I'm an apprentice sewist experimenting with creating my own wardrobe (as well as makes for family members). I'd like to get to know other sewists who love to make great clothes you just can't find in the shops - and who are as obsessed by fit as I am.

When you have absolutely no idea what colour thread to use... Brown? Purple? Beige? Blue? 🤷‍♀️ #plaid #tartan #memadeeveryday #worcestershiresews #cosysewing #matchingthread
#stormciara has put me in the mood to stay in PJs all day tomorrow. No way will these be ready in time but I might as well get started. And I’ve said this a lot - but I do wish more indie pattern designers would include lengthen and shorten lines as standard. Pretty please @sewoveritlondon ?#soiultimatepyjamas #comfysewing #sewcake #sewingtall #instasewing #imakemyownclothes
After some time away from regular sewing (and sewing Instagram – did I miss anything?) over the winter, the bright sunshine today has got me inspired to try something new, and a bit more precision! 
This is the pocket on an extra-long #blackwoodcardigan in charcoal ponte roma fabric. It’s also really, really hard to photograph!

I’ve finished something – hurrah! This shirt for Mr Wardrobe has been a long time coming, but it’s finally done. I’m still not sure if it’s going to get worn though – it might not be his style any more! More details, and a handful more pictures are now on my blog (link in profile)
 It’s a @threadtheorydesigns Fairfield shirt in lovely organic cotton gingham from the Organic Textile Company and @thedrapersdaughter.
