HEllo and Welcome to my sewing room…..I hope you will pop by often…..it’s a busy place. ALL MY DESIGNS HAVE LITERARY, TRAVEL OR HISTORICAL THEMES PLUS LOTS OF CHIT CHAT ABOUT SEWING STUFF AND MY DRESSMAKING ENDEAVOURS.

Spring
With April here, I am full of floral projects. Everywhere is coming to life and the blossom season is upon us. So much to be inspired by. The natural world provides so many ideas for embroidery, needlepoint, watercoloring and even knitting. New garments are needed for summer too, so dressmaking plans afoot.
My ‘Outlander’ dress is one of my most favourite makes - click on the photo for more information.

So here is my ‘Handmade Summer’….this quilted jacket was a great project that is setting the tone for the sunshine months ahead. The joy of handmade things never fades for me - it is such a creative, mediative and practical pastime and you end up with unique things that are so fun to use and wear.
