This is my peak-summer dress and the pinkest Hexham Dress yet! There are 2 views, 3 sleeve lengths and 2 neck options (3 if you could a mockneck as being separate from a turtleneck) included in the pattern. What I went with here is the crewneck option, the shortest sleeve and the View A, which…… Continue reading Pinkest Hexham Dress

Ribbed swimsuit
https://flic.kr/p/2mjzQHq Today in misadventures! I finally tried on a swimsuit that I had sewn up just before NZ went into lockdown, and discovered that I could barely get it on and the fabric was very stressed being forced to accommodate me! I’d been saving this lovely ribbed black swimsuit fabric from Nellie Joans for AGES…… Continue reading Ribbed swimsuit
My perfected bralette
I’ve made a lot of different versions of the Muna and Broad Banksia Bralette and I think I’ve finally been able to settle on my favourite configuration! The Banksia Bralette [pronounced like Banksy-a] comes in two different cup sizes, and options for narrow shoulders too. The Banksia has a unique inner sling system which works…… Continue reading My perfected bralette
Perfecting my undies
Is there a better time to be talking about perfecting your me-made undergarments than me-made-may? I think not! This turned into a pretty long post! I’ve been making my own undies, something I never thought I would do, since we tested the Waratah Undies & Period Undies for Muna and Broad in November 2019! In…… Continue reading Perfecting my undies
Tarlee swim shirt/rashvest
The Tarlee T-Shirt is the latest pattern release from Muna and Broad, and when I saw it I realised that with a mock-neck, it would make a great swim-shirt or rashvest for beach swimming this summer! Get 15% off the Tarlee with the code TURTLENECK until the 7th of January. //embedr.flickr.com/assets/client-code.js I hoped that this…… Continue reading Tarlee swim shirt/rashvest

Kapunda Undies, Kapundies
My underwear draw is looking very healthy and stocked with Muna and Broad Kapunda Undies. These high-waisted undies sit perfectly on me, and don’t move around during the day- they’re basically the underwear that I’ve wanted for years but could never buy. //embedr.flickr.com/assets/client-code.js In addition to making the usual scrap-busting undies from past knit projects…… Continue reading Kapunda Undies, Kapundies
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
