I'm a sporadic sewist experimenting with creating my own wardrobe (as well as garments 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.

These are my #gingerjeans from 2017, which I don’t wear because the zip won’t stay up! Is this a fit issue, or is it the way I’ve installed the zip? And most importantly, what’s the fix for it? Thank you 🙏 #sewingrepairs #memadejeans #diywardrobe
Orange? Why not. Although not for me. 😬. A spot of secret squirrel sewing for someone with an 8th birthday coming up soon who will keep on growing out of all his shorts.. #neonnotions #sewingforkids
When it takes you so long to get around to your mending that the original garment has faded in the wash...
I haven’t been feeling very Instagrammy lately - a combination of the lockdown situation and a busy time at work. But the springier weather is helping so here’s something I made earlier I can share.
