Today we’re going to try out a summer dress hack with a tried and true pattern – the Deer and Doe Plantain Shirt. If you haven’t sewn up this shirt before you can access it for free on the Deer and Doe website.

The beauty and versatility of this pattern and fabric combination really speaks for itself. Annabel chose this lovely blue chambray with aptly named ‘prancing ponies,’ and paired it with the Ikatee Marieke sleeveless playsuit with shoulder ruffles.

My blog post this time coincides with an Instagram sewing challenge that myself and @sarahcsewing have just launched called the Nellie Sewing Challenge.

My very good friend and I were given two tickets for the Fashion Week Festival and Catwalk Show by my generous daughter Amy and her business partner Nicki.

I don’t know about people in other parts of the world, but in Canada during the dead of winter, lots of people travel “down south” for a week or two to soak up the sun. I do not happen to be one of those lucky people. As I sit here, in my toque, cozy socks, sipping on a cup of hot tea in -30 degree windchill (why do I live in Canada?) I’m dreaming of the sunny days yet to come! Specifically, I’m really looking forward to our upcoming trip to Ireland at the end of May 2018!

Hi all! It's Holly here for another Sewalicious pattern and fabric review! I hope everyone is getting along ok so far with their 2018 sewing plans and not feeling the winter blues too much!

Valentine’s Day is just around the corner and while some of you are thinking about the big date night or maybe dreaming about chocolates or flowers, we are thinking about sewing over here! Sewing up pretty things that is - like a sexy camisole or a sexy nightie or maybe even a nightgown.
