Discovery Fabrics in Canada recently sent me some of their Sage Caress Athletic Fabric and Black Yoga Stretch Fabric to test out with the M&B Loxton Leggings. Discovery are incredibly well stocked with activewear, and specialist outdoorsy fabric, but their leggings fabric was what was most interesting to me. https://flic.kr/p/2qtdNvC These are made from their…… Continue reading Ultimate Leggings?

Sage Loxton
Sometimes a pattern creeps up on you, and in spite of putting off releasing a leggings pattern for years, 4 more pairs of Loxton Leggings have recently entered my wardrobe! https://flic.kr/p/2qtdui9 This sage green fabric is Sage Caress Athletic Fabric from Discovery Fabrics in Canada, who kindly sent me two of their leggings fabrics to…… Continue reading Sage Loxton
Good Tiemes Tee
I had seen it pop up on Instagram and I had to try it, the Good Tiemes Tee from Forest & Thread. I’m wearing it here with my Ecovero Whitlam Skirt! https://flic.kr/p/2pxXdUM I nabbed this khaki marle viscose knit from Backstreet Bargains and it’s not really stretchy enough for any of our M&B knit top…… Continue reading Good Tiemes Tee
Hot pink Willandra
I’ve whipped up a new pair of M&B Willandra Pants in Fine Cloth Company hot pink tencel because I fell in love with the pattern all over again when I took some photos in my ancient plum Willandra earlier in the month. https://flic.kr/p/2ptAksv https://flic.kr/p/2ptAksR I’m wearing them above with pink lemonade linen which I made…… Continue reading Hot pink Willandra
Ancient Willandra Pants
I pulled out these ancient plum Willandra Pants during a wardrobe clean this month and remembered how much I enjoy these fancy pants. https://flic.kr/p/2ps5gcE These plum Willandra were made before I had a rotary cutter and an overlocker, so the insides are zig-zag finished and I did a bias bound edge on the pocket bags.…… Continue reading Ancient Willandra Pants
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
Black Sculthorpe
It’s a bit of a blast-from-the-past to be only just now adding these Sculthorpe Pants from 2019 or 2020 to the blog, but I really do feel that they deserve their own space and explanation: these are my favourite pants that I hate. https://flic.kr/p/2ps6EsN This black canvas has worn in and washed up a treat…… Continue reading Black Sculthorpe
Whitlam Skirt trio
This is a little ode to the Muna and Broad Whitlam Skirt- a pattern I didn’t know I needed, and that I would not have predicted would become my go-to ‘make me feel good’ garment! https://flic.kr/p/2ogZkqv https://flic.kr/p/2ogWE3c Above is one of my original Whitlams, made in squiggle-printed ecovero jersey from Spotlight (no longer available). The grey…… Continue reading Whitlam Skirt trio
Plantain Tee Plus
I whipped up the free Deer and Doe Plantain T-shirt which has relatively-recently been updated to include their extended sizing, up to a 60″ hip. Meg from Cookin’ and Craftin’ made this back in 2014 before the expanded sizing was a twinkle in Deer and Doe’s eyes, and it seemed high time that I test…… Continue reading Plantain Tee Plus
Jacquard gauze Pyrmont
This is my 3rd Pyrmont Skirt from Muna and Broad and is the only one I’ve made that isn’t brown! You can see the spotty brown one here, and non-spotted brown one here. During the launch week M&B email newsletter subscribers have 15% off the Pyrmont and M&B Patreon Insiders and Makers save 25% on…… Continue reading Jacquard gauze Pyrmont
