Dressmaking Patterns

Esther’s Ultimate Shirt

There's just something about this month's poplin that has my heart, it may have to do with the light pink colour or the lovely black shapes, it may also just be the weight of the fabric. But if I'm to guess, I'll say it's all three of them. 

Gemma’s Patina Blouse

Now that the boxes have changed to having a 1m piece of fabric instead of Fat Quarters, there are lots more opportunities to get creative with garments that you can make with smaller amounts. 

Movie Magic; Halloween Pattern Inspiration

Spooky season is upon us and I love a Halloween inspired movie - perfect for snuggling up with a warm blanket and hot chocolate on those cold, autumnal evenings.

Laura’s Haut Vol Dress

I am writing this currently wearing a big jumper, I am still firmly holding out for some nice, warm weather to get my gams out! That means all I want to make are cute twirly dresses.

Esthers Anthea Blouse

The cotton poplin from February's Classic Box works so well at holding the puff sleeves of the Anna Allen Anthea Blouse that Esther made this month.

Interview; Workshop Patterns

October's Sew Retro themed Luxury boxes included the gorgeous Alex Jumpsuit pattern from Workshop, a stunning pattern company, fabric shop and sewing cafe company based in Headingley Leeds. I caught up with company owner Aliss for a feature in the accompanying magazine.
