Making Merry Garland Pattern When one of your quilty idols asks ever so nicely if you can test a pattern for her …. you ponder for about 3 seconds and almost scream down the (thankfully) email with of a measured response of ‘yes, I’d love to’ (I was totes playing it cool). So the pattern […]

My pattern recommendations for babies, dress ups and toys So I know this isn’t for clothes (my previous ones for boys, girls and dresses was inspired by Kids Clothing Week) but I had a few other reviews lying around and thought I would do a round up of those. The Babies first toys pattern is […]
I can’t believe I haven’t reviewed this pattern yet. It is one I have had for years (actually here is one pair I made back in January 2012 and I’ve come a long way as a blogger lol). I honestly have made this pattern so many times. I generally make the kids at least one or two […]
Pattern Review: Tree Climber Hoodie by The Pattern Studio Seriously – those dimples!!! Thanks to my April Sew Box Subscription, I had the chance to make something for Master 8. He just loves when I make something special just for him as I’ll admit there is a disproportionate amount made for his little sister. I […]
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 […]
Pattern Review: Babies First Toys Flosstyle While I’m certainly over the baby stage (myself!), I seem to be surrounded by lots of preggy ladies and newborns at the moment.

I’ve yet again put a little pressure on myself by making my two plus my two nephew’s outfits to wear on Christmas day. With my oldest being 8, I figure this might be the last year of being matchy matchy. And if I think about it, I would have hated matching my sister for Christmas […]
Pattern review: Ceci Shorts by Petite Kids Boutique Last year I made these shorts to sell, made up a few samples and took my professional ‘modelled’ shots. Then never finished all the sizes I have cut out (in fact they are still sitting in my to-do box)!! So I hope that with just a few […]
Pattern review: ‘Star’ Boat neck tee by Blaverry When Christie from Blaverry asked if I would review one of her patterns, I jumped at the opportunity. Her latest line is nautical inspired, clean lines with so much scope for personalisation. I asked Christie to tell me a little about her business: “Blaverry was born from […]
Pattern Review: Fishsticks Designs The Mud Puddle Splashers I’ve been admiring the shorts that Pam from Threading my Way has been making for such a long time (see link here which then links to her many versions!). So when I was looking for a new pattern, I took a closer look at these. Shorts and […]
