Squiggle City

I’ve been sewing up a little storm recently as we prepare to release Muna and Broad’s 30th pattern (not pictured here) and as I put together a small travel capsule for an upcoming weekend in Wellington for Camp Boom (capsule also not pictured here). A gaggle of Atrax I’ve sewn up a little collection of…… Continue reading Squiggle City

M&B Dresses

Muna and Broad is celebrating our 3rd birthday and we’ve shared 5 days of prompts for folks to share their M&B makes on Instagram!

M&B Outers

Muna and Broad is celebrating our 3rd birthday and we’ve shared 5 days of prompts for folks to share their M&B makes on Instagram! After pants day, we celebrate outer layers day! https://flic.kr/p/2jnjtUp Our first outerwear pattern was the Mallee Jacket, which was designed with boiled wool in mind.

Bishop Melba Top

A little while ago I shared this Melba Dress sewing fail on Instagram- a sad outcome for this deep stash linen which I cut into far too haphazardly. With the bold sleeves and the red colour, it felt like something I should be wearing as a church chorister. View this post on Instagram A post…… Continue reading Bishop Melba Top

Red and pink combo

Pinterest can attest to my love of pink and red combos, but my wardrobe couldn’t, until now. Inspired by this post from The Fine Cloth Company which showed their candy apple red and bubblegum pink linens combined into a tiered dress, I went ahead and purchased The Exact Same Fabrics for my own colourblock adventure…… Continue reading Red and pink combo

Pale Peach Waikerie

Back in July last year I made a couple of hacked Waikerie Shirts from Fine Cloth Company linen. I made a gathered mocha Waikerie and this breast pocketed peach Waikerie. While the mocha Waikerie got a lot of wear, this peach shirt has been somewhat spurned. https://flic.kr/p/2nNP1Dw The mocha linen was a slightly heavier weight…… Continue reading Pale Peach Waikerie
