Gingham is today’s theme for Wear it on Wednesday a and it was just the push I need to finish up a quick refashion. This skirt used to be on a dress I made a few years ago. The top is now too small so rather than leaving it to languish in the back of a… https://t.co/Z3Y58Nekky

Wet hair don’t care!

Today I’m in my happy place, feeling well enough to shower and get dressed before lunch! Even better that it’s my favourite zero waste gather dress. It’s so wonderfully comfortable, light and breezy. No waistband to be tight on my… https://t.co/E0l9f0n7zV

It’s the first of May, which for many sewists marks the start of MeMadeMay. A month long celebration of handmade clothes started by @sozoblog . For me, the challenge of wearing something handmade each day has become less and less challenging as the years… https://t.co/AyNw93OGZ0

The full length mirror is in the next room, but getting dressed was enough for today so you can have this artsy head and shoulders shot of my stripy Mandy boat tee.

This pointelle is really pretty and incredibly fun to work with. It is really nice and stable so I managed to cut it out and sew it up really quickly and with no problems at all. I really wanted to make a basic tee to show off they lovely fabric but once… https://t.co/nwAZOfcEzg

I needed to *patch* this pyjama top as the label on the back neck had pulled some little holes in the fabric where it was stitched in. I took inspiration for this mend from @amandanadigart and their found shape quilt. I have so many fabric scraps from… https://t.co/l436kqGSc9

Orange 🍊 This is the best I can manage for #WearItOnWednesday fruit salad theme as my wardrobe is completely fruit free and even this top only has orange stripes! Tough challenge this week @heysewgeorgie and @emmaandhermachine #hepburntop #p4phepburn… https://t.co/1kwGYuWHU3

Day 11 of #MendMarch and @visiblemend had given us the prompt *feet*. Not the usual aesthetic people choose Instagram for but it made me finally get around to mending these well worn vans that were drawing at the back of the heel #VisibleMending… https://t.co/2V1D4GSzpr

*pesky* cotton socks They are so comfortable yet always wear thin on the heel. I must admit I don’t often bother mending them as it’s so eye wateringly tedious but this is a favourite pair. I used sew all thread to prevent holes where they have written… https://t.co/ZfRlb2D2LM

I’ve had these two rtw cardigans for such a long time but I just don’t reach for them anymore. When I bought them they were actually the same cardigan just one is black (left) and the other is navy (right). I decided to try chopping one of them into a… https://t.co/uZ5fU4sTM1

[H's Handcrafts @HsHandcrafts]

I was really excited about the start of#MendMarch by @visiblemend and then I managed to miss it! I decided to make up for it with a *cheeky* bit of mending whilst my code was running this morning. There’s something about little blue porthole mends on a… https://t.co/Cp7eCUzhib

Sometimes a selfie is all you can manage. I’m wearing my new Kinder Cardigan again today and I just love how soft the fabric is. Still not managed to get any real photos of it though! #MinervaBrandAmbassador #MinervaMakers #MinervaMaker #KinderCardigan… https://t.co/UzaavM5iLr

I’ve always avoided hand basting binding as it just seemed like something an impatient person like me would detest but I’ve actually really enjoyed the process on this latest make! It’s there a sewing technique you’ve been putting off trying? #SlowSewing… https://t.co/yad0G7ISV1

I made this #seamworkPauline skirt as part of a 2 piece set last spring and I’ve been itching for the weather to get better so I can wear it again. It’s made from a gorgeous liberty lawn and so is a perfect summer piece but this week I’ve posted it with… https://t.co/dJfJU1L9c6

I’m really enjoying seeing everyone’s proudest makes as part of @sewhayleyjane #sew500 giveaway I think mine would have to be this coat, as I still don’t write believe I made a coat! The pattern is the @sewoveritlondon Cocoon coat. I added a centre back… https://t.co/rY2J3JrI3K

First look at my latest #MinervaMake! I chose to make a Kinder Cardigan out of this gorgeous brushed viscose knit as it is the perfect fabric for a transitional garment. You know when the weather is changing and you are not sure if it is going to be hot… https://t.co/JEtZGk2eqJ
