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.

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.
It’s the season for snuggly jumpers and this one has been the longest coming of any of my makes to date.
