The Banksia Bralette and Tank
I’m a little late to the party to talk about the new Banksia Bralette pattern, released by Leila and I through Muna and Broad, mostly because I do have reservations about sharing pictures on the internet of myself in a bralette (funny where we draw the line isn’t it?)! While I was procrastinating on sharing…… Continue reading The Banksia Bralette and Tank
Liberty print Waikerie Shirt
//embedr.flickr.com/assets/client-code.js I bought this liberty print cotton on a bit of a whim shopping in person at The Fabric Store here in Christchurch.

Mallee Jacket from Muna and Broad
The Mallee Jacket is the latest release from Leila and I through Muna and Broad. It’s designed specifically for boiled wool, but I used a viscose/wool blend boucle which doesn’t fray because it was tough to find boiled wool here in NZ back when I tested this pattern during our warmer months. //embedr.flickr.com/assets/client-code.js Fabric Usage:…… Continue reading Mallee Jacket from Muna and Broad

Silk Noil Waikerie Shirt
The latest pattern from Muna and Broad is the Waikerie Shirt pattern, and this here is the collarless variation (View C) with short sleeves.I’ve avoided buttonholes for pretty much the whole time I’ve been sewing (all my pants have elastic), even though I love shirts, and finding shirts that fit both my bust and my…… Continue reading Silk Noil Waikerie Shirt
Waikerie Shirt Test
I gave the automatic button hole on my very basic Brother sewing machine just one more go, and finally managed to end up with something consistent enough to risk trying on actual clothes! I finally put buttons on 3 shirts that were otherwise fully made, that were part of my testing for a forthcoming Muna…… Continue reading Waikerie Shirt Test
