Big reveal time…

The Callie Casual Carry Sling bag is such a cute little bag for carrying your essentials. It’s a quick and easy sew, great for those like me, who needed an icebreaker after a slight hiatus from bag making.

I made it using faux suede and 100% cotton and have another already cut out using vinyl.

It’s currently on offer on the website: https://www.ellieandmac.com/products/callie-casual-carry-sling-bag-sewing-pattern

Finished my summer dress in time for winter 😅 Although pair it with some knee high boots, tights and a big cardy and I’m sure it’ll be wearable over winter.

Because I started this about 2-3 months ago, it doesn’t fit and I didn’t have the energy to fix it. It’s a nice, easy make so I’ll size down next time I make one.

The brain feels happy to have finished something!

Making some shorts using some of .and.roar.designs “Storm” design. It’s never difficult to choose what to make with Gemma’s designs as they’re always so vibrant and fun, it’s why I’d love to be one her reps.

However, I’m stuck about which binding to use and now I’m questioning if I should do different colour undershorts! I’ll keep this about the binding for now though.

Which binding do you like best? Place your votes and help me out please 🙏

Back sewing again after a week break. I didn’t find a single habby shop in France! To be fair though, I spent most of it at the beach instead of hunting for fabric.

As soon as I saw this design, I knew it was going to be a new scrub top for my main earner. It’s come out really well!

Stretch fabric dream team ✨

Properly geeking out over the machines! 🤓 I’m still trying to get used to the projector - I keep going back to printing my PDF patterns. Old habits die hard, I guess!

Some pre-holiday sewing as the big kid needs shorts and leggings. I wonder if we’ll find any sewing machine, fabric and habby shops in Normandy? 🤔

Pretty necklines, sleeves and hems.

A quick, easy sew of the Classic Tee for my eldest last night. I’m looking forward to getting creative with solids and binding over winter.

Work is intense at the moment so simple sews like this really help me unwind. That and 27 mile bimbles in the countryside! 🏃‍♀️ ⛰️ 🪡

Fabric: cotton jersey - a long time deep stash dig out so no clue where I got it from.
