Just a Heads Up
Hello my lovely readers! I just wanted to let you know that lots of things are going on behind the scenes here. I am in theprocess of moving to Wordpress.

I'm doing the move myself and have never used Wordpress before, so I apologise for any downtime or odd ...
Sew Fab – Long Beach Boardies
Oh, how I love these! You can't go wrong with some 'business in the front, party in the back' clothes for kids. These shorts are certainly a bit of fun!

It's a great pattern with an awesome size ...
Your Versions of The Big Tote Bag Pattern
Some of my clever readers have been making gorgeous versions of my Big Tote Bag Pattern so I wanted to show off a few of their makes. I always love seeing items people have made using my patterns and tutorials. I get such a rush and it almost feels like I made them too! One clever lady even made a mini version, printing the pattern at 50%. It was so cute! I am so in love ...
Sew Fab – Laurel Tunic/Dress…well top!
This was a fun sewing project for a few reasons. First off, I bought the fabric at the op shop (thrift store). It's a merino baby rib knit and cost $4! What a score! It was an odd shape, obviously left over from someone else's past sewing project. It also had a couple little holes in it and a stain or two, so it was a fun challenge to get all the pieces cut out of it. I changed ...

It feels like ages since I did some fun sewing for myself and boy did I have fun with this! The pattern I've used from the Sew Fab Bundle is the Leather Accent Fold Over Pouch from LBG Studio.

Fashion Revolution Day: Handmade #insideout
Today is Fashion Revolution's #insideout day! My #insideout outfit today is also a #handmadeinsideout outfit. The coat is my blanket coat, made from an old woolen blanket, my tee was made from two of hubbies old team building tops and I knitted the hat. As you can see, I don't always put the right coloured thread in my machine, but then that's one of the charms of me-made ...
My Leather Slouch Bag
I think this is probably the coolest thing I have ever made! I can't believe I have sewn something with leather and it looks like a real bag! Am I talking this up too much? Take a look while I tell you all the details... Ages ago, the lovely Chris from Chris W Designs sent me her Snazzy Slouch pattern to review. I had a thought in the back of my mind that it would be ...
