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 […]

Why did the Zebra Cross the Road

Sewist — Tue, 14 May 2019 10:00:07 +0000

…no, wait that’s not the right joke is it? Anyhow, I bought this Zebra jersey panel ages ago and was scared to cut into it in case I messed it up. While I was sorting through my bag of UFOs, I rediscovered it and decided to take the plunge and cut myself a Union Street […]

Dinosaur Hatteras Hoodie

Sewist — Tue, 18 Dec 2018 13:46:55 +0000

What do you make for a young relative who loves dinosaurs, when you’ve already made him a cuddly dinosaur before? I settled for my tried-and-tested Hatteras Hoodie, and went to find some suitable fabric… which was harder than I’d first thought! Eventually I came across this dinosaur sweatshirt fabric at Sewing Studio, and despite the […]

Twittering Union Street Tee

Sewist — Tue, 02 Oct 2018 09:00:45 +0000

It’s taken me a while to get back to my Union Street Tee*, seeing as I knew I’d messed up the neckline. I’ve actually shelved this since May, as the neckline was annoying me! However, I realised that unpicking it would be unrealistic as the binding was already top-stitched once I noticed my mistake. Now […]

Union Street Tee (UFO)

Sewist — Tue, 22 May 2018 09:00:23 +0000

After trying some raglan sleeve t-shirts, I decided it was time I attempted a v-neck, and the Union Street Tee* by Hey June Handmade caught my eye. As usual with Hey June Handmade* patterns, the instructions are really detailed, so I figured I would be able to make a super v-neck…. unfortunately, due to user error, […]

An Early Christmas Present

Sewist — Tue, 21 Nov 2017 09:00:24 +0000

Seeing as the Halifax Hoodie went so well, I had a crazy idea to make K a hoodie as an early Christmas present. Hey June Handmade’s Hatteras Hoodie* is made in exactly the same way as the Halifax, so I felt reasonably confident at my ability to make it. I chose some blue spotty sweatshirt […]

Halifax Hoodie

Sewist — Tue, 14 Nov 2017 09:00:46 +0000

Ever since I made a hoodie from a Craftsy course last year, I’ve wanted to make a hoodie with more of a traditional sweatshirt style. Searching through various websites, I eventually came across the Halifax Hoodie by Hey June Handmade* which looked perfect for the style I was after. As this was my second ever hoodie that […]
