PHOTOWALL

April 09, 2020


This week while staying home, I wallpapered the girls' bedroom!  About six weeks ago I received an email from Annie from Photowall, a beautiful wallpaper/wall mural and print company based in Stockholm, Sweden. I clicked on the link to the Photowall website and was instantly impressed by the beautiful designs in wallpaper and prints.  It's no secret that I LOVE wallpaper and have already wallpapered three walls in the house.  Annie very kindly offered to supply me with some wallpaper of my choosing to hang in our home.

ZARA PATTERN

November 11, 2019


Today I am very excited to introduce you to my latest sewing pattern for girls - Zara!! For the past month I have been drafting, sewing, drawing, writing and with my team of testers, the pattern is now ready to sew! Let me tell you a bit about Zara...The Zara dress is an easy wearing and feminine silhoutte that suits light weight woven or knit fabrics (YAY!). The Zara pattern offers a scooped front waistline to create a high-low hem, or a regular drop waist hem.  Ruffles can be added to the front bodice.  The skirt is gathered and falls nicely from the relaxed fitting bodice. Gathered short or long sleeves are possible – both finished with an elastic hem, or the dress can be made sleeveless­.  The back closes with a button and loop and the neckline is finished with a bias hem.  Perfect for any age and season.  Zara is also the perfect pattern for beginner sewists!

Roar

August 11, 2019


The weather in my part of the world the past few weeks has been cold, wet and dreary.  Today was a perfect day for some sewing.  The girls were happily playing lego and setting up a café in the kitchen while my Mum and I spent some time sewing in my sewing room.  


Emily spent some of her pocket money yesterday at Spotlight on this gorgeous tiger iron on transfer.  I told her I would make her a new top for it to go on.  I was lucky yesterday to also find this pretty apricot stretch jersey at the op shop - the perfect match for the sweet little tiger.  I used my Issie pattern.  This is a size 7 (I usually make Emily a size 6) so it is a bit roomy but will fit her next year too.
