Steele Pinafore Dress
Latest make! I’ve been wanting to make the Steele Pinafore for a while and I intially had hoped I had enough of the check Merchant and Mills fabric but ended up being a bit short. So I prewashed a cotton/viscose material ready for the SewConfident reatreat and thought I was good to go…. But then…

Unpicking
My husband always jokes that I seem to unpick more than I actually sew… and he’s not wrong! I’m a bit of a perfectionist and would prefer to unpick and redo several times over rather than let something go that’s not quite right. I realise this is why it takes me so long to get…

Hovea Jacket take 2!
I went on a Sew Confident course last year to make the Hovea jacket and, long story short, I cut out fabric for one of the options that we weren’t doing in the class (there’s 5 variations and I chose one that wasn’t quilted)! I was really keen to make another one though with some…

DISPOSABLE VAPES- A TICKING TIME BOMB OR ALL SMOKE WITHOUT FIRE?
I’m currently studying a Masters in Environmental Management and one of our assignments was to write a opinion style blog post on a topic around Resource Management or Circular Economy. I’d noticed the increase in discarded e-vapes and, being a follower of LessWasteLaura since COP26, had seen that it was something she was trying to…

Hovea Quilted Jacket
Last year i saw an amazing patchwork quilted coat on instagram and i had a closer look at the account (Brittney.Frey). There were loads of gorgeous designs and I discovered the creator had written a guest blog post on how to make your own. She has shared some of the quilt patterns she uses but…

World Book Day Costume
I was aware of World Book Day before having E (I had a colleague who always went all out at making his kids’ amazing outfits) but last year I unexpectedly found out about it whilst standing in the nursery line for pick up. One of the staff was telling another parent that it was World…

Range Rucksack
I’ve not done any posts on any of my ‘makes’ and I’ve actually made a fair few things in the last year so thought I should blog about one of my favourites! I’ve been doing hand sew decorations for years now, mostly with felt, and tend to make some Christmas decorations or baby mobiles for…

Home made Pizzas in under 30mins!
So we’re well past the weaning stage now with Evander just turned 19 months. I will go back and finish a bunch of unfinished blog posts I have on weaning and recipe reviews at some point.I’ve seen a few bits online recently that have encouraged people to just post rather than not spend ages on…

Our breastfeeding journey
It was national breastfeeding week a few weeks ago and although I’ve stopped breastfeeding, i wanted to write a bit about our experience. There’s a lot of information out there and loads of support groups but I still felt that the advice you can receive from ‘official’ sources were a bit lacking in some areas.…

Donating Breastmilk
It’s world day of Human Milk Donation and I thought I’d help spread the word as many people don’t realise you can donate while breastfeeding! Before I was pregnant I watched a news clip about premature babies and women that were donating breastmilk to help them. I remember thinking that if I was ever lucky…
