Sliced Atrax Top
https://flic.kr/p/2ruAxRB I had a plan to rescue a knit dress by using a fabric slashing technique I had seen in Instagram where you layer fabrics, stitching them on and then cut the extra layers open.I thought I’d better give it a go on a smaller item before I commited to a whole dress, and I’m…… Continue reading Sliced Atrax Top
Eileen Barrel Pants
The Eileen Barrel Pants are the latest pattern from Muna and Broad, and email newsletter subscribers get 15% off all pants patterns during launch week. With a slight barrel shape, a dropped crotch, generous patch pockets (front and back), a faux-fly, and a great darted back, the Eileen Barrel Pants hit that nice spot of…… Continue reading Eileen Barrel Pants
Campsie Dress
Not content to leave well enough alone, I went on a sewing adventure to morph the lovely fitting, set-in-shoulder, bust-darted Campsie Top into the sackiest of dresses! https://flic.kr/p/2qpgsNP Partly an excuse to use and photograph the September Patreon Campsie Sleeve bonus pattern, and partly an attempt to dupe that viral Zara Dress from 2019, I…… Continue reading Campsie Dress
Make by TFS Fog Tee
https://flic.kr/p/2pX4neN I’ve been thinking for a while about alternative necklines which let me skip inserting a neck binding- even when it goes well, it can so easily have not gone well. So when I spotted the Make by TFS Fog Tee on Sara from @fabric_scraps, I thought ‘that’s what I’ll do’! Since Sara and I…… Continue reading Make by TFS Fog Tee
Plums and cream
This is another outfit blast-from-the-past with two makes from times-gone-past paired together for the first time. This natural fibre blend creamy gingham Torrens Box Top never got the wore it deserved and these plum Willandra Pants have recently been rediscovered- I keep forgetting how great those drapey legs look. https://flic.kr/p/2prYQeC This is also the first…… Continue reading Plums and cream
Results of check-in
I recently posted my ‘Wardrobe check-in’ method for auditing my wardrobe based on recent wears (and attempted wears). I posted this a couple of weeks ago and then ruminated on my wears, and here’s the results: Items I’ve worn multiple times over the past week RTW Jeans Alistra toile T-shirt Pembroke merino T-shirt Black Banksia…… Continue reading Results of check-in
Improv quilt No.1
I signed up for the free Improv Curves Scrap Play 2023 from Sherri Lynn Wood, watching it back quite a while after it was live because I wasn’t quite keen enough for some 6am improv in the NZ time zone. You can still sign up for the class and watch it back as I’ve done…… Continue reading Improv quilt No.1
Pink Sculthorpe
Muna and Broad’s 3rd Birthday celebration saw a lot of our makes popping up in my feed and gave me a lot of inspiration! I saw a lovely pair of pink Birchgroves (see them here) and it was the inspiration I needed to finally make myself a new pair of Sculthorpe Pants! It’s been a…… Continue reading Pink Sculthorpe
M&B pants
At Muna and Broad we’re celebrating our 3rd birthday and we’ve shared 5 days of prompts for folks to share their M&B makes on Instagram! Up first, pants day! What better time to delve through the archive for vintage pants (3 years old is vintage now). https://flic.kr/p/2hqKo98 https://flic.kr/p/2hu1YXL https://flic.kr/p/2igsuvG Above, our first pants pattern, the…… Continue reading M&B pants
