Terry Meets Julie 26 Aug 2013 | 04:43 pm

Ahoy there, Captain! 24 Aug 2013 | 11:45 pm
I am on a very British holiday, in a very British locale – the Isle of Wight. An island just off the south coast of Britain. Jimi Hendrix once played here and you can definitely pick up on the slightl...
Fabric Focus – Corduroy 21 Aug 2013 | 11:53 am

An Idiot’s Guide To Working With Satin 6 Aug 2013 | 02:16 am
I don’t sew for friends. Or if I do, consider yourself a really good friend. Someone dear to me recently requested a simple bat wing dress in a solid red for a wedding she was attending – in two weeks...
The Anna Dress Goes Walkabout 3 Aug 2013 | 03:10 pm
I’m all for multi-tasking, so Ella’s morning walk became a chance to snap my second version of the Anna Dress. I used Indian Hand Wood Blocked Cotton, bought from Our Patterned Hand in Bethnal Green. ...
