The Atrax Top is so speedy, it made sense to whip up quite a few versions, since the longest part of the project is the hemming! https://flic.kr/p/2nvnfBe Not going to lie- this fabric also jumped to the top of my stash when I realised that it was an almost-match for Fifey’s sweater (not me-made). Who…… Continue reading Ribbed Atrax

Atrax Dress
I mashed up the Atrax Dress with the View B cocoon view of the Hexham Dress (plus some length) to make a Leila-inspired minimalist dress from a French Terry from a local Facebook destash group. https://flic.kr/p/2nvKqhN I hate hacking, I’d rather have pattern bonuses or pattern pieces to work from instead of relying on myself…… Continue reading Atrax Dress
Merino Atrax
The Atrax Top is the 28th pattern release from us at Muna and Broad! This super quick sew takes longer to hem than it does to cut it out and sew the 5 seams on the top! We imagined this minimalist top initiallys as elevated workwear which will work in a variety of fabrics, but…… Continue reading Merino Atrax
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
Double wine Torrens
This past weekend was a long weekend and I entered peak flow and undertook a cutting-out-and-sewing extravaganza! I cut out 2 pairs of Glebe Pants (not pictured) and 3 Torrens Box Tops. I’ve had these 2 wine coloured fabrics in my stash waiting to become a Torrens for a while now, and I figured that…… Continue reading Double wine Torrens
Chalk and Notch Max
It’s not very often that I see a pattern for the first time and sew up a pattern that same day.. Mostly because the vast majority of my makes are Muna and Broad, and I see those before I get to sew them (and I don’t have to buy the patterns). I spotted this pink…… Continue reading Chalk and Notch Max
Snow gum blue Waikerie
When Maaidesign got in touch to ask if I wanted to try some of their new exclusive fabrics, some of which had Australian gum leaf prints, I was in. You might have noticed that I have a collection of Australian botanicals on my arms, so I was particularly taken with the long gum leaf print…… Continue reading Snow gum blue Waikerie
Wine Hyde twins
The Hyde T-Shirt extravaganza continues in my sewing room (which is my loungeroom). Sometimes when we release a pattern it takes a while for me to want to make it again because I’ve made so many already and I’m feeling a bit ‘over it’. https://flic.kr/p/2n6v4Xs Not so with the Hyde.. So much not so that…… Continue reading Wine Hyde twins
Striped merino Hyde
Yesterday I finished this merino Hyde T-Shirt and this morning it was just 5 degrees Celsius. Is my timing impeccable or what? https://flic.kr/p/2n6xJ95 This great striped merino is from Nick’s Fabrics in Auckland and comes in a variety of colourways. The selvedge edge was quite wavy and almost stretched out near the edges. It wasn’t…… Continue reading Striped merino Hyde
Drapey Hyde T-Shirt
The new Hyde T-Shirt from M&B comes with a View B which has a crossover back. It’s accessibility-minded but also just looks good. After Leila whipped hers up in black, I decided that this rich chocolatey bamboo would make a perfect version for me! I love how the back detail and the bamboo can skew…… Continue reading Drapey Hyde T-Shirt
