Screen printed jaguar dress

My youngest requested a dress with jaguars, cheetahs and meerkats on it. We compromised on just jaguars, and after a fair bit of sketching (both of us), finalised a design we were happy with.

Anyone who has read more than a couple of posts on this blog before knows I have a bit of a passion for costume making. Until this point my enthusiasm has been directed almost exclusively at my (usually) appreciative children (sometimes they have to curb my enthusiasm as little!)

The Graphite Trousers and Shorts – tester round up part 3

Today I’m sharing even more tester versions of The Graphite Trousers pattern – there are lots of options and sizes in the pattern so I needed lots of testers! These super cool monochrome versions are by @lunik.labo

The Graphite Trousers and Shorts – Tester round up part 2

Continuing on from my post yesterday I’ll be sharing some of the varied, beautiful versions some of my testers have made while developing The Graphite Trousers and Shorts pattern.

These beautiful photos have me longing for summer and feature some brightly patterned shorts made by Tinne of  naaisgerief.blogspot.com…

The Graphite Trousers and Shorts – Tester Round up part 1

The Graphite Trousers

This little pattern has had so much use over the years in many different guises, so it seemed like a good one to finally get together as a proper pattern. As usual it took much longer than I’d have expected when I started but after seeing all the wonderful test versions, I’ll be sharing later this week, I fell for the simple but versatile style all over again.

Battle of the Cocoon Coats

Finally getting round to posting about my Sapporo coat, and joining up with Maria (MyCozyCo) who has also made a Sapporo and Olu ( Needle and Ted) who has made an Style Arc Alegra coat in what is far mutual support/appreciation group than actual battle.

Nina Blouse Tour

It’s that time of the year where I pack up a little parcel for my nieces’ birthdays and pray it arrives across the atlantic. Last time the rompers I made for them didn’t turn up for over 6 weeks! Fortuitously this time happens to coincide with a tour for Coffee and Threads latest pattern – the Nina Blouse.

World Book Day 2018

Our favourite dress up of the year World Book Day came round again albeit in a delayed fashion thanks to snow related school closures.
