Hey June Halifax Hoodie

Hey June Halifax Hoodie pattern review

It's #sewmystyle2018 reveal day! I loved making the Halifax Hoodie by Hey June...it was so quick and straightforward! The pattern comes with so many options and variations though I went with the simplest version you could possibly make and definitely have a new wardrobe staple ready for Autumn.

We Are Knitters kit review from a beginner knitter

We Are Knitters kit review from a beginner knitter

A deviation from my sewing obsession to discuss a different kind of making (apologies to dedicated seamstresses if you were hoping for something more fabric related.) We Are Knitters send out kits with everything you need to create something knitted from their very large range of patterns. They supplement their instructions with videos on YouTube, and have enough sales not to have to wait too long for a bargain. I have never even held knitting needles before diving into this so if you are a beginner too, this is what it's really like!

Sew Over It Vintage Shirt Dress in Lisa Comfort Fabric

Sew Over It Vintage Shirt Dress in Lisa Comfort Fabric

Another printed pattern that has been in my stash for about three years! The design features on this are gorgeous - gathered shoulders, the waist pleats, the notched collar. It takes a lot of vintage features and makes them easy to wear without looking like you are playing dress up. I have had fabrics earmarked for this that have come and gone, but it was obtaining 2m of Lisa Comfort's new fabric that gave me a push in the end. Inspired by her version, I now have a perfect summer dress!
