Daisy Dress featuring Rare Patterns Boutique Fabrics
The opportunity to collaborate on the launch of the new Artist Collection by Rare Patterns came up and I just couldn’t pass when I saw that the Artist they were featuring was the talented Carolyn Quan. This collection features bold florals printed on premium linen. When I saw the print, I thought of Spring Carnival,…
Hampton Woven Dress
Like most people, the Hamptons evokes images of relaxed beachside style, white and blue décor and fabric and quiet luxury. Style Arc were kind enough to offer me a pattern to review so I chose this because I already had the perfect fabric from Linen Lab to match it. I’ve had this piece of Ramie…
Collage Top with Hasting Street Linen
I’ve been having a bit of a crush on Matchy Matchy Sewing Club Patterns, so it was no surprise that when Rose from Devonstone Fashion reached out about some small samplings from their new Hasting Street Linen Range, I reached for the Collage Top pattern. This linen collection from Devonstone Fashion features linen cotton and…
Canyon Dress
It was so exciting to come home to a parcel of fabric from Fibers To Fabric! It’s always a period of adjustment coming home from travels, but this got me excited to get back into my sewing room. I was kindly offered a choice of fabric from Fibers To Fabric so I picked a green…
Arles Top
There was some sewing that I completed without documenting before my trip so I thought I would go back and catch up with some of it. The Arles Top by Sewing Therapy was one of those items and I’m so grateful for this lovely top in the hot humid weather of Vietnam. The Arles Top…

Vera Shirt Dress
Mia from Needle and Thread Patterns was doing a fun sew along which I was following but couldn’t join in at the time. She generously sent me the pattern anyway and I finally caught up with it in my sewing queue. I love shirt patterns, but this one is especially great because of the pleats…
Cloud Tee
When I first started sewing, I thought I would only sew the “special items” in my wardrobe like dresses but as I started to learn more, I realised that I really wanted the challenge of making a fully “me-made” wardrobe. Part of this is finding the perfect tee. I have made a few favourites, but…
Skipper Top
Thinking back to why I initially joined Instagram, it was because I didn’t really have any friends around me who sewed and I wanted to be able to find new patterns to sew. This was the perfect example. I kept admiring these items sewn by @this_is_sew_ana and went to check out Matchy Matchy Sewing Club.…
Aster Top and Dress
Sometimes, I get so excited about new release patterns, I forget to look at what is already in my sewing queue. I bought the True Bias Aster Top & Dress when it was newly released in 2023 and finally got around to toiling it last year. I fell in love with the classic lines of…
