This isn’t an especially seasonal release for us down here in the Southern Hemisphere, but we did have a little cold snap here in Christchurch around Christmas, so it wasn’t too sweltering for me to take pictures of my wool Shoalhaven Shacket, the latest release from Muna and Broad! I’m wearing my Shoalhaven with my…… Continue reading Shoalhaven Shacket

Grainger Coat, a plus-size quilted coat sewing pattern!
I’m so thrilled about the Grainger Coat, the latest pattern release from Leila and me through Muna and Broad! I’ve wanted to make myself a quilted coat for the longest time, but the popular patterns on the market weren’t available in my size. //embedr.flickr.com/assets/client-code.js While the Northern Hemisphere is thinking about heading in to cooler…… Continue reading Grainger Coat, a plus-size quilted coat sewing pattern!
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

Sapporo Coat
This Sapporo Coat from Papercut Patterns is one of my biggest sewing regrets, that I’m resolved to turn into a sewing win! I’m quite a way outside of the Papercut Patterns maximum hip size of 46.5″ (close to 10″ inches away), and because I loved the coat so much I got in touch with the…… Continue reading Sapporo Coat
Zero-Waste Jacket from Elbe
I made this linen duster-ish jacket using Elbe Textile’s free tutorial for making a zero-waste jacket. I love the idea of zero-waste sewing since it saves me from hoarding linen scraps for years and I suppose it’s also good for the environment. Sizing Details: I had a bit less linen than the pattern called for…… Continue reading Zero-Waste Jacket from Elbe
Linen Kochi
This Kochi from Papercut Patterns is sewn up in delicious mustard linen from The Fabric Store. I drastically increased the size of this everywhere because I wanted something wearable, cozy and that doubled as a rug for grass protection. There’s not much more to be said that I haven’t already said about this pattern. It’s…… Continue reading Linen Kochi
