My Paisley Holly Robe from Holly Dennett

Today I went to Kos town, rocking my new Holly Robe in this beautiful ivory pink crepe. It's just perfect as a cover up when you have burnt your shoulder.

The Holly Robe is by Holly Dennett who I discovered on Instagram, she has just started out with her new pattern collection. This robe is all French-seamed which gives the perfect inside finish.

Animal Print Barbara Dress from Annie et ses Coutures

I would like to share and get some love for the new Barbara Dress from Annie Et Ses Coutures. This is a knit pattern, with gathered waistband at the sides, pointed front neckline with a flared skirt. Pattern comes in English & French.

It's a great summer dress, for a casual look or dressed up look. I used this tan snake print jersey with a cotton lycra waistband. It's a great way to mix your prints but also looks amazing in 1 print. Really comfy and not hard to make!

Green Floral McCall's Misses' Wrap Dress

Today I've been worked on this McCalls dress, I don't do paper patterns much as usually they don't fit me right but I gave it another go. Still need to adjust the sides a little and had to remove a lot off for my height but I'm pretty happy with how it turned out in this beautiful green floral viscose I got last year and forgot I had it. This will make a nice evening dress for my holiday!

The Vista Visor pattern from Sofiona Designs

I had a little break from sewing clothes and tried out this cool Vista Visor that has just released from Sofiona Designs. It's a great way to use up the small bits of fabric you have. Very stylish and great for summer. Comes with the option of elastic back or narrow/wide tie back.

This visor also includes an absorbent/terry cloth inner layer, ensuring maximum comfort during activities. It made for woven fabrics, if your like me I love a bag or hat to match my outfits.

Classic PJs & Feel Pretty Pants from Ellie and Mac

Ok, I'm in love with this set and can't wait to wear it this summer. I used the Ellie and Mac projector file free Classic PJ pattern in woven for my shirt, and added a bit of pipping and tabs on the sleeves. My shorts are based on the Feel Pretty Pants pattern, added pockets with more pipping and went for a paperbag style waistband. This fabric is amazing and will go with so many different colours and outfits. I also had to add different colour poppers to match too!

My first ever Styla Patterns and love them both, I made the Montclair skirt in this beautiful viscose and the Asbury Bodysuit in a plum ITY. I have a holiday at the end of the month and can't wait to wear this. I'm only 5 foot but didn't shorten the skirt but I did raise the split a little.

Blue Linen Blend Tanner Dress from Petite Stitchery

So I created another Tanner Dress, a sewing pattern by Petite Stitchery. Made in this beautiful blue linen blend fabric from Molly's of Kensington. Its a knit pattern but because the fit is oversized I was able to get away with using this woven linen, which worked really well. The pattern is easy to put together, I love the gathers in this pattern that makes this dress feel really flowy.
