The Hyde T-Shirt extravaganza continues in my sewing room (which is my loungeroom). Sometimes when we release a pattern it takes a while for me to want to make it again because I’ve made so many already and I’m feeling a bit ‘over it’. https://flic.kr/p/2n6v4Xs Not so with the Hyde.. So much not so that…… Continue reading Wine Hyde twins

Striped merino Hyde
Yesterday I finished this merino Hyde T-Shirt and this morning it was just 5 degrees Celsius. Is my timing impeccable or what? https://flic.kr/p/2n6xJ95 This great striped merino is from Nick’s Fabrics in Auckland and comes in a variety of colourways. The selvedge edge was quite wavy and almost stretched out near the edges. It wasn’t…… Continue reading Striped merino Hyde
Drapey Hyde T-Shirt
The new Hyde T-Shirt from M&B comes with a View B which has a crossover back. It’s accessibility-minded but also just looks good. After Leila whipped hers up in black, I decided that this rich chocolatey bamboo would make a perfect version for me! I love how the back detail and the bamboo can skew…… Continue reading Drapey Hyde T-Shirt

Snoot & Hexham
How fortunate for me that greyhounds not only don’t mind wearing clothes, but actually need to wear clothes because they have such low body fat! I’m imagining that you’ll likely see some matching outfits in our future (not just because I’ve got leftover jacket fabrics that are just enough for a greyhound coat)! https://flic.kr/p/2mRqUih Fifey…… Continue reading Snoot & Hexham
Spotted Hexham Dress
The cocoon view of the new Muna and Boad Hexham Dress! What I’ve made here is View B with the cocoon hem, the long sleeves, and the T6 turtle cut into a mockneck (it’s half as high as a turtle). The Hexham Dress has 2 views, 3 sleeve lengths and 2 neck options (plus a…… Continue reading Spotted Hexham Dress
Pinkest Hexham Dress
This is my peak-summer dress and the pinkest Hexham Dress yet! There are 2 views, 3 sleeve lengths and 2 neck options (3 if you could a mockneck as being separate from a turtleneck) included in the pattern. What I went with here is the crewneck option, the shortest sleeve and the View A, which…… Continue reading Pinkest Hexham Dress
Ribbed Hexham
The Hexham Dress is the latest pattern from Muna and Broad (M&B email newsletter subscribers get 15% off during launch week)! The Hexham is a dress with options! For this one, I used the Turtleneck (T6), the longest sleeve, and View B (the cocoon option). https://flic.kr/p/2mMSLx5 Fabric & consumption The pattern calls for 2.3m of…… Continue reading Ribbed Hexham
Belemnite Dress
This week was the 2nd Birthday celebration of the Belemnite Dress from Marilla Walker. This dress has a couple of views and is available up to a 60″ hip. https://flic.kr/p/2mMB73v I can’t tell you anything about the project apart from that the dress looks lovely! Marilla sewed and sent me this very wearable dress toile…… Continue reading Belemnite Dress
Floral Faux Jumpsuit
The aim was a matching floral faux-jumpsuit, my inspiration was summer garden parties, or perhaps the kind of ensemble that one might wear to an outdoor wedding in the summer. The fabric didn’t necessarily scream ‘Jess’, but I was also quite drawn to it, so perhaps it actually did call my name (but more of…… Continue reading Floral Faux Jumpsuit
