The Rebound Set By George & Ginger Patterns

George & Ginger are back with an amazing new pattern, meet The Rebound set, there are 3 different designs that go over the perfectly fitted vest top that comes in crop, top and dress length. I made view (A) with neckband and top length top under and also view (B) in this lovely green rib because I couldn't decide which one I wanted and still planning to do view (C). It was a quick make and it's a perfect little overlay. I had a little of this pink leopard knit that was just the right size and use a soft pink jersey for my top fabric from ABC Fabric. Check out the pattern and tell me what option you will make first?

Bombay Jacket By Annie ets es coutures

Meet the amazing new Bombay Jacket, It’s finally here for you all to check out!
With welt pockets and a cute little zip pocket on the sleeve, hello safe place for keys, Bombay is fully lined for that perfect, polished finish.
It’s a woven pattern and does require ribbing for the waistband and collar. I went with a boucle main, marocain crepe lining, and ribbing to finish it off from ABC Fabric and I’m obsessed with the result.
Dress it up for the office or wear it casually every day. Love how mine turned out.

Self-Drafted Oversized Wool Jacket by Ashely Riley

I'm over the moon with the 2nd jacket I made using my own bodice block made on Petra's course. My first jacket had welt pockets and a storm flap, this one I went for patch pockets, tabs on the shoulders with more of a drop shoulder in an oversized style. I used some wool from my stash and lined it with some purple marocain crepe from ABC Fabric. Love how it turned out and knowing I created the pattern myself is a big achievement. I feel confident in creating my next jacket now!

Inspiration: Top Made from Rectangles of Fabric

Today I managed to get some photos of one of my finished jackets. I drafted the pattern myself using my own block, and I’m so pleased with how it turned out. I also think it pairs beautifully with my new outfit, made from this gorgeous marocain crepe from ABC Fabric, the burgundy and teal colours work so well together.

I created the top using two rectangles and two ties, inspired by an Instagram reel, The trousers are also my own creation, drafted from my trouser block with a few adaptations. I love how everything has come together. 🥰

Self-Drafted Grey Wool Blend Jacket

She is finally completed and will get pictures with me wearing it soon. I have one more lesson left before my course is all over! 😭

This is my grey wool blend jacket lined with purple Marocain crepe, made from my own blocks I have made for my measurements. I love all the learning of how to construct it all on my own without instructions. Being able to draft your own blocks is the best thing I've learnt and now there is no stopping me. I just need to learn how to grade sizes but that's coming in January

I also added a little scarf to match. 😁

The Paris Dress By Designer Stitch Patterns

Just in time for all the party celebrations, say hello to the fabulous new Paris Dress from Designer Stitch Patterns!

Paris is made for woven fabrics, and I whipped mine up in a dreamy flocked polycotton and a silky satin. I couldn’t choose a favourite length, so… I made both! One at 60 cm and one at 75 cm because why not?

And the best part? You can add a matching self-fabric belt and the cutest little shoulder-tie accents.
I’m officially party-ready in my brand-new Paris dresses, and I’m obsessed!

The Willowstorm Coat by Ashley Riley

I can finally say it… she’s finished! And I am over the moon with how she turned out. This coat has been a real labor of love, and seeing her fully lined and ready to wear feels like such an achievement.

Named The Willowstorm Coat, because it feels luxurious, moody, and dramatic, just like deep purple wool blend fabric I used to create it.

I drafted this coat using the bodice block I created back in college, so every part of it is truly made to measure. Working without a pattern or instructions definitely added a bit of spice to the process, but taking my time, testing different construction methods, and trusting my instincts really paid off.

This beauty includes two feature, one I’ve never tackled before, storm flaps and I've improved my welt pocket making.

Both pushed me out of my comfort zone, but I absolutely loved the challenge. There were a few moments of unpicking (as always!), but once the pieces started coming together, everything clicked. The welt pockets especially were a proud-dance-around-the-sewing-room moment!

Sewing a coat has always felt like one of those “one day…” projects, and now that I’ve made one from scratch, I can’t wait to make more. There’s something incredibly satisfying about watching a flat piece of fabric transform into a structured, wearable garment, especially one that feels this special.

If you’re thinking about making your own coat, I say go for it. Take your time, trust your skills, and don’t be afraid to try new techniques. The feeling when you slip on a handmade coat for the first time? Absolutely unbeatable.

The Rylie Shirt By Designer Stitch Patterns

As autumn is here I made the perfect shirt it's called Rylie from Designer Stitch patterns. I used this beautiful viscose from ABC Fabric which worked so well for the Rylie. There are many options to this pattern from a drawstring front, to no drawstring and different sleeve options. I made the front drawstring with the standard placket cuff. I love that it has lots of features, the side splits with the drawstring front is my fav.

The Sadie Bubble Skirt by Ellie and Mac

The amazing new Sadie Bubble Hem skirt is here from Ellie & Mac patterns. Sadie comes in 3 different lengths mini, knee and ankle length, you also have the option to add pockets! I've used this Pink Spot marocain crepe from ABC Fabric and lined the skirt with the same. I love how the bubble hem is created with a rounded hemline and the lining being shorter creates this beautiful bubble look. I've paired mine with the Nyeca top plus I made a colour block shacket. Love how the whole look turned out.
