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

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.
