  • Now moving into outerwear makes! @simplicity_creative_group #s8742 has been on my radar ever since I saw it released. Using a wool blend fabric that I bought from my visit to the #knittingandstitchingshow 2 years ago now 😅 

Nothing major to report sewing up this cardigan. It’s incredibly simple to put together. I chose view B with the shawl collar only lengthened it slightly to knee level. I love the cuff details and the big pockets which you can line for more support. A must have in any wardrobe for all seasons!

  • In a bid to stretch my sewing muscles 💪🏾 I do like to go for a bit of a challenge. Actually if I’m honest, I prefer the meatier projects compared to the easier ones. But let me tell you about this twist dress from @burda_style #b6442 here 😩

Ok it wasn’t terrible to put together but it did have me scratching my head working out to assemble the twist. But managed to get there in the end by rereading the instructions like 💯💯💯💯💯 times 🤯 but I like that it sits on my natural waist despite the fact that you can’t alter the bodice pieces.
The neckline is deeep so I’ve tacked it in place. I also shortened the hem by a few inches. I think they’ve drafted this for tall bodies.
For reference I cut a size 12  no adjustments. 

Fabric - Floral Stretch Crepe from @minervadotcom (if you haven’t seen their new website, it looks soooo good!)

  • You guys were absolutely amazing on my last post! 🤗❤️
So I guess it’s not a bad thing to show you the next make from the same fabric right?

This dress from @burda_style #b6423 was surprisingly an easy one to put together. Very form fitting due to the panels and a very flattering sweetheart neckline. I shortened the bodice by an 1” due to my short torso and also shortened the hem by a few inches (I think this drafted for a quite a tall body). I cut a size 12 and omitted the zip as the fabric is a stretch crepe from @minervadotcom . A little snug but just fine. I did have a 🤨 moment with the finishing technique for the strap but I just did it my way.

  • I went back and forth about whether to post this dress...

Mainly because it’s waaaay out of my comfort zone, mainly the length 😂 nothing that a pair of tights won’t fix! But I’m definitely exploring the lengths and style lines that look the most flattering (@pinkmimosabyjacinta do you approve of this mini? 😂)This is the 2nd of pattern from Cynthia Rowley’s Simplicity #s8599 and I gotta say from the fabric alone, it definitely fits in with the theme.

  • If Autumn was a dress, this one would be it for sure.

This fabric was destined to become such a garment when I picked it up 2 years ago (I say with no shame whatsoever ✊🏾) and when the time came @mccallpatterncompany #m7802 was the pattern I chose to go with. Very simple to put together and is very flattering. This has already had its first outing paired with tights,ankle boots and a cardigan on top. Absolutely love how it looks.

  • I got serious Monday blues vibes with this Vogue #v1503 blouse. This one is a little different from my standard top patterns I own. Here you have in seam pockets and a slightly asymmetrical button band. 

I was very intrigued by this pattern that I have made this in 2 other colours playing around with patterns and prints. I would definitely put this is an intermediate level due to how the pockets are constructed but if you reallly want to launch yourself out of your comfort zone, go right on ahead! Great casual addition to any wardrobe.
