Dinosaur Hunting Shirt

Sewist — Tue, 07 May 2019 10:00:31 +0000

I found this polycotton fabric in the Sewing Studio last year, and bought a metre of it to make into a child’s shirt. I thought it would be perfect for K’s birthday. Of course things never work to plan on timescales do they? A month after his birthday, and I still had only got as […]

Blanc Tee

Sewist — Sat, 19 Aug 2017 09:00:00 +0000

Rummaging through my bag of UFOs, I came across the pieces for this Blank Slate Patterns Blanc Tee. I’d purchased the fabric over a year ago, cut out the pattern, then didn’t have the confidence to figure out if the sizing was accurate, or if I’d need to grade the seam allowance at the waist. […]

I had attempted some pyjama shorts last year, but never anything that would be suitable to wear outside. But when I spotted […]

Shoreline Boatneck – another hack in progress

Sewist — Tue, 18 Apr 2017 09:00:04 +0000

Even before I finished my first Shoreline Boatneck, I was already planning my next one. I needed a jacket to wear on the allotment if it looked like it might rain (typical British summers and all that), and my previous hacked Shoreline Boatneck looked like it would be just the right style. I found some navy Rip-Stop and […]

Shoreline Boatneck hack

Sewist — Tue, 11 Apr 2017 09:00:58 +0000

I will admit that I have never hacked a pattern before – literally every item of clothing I’ve made so far, has been done according to the pattern. However, the Blank Slate Patterns Shoreline Boatneck caught my eye, and was screaming to be hacked into something slightly different. The pattern itself comes with a ‘hack pack’ with […]
