I’m well aware that there are some people in my life who think I have a fairly “out there” style, but I’m so over caring what others think (in fact I know my brother is one of those people, and therefore I like to wear the most outrageous outfits when I see him!).

Confession time – I have never owned a pair of culottes. Even after everyone was wearing them last summer I never entertained sewing a pair, or even trying a pair on in the shops. I also didn’t actually set out to sew a pair of culottes this time around either, but it just kinda happened.… Continue reading My first culottes

I was pretty late to the Linden party, and after seeing lots and lots and lots of versions popping up on Instagram (@sewshesho I’m looking at you!), I… Continue reading My third and final Linden

I enjoyed wearing my midi skirt throughout the summer,… Continue reading A pink box pleat midi skirt
Just in case you thought you had seen the back of this wine coloured Abakhan’s fabric, today I’m back with a third make (after my maxi skirt and my shorts) in this fabric in this colourway (and there is still plenty left!). This time I’ve used the Anna bodice as a starting point and turned… Continue reading Anna top
