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.

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?
