In true Brit-style, allow me to talk about the weather for five minutes, because it snowed and that’s just what we do! So after a remarkably warm Christmas Eve and Christmas Day, we finally got our white Christmas, just a few days too late. We’d had a really pretty chilly December with a few days…
I’ve finally finally got another sewing post to share with you! Up until about a month ago, sewing had been on the backburner for me – I was prioritising other parts of my life and spending time elsewhere. I was also mending items for people, got asked to do some pattern testing and not really doing any…
So confession time – we have reached the end of the Style Challenge! When I started doing this mini challenge for myself, it was to get myself back into the habit of regularly taking and posting outfit photos, not over-worrying about whether the outfit was blog-worthy and whether the photos were “magazine style”. I didn’t…
Back onto the Style Challenge – take a look at all these posts here! The only problem with the fact that I’m keeping up with taking these photos is that I’ve got too much blog content – not a problem I thought I’d be having any time soon! I’m having to do two posts a day…
I came across a sewing pattern for a cape, McCalls 3542, in a local charity shop for 50p back in March but decided to stash it away until the weather got a bit cooler and I’d actually need to wear one. So finally a couple of weeks ago, I pulled the pattern back out again and…
Tartan Shift Dress: Handmade (Shift Dress Pattern via Sew Your Own Wardrobe: Great British Sewing Bee Book; Tartan fabric: Boyes) Green Cardigan: George at ASDA Heels: ASOS Recently I started sewing! I mean, I sort knew a bit before, and by that I mean I had sewing lessons at school swapped in for netball every…
Does anyone remember the Awkward and Awesome Thursdays that Syndey at The Daybook used to do? I feel like I should definitely start doing those – although I highly doubt I will stick to Thursdays considering I only just manage to keep a monthly post on books going let alone a weekly one! Well the tartan…
This is something new – an outfit post on the day I wore the outfit! Go me! Anyway, there are a few new items in this post you haven’t seen before, including the tartan dress which is brand new – I bought it yesterday! Over the weekend, Ben and I went down to the Peak…
At the start of the week, Ben and I got stuck at home because of all the snow that’s hit the UK recently! Most places around the UK didn’t get snow until the end of last week, but if you remember back to my last post, we had snow over a week before that! It…
A couple of weeks ago marked a fairly momentous occasion for me: dusting off the sewing machine and getting to work with it again. Those of you who have been around here a while will know about my obsession with sewing that started back in 2014 when I picked up a sewing pattern and bought…
Another productive week under my belt – I’m just wondering when this streak will end?! It started with a pair of new pyjamas and a takeaway with a couple of friends. As I’ve said a couple of times already, I’m trying hard to push through any after work lethargy and see friends when I can…
“I think I’ll just wear jeans and a nice top” has become a bit of a staple phrase for me over the past year or so. While I used to always have a dress on hand for every occasion, and usually a slightly over the top for the occasion pin-up style one, nowadays I’m veering…
