Nautical Stripes Velvet Whales Lark Tee by Grainline Studio

When we received this amazing yarn died red stripes with with raised velvet whales, I could't wait to sew a cute nautical top before our little trip to Porto at Easter.

I decided to make another Lark Tee from Grainline studio. I love that pattern! It's simple and fits well, and I made quite a few versions already so that pattern is traced and it's always a quick and pleasurable make.

Tilly and the Buttons Jessa Shorts in Gold Dots Denim Chambray

With the launch of Tilly and the Buttons two new patterns, I got on with the sewing straight away! The Jessa shorts pattern was easy to follow so with the right fabric and haberdashery, it didn't take me long until I was wearing them in my garden!

Tilly and the Buttons Romy top in Candy Rainbow Stripes Jersey

Check out my new candy stripe top made with Tilly and the Buttons new pattern, the Romy top. I made the long sleeve version this time but I really like the style and fit so will be making a short sleeve version next!

Golden Bees Lark Tee

We have received a ridiculous amount of amazing fabrics the last few days and this gorgeous golden bees set were amongst them. I did dot wait 1 second before I started a new sewing project!

Casey Sweater

The Casey Sweater is a pretty pullover sweater with button details at the confy cowl neck, long shaped cuffs and comfortable deep pockets. It is a fun make and has easily become my favourite jumper!

Tilly and the Buttons Eden Rainbow & Raindrops Jacket

We have recently started started stocking ALL the Tilly and the Buttons Patterns in our Shop and last week was also the release of the new pattern Eden coat.

Tilly and the Buttons Joni Dress in Silver Dots

When we received this fabric, I knew it had to be turned into a dress. I wasn't sure of what pattern or if I wanted a whole dress in it or just a skirt. The fabric is perfect for a party dress when you can dance and bounce all night! but still look glamorous in your glitzy number.

Pom Pom Christmas Tree Skirt

Here is a little project I made the other day. It was super quick to make and perfect for using up remnants or fat quarter bundles!

Linen Cloud Rocking Chair

Monica recently upcycled a tired old rocking chair for our home. See how she used a cloud themed canvas fabric, our large bias piping and a little TLC to great affect.
