Not my usual colour-scheme, this seersucker gingham was love at first sight, but I wish past me had purchased maybe 30cm more fabric! This is the Muna and Broad Huon Shirt & Dress! //embedr.flickr.com/assets/client-code.js I’ve been rushing against the clock to finish this dress before the end of Huon Week, and house-sitting and other work…… Continue reading Huon in Seersucker Gingham

Retro Waikerie Dress
This fabric from Lady McElroy almost got away from me! I spotted it, loved all the colours and the cool things on it but then it sold out! I used my internet sluething skills and eventually found some in-stock at Sew Me Sunshine in the UK! I decided that I wanted it, held my breath…… Continue reading Retro Waikerie Dress
Brown striped Waikerie Dress
This is one of my 7 Waikerie Shirts and Waikerie Dresses that are in various states of completion- This dress has been sitting almost completed for quite a few months now and I finally put some buttons and button-holes on this tencel/linen stripe fabric. I’ve made View B of the Waikerie Dress (with mitered corners…… Continue reading Brown striped Waikerie Dress

It’s still winter down here in New Zealand, but I braved the chilly weather to take some socially distanced photos! This is View C of the Waikerie Dress from Muna and Broad with the collar added and long sleeves.

Trapeze Dress from Merchant & Mills
I tested the sizes 20 – 28 size range of the Merchant & Mills Trapeze Dress in their Woolsey Boston Fall linen/wool double gauze, which Merchant & Mills kindly sent my way along with a digital copy of the pattern for the purpose of the review. Their extended size range goes up to a 55″…… Continue reading Trapeze Dress from Merchant & Mills
Boxy Barkcloth Torrens Box Dress
There’s a very popular dress and jacket pattern that’s not available for fat-makers and I decided today on a whim that I’d like to make something very similar for myself, but using a pattern that is available in my size. So here’s part 2 of my Torrens Box Dress exploration, using the Muna and Broad…… Continue reading Boxy Barkcloth Torrens Box Dress
Adrianna Dress Toile, Friday Pattern
I’ve used my ‘sewing in isolation’ time to work through the backlog of printed-but-unmade PDF patterns in my stash, which includes toiling this Adrianna Dress pattern from Friday Pattern Co in some rayon fabric that I bought on super sale, and which I now consider to be extremely ugly (but I can’t remember if I…… Continue reading Adrianna Dress Toile, Friday Pattern
Torrens Box Dress Hack
I’d been dreaming of my own comfortable box dress in the style of Elizabeth Suzann’s Georgia Dress in silk, and I knew this fabric would be gorgeous to wear and would drape well. I have an entire pinterest board of sack dresses where the vast majority look exactly like the Georgia dress and I think…… Continue reading Torrens Box Dress Hack
Stylearc Eme Dress in Tencel
Stylearc’s Eme Dress is touted as the roundneck sister dress to their popular Adeline Dress (which I’ve made so many versions of)! Stylearc sent me a copy of the Eme multi-size printed pattern, but quite ironically I thought I’d sew a straight size 22 and I don’t think I’ll bother grading for my (inevitable) next…… Continue reading Stylearc Eme Dress in Tencel
