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

Bishop Melba Top
A little while ago I shared this Melba Dress sewing fail on Instagram- a sad outcome for this deep stash linen which I cut into far too haphazardly. With the bold sleeves and the red colour, it felt like something I should be wearing as a church chorister. View this post on Instagram A post…… Continue reading Bishop Melba Top
Red and pink combo
Pinterest can attest to my love of pink and red combos, but my wardrobe couldn’t, until now. Inspired by this post from The Fine Cloth Company which showed their candy apple red and bubblegum pink linens combined into a tiered dress, I went ahead and purchased The Exact Same Fabrics for my own colourblock adventure…… Continue reading Red and pink combo
Pale Peach Waikerie
Back in July last year I made a couple of hacked Waikerie Shirts from Fine Cloth Company linen. I made a gathered mocha Waikerie and this breast pocketed peach Waikerie. While the mocha Waikerie got a lot of wear, this peach shirt has been somewhat spurned. https://flic.kr/p/2nNP1Dw The mocha linen was a slightly heavier weight…… Continue reading Pale Peach Waikerie
Silk noil and raw linen
Here’s a fun little combo which includes 2 pieces that I’ve already shared here on the blog- my most recent and what’s probably my earliest make in A+R Fabric! https://flic.kr/p/2nGmZ8M My top is the Waikerie Shirt in moss silk noil and the pants are Glebe Pants in raw herringbone linen. The contrast between these 2…… Continue reading Silk noil and raw linen
Hacked Melba Dress
This project is blatant plagiarism I copied the project right down to the fabric choice and I don’t feel bad at all! During our August M&B Patreon Zoom Sewing Circle, Leila whipped up this exact hack of our new Melba Dress, with gathers and in a seersucker fabric (hers was navy and white). But, since…… Continue reading Hacked Melba Dress
New Glebe Pants
After my two most-worn M&B Glebe Pants (both natural linen) died in quick succession my wardrobe has been screaming out for a new pair so at the August M&B Patreon Zoom Sewing Circle last weekend I finally finished up this pair in A+R Fabrics Herringbone linen. The deaths were particularly sad because the pair I’d…… Continue reading New Glebe Pants
Golden fish Melba
The Melba Dress was in production and I’d already made my pink linen Melba in a 200gsm linen. It was a total success and I loved it so that I made a fatal error. I forgot that fabric weight is much less important than fabric drape and I cut into this golden jacquard that was…… Continue reading Golden fish Melba

Colourblock Torrens
Pink and red should always be seen together, or whatever the opposite is to the saying about how you should never pair red and pink. I used a pink and red linen from The Fine Cloth Company for this colour-blocked Torrens Box Top and Glebe Pants combo. I haven’t hemmed the top or pants yet…… Continue reading Colourblock Torrens
