For my first blog post for Sewalicious I had to have a serious think about what I would make. There were cottons to make lovely frocks, jerseys for a cardigan and wool for a sweet 1930's jacket I had in mind.

Well this must be the comfiest dress I've ever made! For my Autumn Sewalicious blog I decided to make the Sew Over It Heather dress in this stunning pinky floral scuba called Secret Garden. I thought it would be the perfect combination of comfort and style to see me through some chilly evenings to come!

The runways and high street have been bombarded with the ruffle trend for some time now; the addition of a humble strip of gathered or pleated fabric gives shirts and dresses an injection of drama that’s nothing short of fabulous.

I sat on the train heading to London filled with anticipation and excitement. I was heading to The Handmade Fair at Hampton Court and I knew I’d be meeting the Sewalicious ladies – Amy and Nicki.

Well this is exciting being asked to blog for Sewalicious. I had the pleasure of meeting Amy & Nicki at the Handmade Fair. I had the choice to pick from all their fabrics it was like being in a sweet shop.

Do you fancy a last minute quick summer sew? Look no further than the Sew Over It - Ultimate Shorts!

I’m so excited to be writing my first blog post for Sewalicious about one of my favourite patterns this year!

Nicki and Amy have designed this really easy T-shape kimono pattern that was just begging to be made in their gorgeous Japanese Red Poppies cotton lawn.

Wedding season is here! And whilst there’s nothing better than watching two people you love get hitched [or drinking champagne all day] finding an outfit that makes you feel like a million bucks and isn’t identical to another guest can be a bit of a pain in the bum!

The Rose Dress is a free pattern the lovely ladies of Sewalicious have designed themselves, it's a great addition to any summer wardrobe and can be made as a top, tunic or dress to suit your personal style. It's also super easy to sew together, looks great and did I mention - it's completely FREE?!
