Pattern Review: Melly and Me, Buttercup bunny I have a bit of a blogger crush on Melanie McNeice aka Melly and Me. I met her a few years ago at a craft retreat and just love what she does. She has supported me a couple of times on my little old blog which I am […]

Lil Pip Sew Box Purse – with embroidery thread detail I feel like this doesn’t really warrant an entire post but in my desire to have different options for a whole week, I’m just going with it. This is the straight line version of the medium clutch I designed. I do personally prefer the wider […]
Lil Pip Sew Box Purse – how to make a glasses case Is a glasses case dorky? Is it very granny to make one with a metal frame clasp? Do I even care or do I love the fabrics my 8yo boy selected for me!! (“You love purple mummy”). To make this one I used […]
