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.

I’ve never used one of these before! Any tips welcome 🙏 #rotarycutter #dosomethingeverydaythatscaresyou
I didn’t much feel like knitting on holiday this year so I took something a bit different and even slower... #worcestershireemblem #embroidery #tinystitches
Anyone else got that back to school feeling at the moment? 
It’s inspired me to get a move on with the next step in my #curatedcloset project – analysing how I spend my time and how my wardrobe matches up to that (spoiler – it doesn’t!) Plus my inner geek loves a good pie chart. 🤓

More info and chat about what it means for my To Sew list can be found in a new post on my blog, along with the other posts in my Curated Closet series so far – link in profile. Where are the biggest gaps in your wardrobe right now?

Eeek. This Liberty tana lawn somehow ended up on my sewing table. 🤭 Florals aren’t my usual style, but I think this’ll make great luxe PJs. One question: if you were pairing this with piping, what colour would you choose? #libertyfabric
