Muna and Broad’s 3rd Birthday celebration saw a lot of our makes popping up in my feed and gave me a lot of inspiration! I saw a lovely pair of pink Birchgroves (see them here) and it was the inspiration I needed to finally make myself a new pair of Sculthorpe Pants! It’s been a…… Continue reading Pink Sculthorpe

Cargo Glebe & Waikerie
@Ithacamaven’s Top, Down, Centre, Out seems to be the topic of conversation that’s attached to every self-sewn pair of pants on the internet! Recently we got a question about TDCO on the M&B Patreon forum, so I did some additional research and dove in with my Glebe Pants pattern to make some new pants for…… Continue reading Cargo Glebe & Waikerie
High-rent pink Glebe
For my recent weekend trip to Wellington for Camp Boom (a camp for fatties) I took the opportunity to sew myself up a little travel capsule of new makes! I love a deadline and also an excuse to kick myself into making things I’d been planning for ages, but hadn’t necessarily got around to! Capsule…… Continue reading High-rent pink Glebe
M&B pants
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
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
Glebe and Gusset
I love a quick sew and I especially love a quick sew that I’ve memorised- the Glebe Pants were the first pattern that Leila and I released together and I’ve got the making down to a fine art where I can absolutely watch tv while I go through the pants-making motion. https://flic.kr/p/2nto6uk I cut these…… Continue reading Glebe and Gusset
