It's been a while, hasn't it? I've still been making, but I just haven't made the time to post. Plus Bloglovin' disappeared, which pulled the rug out from under me a bit - I really loved following other blogs through it and now I'm stuck with Instagram, which let's face it, is shit. I need… Continue reading Snake Trail Crib Quilt

Sawtooth Bars and Gingham baby quilts
The more quilts I make, the more I enjoy it, it's like garment sewing's less stressful friend. Don't get me wrong, I think sewing clothes will always be mainly what I do, because there are only so many quilts you need in your life. These aren't for me though, so that's ok, in fact they're… Continue reading Sawtooth Bars and Gingham baby quilts
A Cosy Paper Theory Olya Shirtdress
Well here I am again with a new make! With the usual length of time having elapsed between the pattern release and me actually making it, I can't say I have anything new to say about the Olya Shirtdress. Still, it's nice to be back blogging again, so here it is. After how washed-out last… Continue reading A Cosy Paper Theory Olya Shirtdress
Scrappy Kabuki Tee
Also finally getting round to experimenting with my actual camera... Hey there! I hope 2021 isn't getting you down too much already, though I realise that's a pretty big ask... I'm suffering, as usual, from an extreme lack of sewing time, which is one of the reasons I love this top - in over 10… Continue reading Scrappy Kabuki Tee
Rail Fence
Hello lovely readers - it's been a while, hasn't it? I hope you're all still hanging in there and you have my deepest sympathy for any losses this past year. I'm still here, but I've been busy and stressed, none of which make for productive sewing time, and I've shied away from blogging because of… Continue reading Rail Fence
A Scrappy Finish – Naturally Dyed Linen Mini-Quilt
Hey there! I hope you're all hanging in there wherever you are. I'm working at home while in theory home-schooling my children (in fact they're upstairs playing, if anyone yells I may go up, but otherwise? Uh-uh.) At least there's no danger I'll go short of projects... A while (a long while) ago, I tried… Continue reading A Scrappy Finish – Naturally Dyed Linen Mini-Quilt
A night sky quilt for Evelyn
Oh hey there! So I finished something, and it's only a year late, which is good. It's a wholecloth quilt for our god-daughter, who we don't see as much as we'd like (they live quite a way away), so it's lovely to make her something she'll hopefully have for a while. No full-length shots, as… Continue reading A night sky quilt for Evelyn
Closet Case Bombshell Bikini
Well, only bikini bottoms, but as it turns out it's possible to buy a perfectly adequate bikini top, thus saving myself from trying to make one a week before going on holiday. So I did. But the bottom half is all mine! These are View C of Closet Case Patterns Bombshell swimsuit; high-waisted ruched bikini… Continue reading Closet Case Bombshell Bikini
Amy’s Gypsy Wife Quilt (top…)
From the start of the year through to April I joined in with a quilt-along of Jen Kingwell's famous Gypsy Wife Quilt, hosted by Rachel (Stitched in Color) and Kelli (Scrappy Violet). I wanted to make a dent in my stack of smaller cuts of quilting fabric, as over the years I've amassed *ahem* quite… Continue reading Amy’s Gypsy Wife Quilt (top…)
Scrappy Hexies
Just one of the slow-burning WIPs lurking around the house! After I finished my Southern Sunset clamshell quilt, I still had quite a few scraps of the floral fabrics left over, because clamshells are a really awkward shape to cut, and I had cut them from quite small/oddly-shaped bits to start with. One of the reasons… Continue reading Scrappy Hexies
