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.

Sometimes a sewing room sort-out is good for the soul... #sewingroom #tidyingup #fabricstash
Can anyone recommend a printer that’s great for printing PDF patterns and not too expensive to refill? My current one (pictured) is terrible at PDF patterns - every piece ends up a tiny little bit out so I always go for patterns with copyshop options but that doesn’t always cut it when I want a new pattern now, now, now!
Here’s another shot of the penguin sweatshirt, modelled by its owner. This is his ‘penguin rock star’ pose apparently! And although in the previous photo it looks perfectly turned out, in this one you can see that the collar is standing up a bit (!) Ah well, nobody’s perfect. Least of all me.

Penguins, penguins everywhere – if you look closely. New on the blog: a wintery sweatshirt for my 5-year old. And why making a sweatshirt from a t-shirt pattern isn’t always a breeze! (Link in profile)
