This past weekend was a long weekend and I entered peak flow and undertook a cutting-out-and-sewing extravaganza! I cut out 2 pairs of Glebe Pants (not pictured) and 3 Torrens Box Tops. I’ve had these 2 wine coloured fabrics in my stash waiting to become a Torrens for a while now, and I figured that…… Continue reading Double wine Torrens

Dulcie Boxer Briefs
The Dulcie Boxer Briefs are new from Leila and me and they’re basically my ideal boxer short, which happens to be the perfect chub rub short! They’re also 15% off during launch week, no discount necessary! Kits containing everything you need for the Dulcie and also the custom M&B elastic on its own is available…… Continue reading Dulcie Boxer Briefs
Chalk and Notch Max
It’s not very often that I see a pattern for the first time and sew up a pattern that same day.. Mostly because the vast majority of my makes are Muna and Broad, and I see those before I get to sew them (and I don’t have to buy the patterns). I spotted this pink…… Continue reading Chalk and Notch Max
Gum leaf Huon Dress
This is my second project with the new exclusive printed fabrics from MaaiDesign. I’ve used their long gum leaf print for this Muna and Broad Huon Dress and the snow gum print for a Muna and Broad Waikerie Shirt (which I shared here). https://flic.kr/p/2narQua Similar to the Waikerie Shirt I just made, I sized this…… Continue reading Gum leaf Huon Dress
Snow gum blue Waikerie
When Maaidesign got in touch to ask if I wanted to try some of their new exclusive fabrics, some of which had Australian gum leaf prints, I was in. You might have noticed that I have a collection of Australian botanicals on my arms, so I was particularly taken with the long gum leaf print…… Continue reading Snow gum blue Waikerie
Pink Belmore combos
My pink boiled wool Belmore Jacket was whipped up on a bit of a whim to wear to a concert (as part of this ensemble), but has since become one of my most-worn layers! https://flic.kr/p/2n8ZTE1 Belmore Jacket and corduroy Glebe Pants After I had made the jacket I’d actually discovered that I’d had a swatch…… Continue reading Pink Belmore combos
Huge pocket Belmore
It’s Autumn, which means I need huge pockets to gather all the pears and peaches I find on my walk (sometimes even Glebe Pockets simply won’t do). So, this Belmore Jacket hack (which I’ve been imagining for ages) finally came to fruition! https://flic.kr/p/2n7Yj1F These huge pockets basically span the width of the front body piece,…… Continue reading Huge pocket Belmore
Wine Hyde twins
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
