern way to sew! When Minerva Crafts got in touch to see if I’d be interested in trying out a pattern from the new book with their fabric, I jumped at […]
The Pilvi Coatdress!
For this month’s Minerva Crafts Blogger Network make, I decided I’d get started on some autumn/ winter sewing and I’ve made the Pilvi dress from Named Clothing. This dress has been on my “to sew” list for some time now. I even had the pattern printed off and ready to be stuck together for several […]
A Reeta playsuit hack
On a recent lookout for new patterns, I found one I really liked from République du Chiffon – the Yvonne playsuit. Which was unfortunately out of stock (and also not in English). I’m a rather impatient person so instead of waiting for it to be translated and/or come back into stock, I decided to take […]
A Gemma sweater dress hack – Named Clothing
I’m a little late with this post but it’s a great one to be starting off the new year with! This is for the last #SewMyStyle project of 2017 where we could pick any pattern from the latest Earth Science collection from Named Clothing to be our last piece! I love Named Patterns so I […]
The Harriet Lumberjacker by Named
I’ve given myself a few BIG projects to do this month (this was one of them) so blogging has taken a little bit of a backseat. I’m planning to post just once a week for a while whilst I get sorted out. Hopefully that’ll mean better (but just less frequent) content! For November’s Minerva Crafts […]
