Hospital Gown-style Nighties

Sewist — Thu, 29 May 2025 14:43:09 +0000

When an elderly female relative moved from a hospital ward into a care home, she needed new nighties in a style that would make it both comfortable to wear, and practical for the staff to help dress her. She had been wearing hospital gowns on the ward, so I decided to try and make some nighties in a similar style for her.

Celstial Plushies – part five

Sewist — Mon, 07 Mar 2022 10:00:00 +0000

Ok, so this isn’t actually a plushie, but it was made for a friend’s plush bear so it still counts! I didn’t want to try resizing a standard hoodie pattern, so I used the Apostrophe Patterns MyFit Tee for the bodice. You can enter the measurements of whoever (or whatever plush / doll) you are […]

Superbly warm and cosy Fox Joggers

Sewist — Sat, 02 Oct 2021 10:00:00 +0000

I had the opportunity to sew something from this amazingly warm fur-backed fox sweatshirt fabric. Of course my thought immediately went to another hoodie – but then I realised that what my winter wardrobe was really lacking, was a pair of warm joggers for winter walks. This was my first make using the Apostrophe Patterns […]

Camp-a-long Critters

Sewist — Tue, 31 Aug 2021 10:00:00 +0000

Do you remember the camping themed shirt I blogged about a couple of years ago? No? Well I’m not surprised, as it’s been so long, I hadn’t realised I’d not actually posted the finished shirt! It’s always a nerve-wracking process sewing the buttonholes when you’re pleased with the progress you’ve made. One tiny little mistake, […]

Around the Block – Nautical Style

Sewist — Tue, 24 Aug 2021 10:00:00 +0000

Going through my photos, I realised there were quite a few sewing projects that I hadn’t actually blogged, so be prepared for some random changes in my hair length with photos! This is the Around the Block Hoodie, which features a contrast diagonal panel across the bodice and sleeves, plus in-seam pockets and a cross-over […]

A Flurry of Face Coverings

Sewist — Tue, 13 Apr 2021 10:00:00 +0000

It was almost impossible to look at sewing posts last year without seeing at least one face covering, or a pattern for one. Some people were making hundreds of them to give away, others made hundreds to sell, and for a while I felt that I was “failing” for not making them or scrubs! However, […]

Nine for 2021

Sewist — Tue, 05 Jan 2021 16:42:33 +0000

Ok, I will admit it’s been a looooooong time since I posted anything on my blog! 2020 was a strange year in more ways than one – I didn’t get as much opportunity to work on sewing projects as I’d planned, and I struggled to get into the swing of blogging about them too! But […]

Embroidered Cord over at Minerva

Sewist — Tue, 17 Nov 2020 13:52:00 +0000

I can’t believe I haven’t posted these here yet! I made these jeans last year, with some embroidered cord from Minerva. To make it fit on their new website (I had too many photos for a single post!), the blog post is split into three: One – Two – Three I’d never sewn with cord […]

A very summery look – tropical shirt and shorts

Sewist — Sat, 07 Nov 2020 21:00:00 +0000

I’m excelling at non seasonal makes right now, but at least this one can help me dream of sunny summery days, when it’s dark and drizzly outside! My latest make is now live on the (new!) Minerva website! I split it into two posts, so you can read the shirt make first, then carry on […]
