I whipped up the free Deer and Doe Plantain T-shirt which has relatively-recently been updated to include their extended sizing, up to a 60″ hip. Meg from Cookin’ and Craftin’ made this back in 2014 before the expanded sizing was a twinkle in Deer and Doe’s eyes, and it seemed high time that I test…… Continue reading Plantain Tee Plus

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

Whitlam knit skirt
Pattern number 30 from Leila and me is here: The Whitlam Skirt from Muna and Broad. I didn’t think it could be done but Leila has drafted a knit tube skirt that doesn’t want to crawl up under my belly overhang. Pure magic. https://flic.kr/p/2nYvkqC Clearly the first version of the Whitlam Skirt that I shared…… Continue reading Whitlam knit skirt
Squiggle City
I’ve been sewing up a little storm recently as we prepare to release Muna and Broad’s 30th pattern (not pictured here) and as I put together a small travel capsule for an upcoming weekend in Wellington for Camp Boom (capsule also not pictured here). A gaggle of Atrax I’ve sewn up a little collection of…… Continue reading Squiggle City
Colourblock Torrens
Pink and red should always be seen together, or whatever the opposite is to the saying about how you should never pair red and pink. I used a pink and red linen from The Fine Cloth Company for this colour-blocked Torrens Box Top and Glebe Pants combo. I haven’t hemmed the top or pants yet…… Continue reading Colourblock Torrens
Striped Atrax
Am I filling my wardrobe with Atrax? Am I filling my wardrobe with this stripe? Yes. I have a Hyde T-Shirt in this exact fabric and since the Atrax Top uses so little fabric I had enough left to make a matching Atrax and I’ve still got more leftover (maybe a second Atrax where I…… Continue reading Striped Atrax
Ribbed Atrax
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
