Sewing Pattern Review: Butterick 6284 by Gertie

March 14, 2022March 16, 20222 Comments

I've been tempted to start doing sewing pattern reviews as I often get asked about how I go about sewing my own clothes. Patterns can be a little hit or miss sometimes and there are some notorious doozies out there so I hope my upcoming reviews help you to make the most out of your … Continue reading Sewing Pattern Review: Butterick 6284 by Gertie

Erstwilder Fan Favourites 2021

February 4, 2021February 2, 2021Leave a comment

We all know that once Erstwilder sell out of a design, it's gone forever and you are forced to hunt in the wilderness of buy/swap/sell groups or Ebay for your dream brooch. Although Erstwilder will not remake a certain design the same way, they do every now and then release the same design but in … Continue reading Erstwilder Fan Favourites 2021

Erstwilder “With Love” Valentines Day Collection

    Yes it's not everyone favourite day of the year, but I do really enjoy Valentines Day just for a day to tell people how special they are to you.

Erstwilder Insects Collection

As an avid gardener, I don't mind the odd creepy crawley as long as they don't eat my garden...I'm looking at you caterpillars! In saying that, I really like certain insects as they are just another essential part of life and are pretty cute! When I heard Erstwilder was releasing a new insect inspired collection … Continue reading Erstwilder Insects Collection

Erstwilder Scarves Review

August 14, 2019August 13, 2019Leave a comment

Now I love me a good headwrap especially when I'm particularly struggling with my hair or just haven't had time to curl it the night before. Scarves and wraps are a staple in my wardrobe and have been for several years which also means I have learned to tie them and wear them in a … Continue reading Erstwilder Scarves Review

Day dreaming of fields of gold 💛 can't wait to come back here, hopefully sometime this year but who knows!
It might be time for me to start knitting again, it's been a while but it's the perfect lap craft for couch and movie days. I've got a few vintage patterns I'd love to try but I'm a little nervous of starting. Do you over think projects or just get on with it? I'm a chronic overthinker haha!
Im looking forward to a quiet and rainy weekend of rest, recovery and the joy of hot tea with cinnamon. What is your favourite way to warm up in winter? It's so cold at the moment here 🥶
Do you enjoy winter holidays or summer holidays? I suppose summer is a bit easier but there's something delightfully cosy about winter adventures. What would be your ideal winter holiday?
Big boots bows make me happy. I'm trying really hard to get back to some sort of normal work routine but I've honestly been struggling. I'm not sure when I'll be well enough to film and edit and get back into the swing of things but I'm trying my best each day.
Sundays are an odd day, they have this laziness to them that's something to be savored but by the evening I'm stressed about the week to cone. Anyone else feel like this? I personally think we should add another day to the weekend so I can get all my housework done.
It's looking like a quiet weekend of recovery for me, what are your plans? What would be your perfect weekend?
Sad story about this dress: I made it using #butterick6284 during lockdown and absolutely loved it. After a few wears I took it to the laundry and somehow it fell behind the laundry basket where it wasn't visible. After a good while I found it but noticed it had some odd sun bleaching right on the front of the bodice. Now I wear it around the house but I'm tempted to remake it from the same fabric. Should I make another copy? Or should I just accept it as a house dress?
I'm in recovery mode and it's driving me crazy. I wanted to work today but just couldn't due to pain. I miss my normal routine, blogging and sewing. I don't think I'll be able to film this week but I'll try my best for a video next week.
I can't believe it's already wednesday! The week is just whizzing by and there's still so much to do. I'd much rather be lounging in pretty dresses. What would you rather be doing right now?
