The Alistra Dress was envisaged as combining the great fit of our knit Whitlam Skirt and our knit Tarlee T-shirt, but it’s not a dupe of either patterns. All of them have curved centre-back seams which either encourage booty hugging, or eliminate the pooling in the small of the back, wrap around the very typical…… Continue reading Maroon Alistra

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
Loxton coloublocked Shorts
I doubled-down on my scrapbusting of athletic fabrics to make these most-colourblocked Loxton Leggings shorts, which just so happen to match Fifey’s sweater. https://flic.kr/p/2p9QLm2 Lean-bodied Greyhounds do need to be protected from the cold, so it’s mostly necessity and not animal cruelty! Maybe the animal cruelty is making him match me. This fluro Lycra from…… Continue reading Loxton coloublocked Shorts

Loxton Leggings: Colourblocked
The Loxton Leggings are the latest pattern from Leila and I at Muna and Broad, and they’re delightful beyond my own expectations and accidentally ripe for colourblocking! https://flic.kr/p/2p7xfbM Folks had been asking us for leggings for years, and we’d avoided it for a few varied reasons. I wasn’t that excited by the idea of leggings,…… Continue reading Loxton Leggings: Colourblocked
Pink & red Alistra
I love a red and pink combo, and this curved-colourblock take on the Alistra Dress is the Muna and Broad Patreon Insider & Maker Pattern Bonus for April. These two colours together were exactly what I was searching for- I got in touch with Fabric Box in Auckland to ask for a photo of the…… Continue reading Pink & red Alistra

Ode to Whitlam Skirt
The Muna and Broad Whitlam Skirt is a deceptively simple knit skirt which is fitted through the back but flows over the front. When we released the Whitlam we got lots of ‘yes, but how does it look on someone with a belly overhang?!’ questions- it looks just like this! The skirt has turned out…… Continue reading Ode to Whitlam Skirt
Making multiple Tarlee Tees
This is a great example of a project making its way onto the blog, not necessarily for you, but because I keep coming back to the blog to double check the details of my makes. What size did I make, did I make adjustments? I’ve got no idea, but the blog can remind me about…… Continue reading Making multiple Tarlee Tees
