Torrens Box Top from Muna & Broad
Torrens Box top from Muna & Broad with the free Glebe Pants pattern from Muna & Broad I’ve been saving this gorgeous rayon from Drapers Fabric for the perfect project. I’m happy to say that I’m really pleased with the usage here, and I think I’ll have enough leftover for a summer shell top (maybe…… Continue reading Torrens Box Top from Muna & Broad
Glebe Pants in deadstock rayon
Edit: The Glebe Pants are now available to purchase in our extended size range over at Muna and Broad.com! I wanted to try @Leila_Sews’ Glebe Pants pattern in a lightweight, rayon fabric to see how the pattern fared. I found 5 metres of this fabric for $15 at a fabric remnant sale of a Christchurch…… Continue reading Glebe Pants in deadstock rayon
Silk Noil Eme Box Top
I was on the hunt for close-to-home silk noil fabric when a lovely instagrammer suggested taking a look at A + R Fabrics (who are based out of Australia). I’m always a sucker for a minimal white website, but since I’d recently purchased some black silk noil from Canada, I got in touch to see…… Continue reading Silk Noil Eme Box Top

Zadie Jumpsuit in Marsala Linen
I’ve been planning my second Zadie Jumpsuit from Paper Theory since before I finished my testing toile version. This project has sat next to my sewing table for months- it was cut out and ready to sew, since the week that the fabric arrived by post. Since the weather has started to warm up, it…… Continue reading Zadie Jumpsuit in Marsala Linen
Silk Noil Eme top hack
Recently the lovely Michelle from Matchpoint Fabric celebrated a birthday by having a sale and it was all the excuse I needed to order myself some of her silk noil fabric that I hadn’t been able to find closer to home! Although I’m pretty sure that I played a large part in her silk noil…… Continue reading Silk Noil Eme top hack
Stylearc Eme Dress in Tencel
Stylearc’s Eme Dress is touted as the roundneck sister dress to their popular Adeline Dress (which I’ve made so many versions of)! Stylearc sent me a copy of the Eme multi-size printed pattern, but quite ironically I thought I’d sew a straight size 22 and I don’t think I’ll bother grading for my (inevitable) next…… Continue reading Stylearc Eme Dress in Tencel
Cashmerette Montrose: Picnic Edition
I’m amassing a collection of hacked Cashmerette Montrose Tops for workwear since I can now easily cut-out and sew one of these in about half a day. I’ve added neckline facings, which cuts down enormously on the time (I find bias binding to be a huge bummer). This Cotton Herringbone from The Fabric Store was…… Continue reading Cashmerette Montrose: Picnic Edition
Amarante double gauze Montrose
This gorgeous double gauze, ‘Stardust Amarante’, came from Miss Maude in New Zealand’s North Island and its usage in combination with the Montrose is entirely inspired by/plagiarised from Plum Kitchen who made this exact top in the mustard colourway (she actually has tonnes of inspiring Montrose tops (and other clothes), you should definitely check out…… Continue reading Amarante double gauze Montrose
