Since the Sagebrush Top showed me that I do indeed like ruffles I viewed some of the older patterns in my magazine collection in a new light. Enter the Chrystal Top. Initially, I didn’t fancy cutting out all those pattern pieces, but I am glad I persevered because I really enjoy the finished top. I … More La Maison Victor Chrystal Top
A local fabric store put out a giveaway box of fabric remnants, so I grabbed some and made clothes for my daughter. I know I put in time and effort and elctricity and yada yada yada but I consider these clothes free! Well apart from the handful of Euros I had to invest in the … More Three pieces of clothing for the price of one zipper
I have been following Anna Graham’s pattern releases for years now, and after making several smaller items from her book, I finally went for the Pepin Tote as a big project. I liked the clean look, the functional pockets and the fact that the bag has a recessed zipper. So I ordered the paper pattern … More Pepin Tote by Noodlehead Patterns
Long time no blog, but you’re in for a treat. I have been quite smitten with the Sagebrush Top for quite a while, but I hestitated hitting the buy button because I wasn’t sure whether I am into ruffles. To cut a long story short, I obviously bought the pattern and what can I say- … More Friday Pattern Company- Sagebrush Top
The Molly Jacket is my first Fibre Mood make and I don’t think it will be my last. I bought the 13/2021 magazine and there were 3 patterns I fancied and two more which I think can come in useful, so that’s a pretty good bargain. I was attracted to the Molly Jacket because it … More Molly Jacket- Fibre Mood
I’ve been sitting on this fabric (a tana lawn which I bought on my last trip to England) for 5 years. It has always been very precious to me and I only had 1,50 metres. Since it was quite narrow, a dress was out of the question, but after my first two Libby Shirts it … More William Morris Libby Shirt-Sew Over It
I made a coat! I made a coat! I made a coat! Please imagine me hopping around in circles. Of course dressed in my brand new wool coat- a Sew Over It Chloe Coat. I have been sewing for years now, which means I have a generous amount of handmade (and storebought) skirts, tops and … More I MADE A COAT! AND IT FITS! YES, IT TOOK AGES!
Remember when a few posts back I complained how many alterations had to go into my SOI Kitty dress? Remember that at the end of that post I was wondering what would await me when making the Esther Blouse? Well, enter Esther. I think this a very clever and beautiful design. It really stood out … More Sew Over It Esther Blouse
I made this quilt for my daughter’s 12th birthday and I am head over heels in love with it. I hope she will treat it as a family heirloom for decades to come. Many months ago, my bag of woven fabric scraps was so overfilled, that I deceided to start working on a patchwork quilt … More A Proper Patchwork Quilt
This dress took literal days to make. I am not a devoted follower of brands, like some sewists who made nearly all patterns of one company . I follow some blogs, I check out the pattern releases of a number of indie designers, buy the odd Ottobre or La Maison Victor magazine. But if I … More Sew Over It Kitty- A Labour of Love
