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
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
Striped Hyde T-Shirt
The latest pattern from Leila and I through Muna and Broad is now here. The Hyde T-Shirt has a dropped shoulder and a couple of views, and is 15% off during launch week, no code necessary. https://flic.kr/p/2n3ntnJ I wanted a boxy t-shirt and Leila delivered! I’ve been wearing my toiles a lot while heading out…… Continue reading Striped Hyde T-Shirt
Floral Faux Jumpsuit
The aim was a matching floral faux-jumpsuit, my inspiration was summer garden parties, or perhaps the kind of ensemble that one might wear to an outdoor wedding in the summer. The fabric didn’t necessarily scream ‘Jess’, but I was also quite drawn to it, so perhaps it actually did call my name (but more of…… Continue reading Floral Faux Jumpsuit
Cobden Chore Jacket
Clearly, I needed a wisteria coloured Cobden Chore Jacket! This is the latest pattern from Leila and I through Muna and Broad, and it’s 15% off this week, no discount code needed! https://flic.kr/p/2mFj8KP Size Details: I made a Size E, which matches my bust measurement. I’ve got a 48″ full bust and am 57″ at…… Continue reading Cobden Chore Jacket
Plum frankenpants
I’m on a franken-pants kick at the moment, and I whipped up these buttery soft tencel pants with a slightly tapered leg. This mulberry tencel is from Fabric Deluxe in Australia. This is about a 5oz tencel, but it’s buttery soft and has a slight peachskin or sandwashed sheen. I thought maybe it wasn’t heavy…… Continue reading Plum frankenpants
