Life 1 - Me 0 I’ve been so busy over the last few weeks I haven’t even looked at my sewing machine. The last thing I was making was this gorgeous skirt which is probably about 75% done. In any free time I have had at home, I’ve been content flopping in front of the TV and haven’t fancied being productive, even though I also have 2 other projects ready and waiting. I had a late night last night and have a few things planned for tomorrow so I’m dubious about how much sewing I’ll do this weekend, if any. I do know I miss it, and I’m looking forward to sewing again sometime soon. • • • #ukteacherswhosew #minervamaker #skirt #sewliberated #estuaryskirt #ladymcelroy #handmade #autumn #fall #october

This weekend has definitely felt like autumn is in full swing: the leaves are turning, the days shortening and there’s an abundance of mushrooms and toadstools on my dog walks. It’s not easy to photograph Wilf when we’re out together: he’s usually zooming through the undergrowth off to one side. Oliver, on the other hand prefers to stay a little closer - here he is on squirrel watch 😆 For no particular reason I’m out of the swing of sewing at the minute although there are a few items I’d love to make for some lovely autumn layering 🍂 Maybe next weekend 🤞🏻 • • • #dogwalk #dailydogwalk #dogstagram #autumn #fall #leaves #colours #seasons #mushrooms #toadstools #nature #weekend

Here’s me in my mum and dad’s back garden ready for an afternoon partying 🥳 Ok so I’ll actually be going next door to their neighbours surprise 70th birthday 🎈 The last of the summer sunshine seemed like the perfect opportunity to wear my most recent @minervadotcom make ~ this @namedclothing #kielowrapdress I definitely need more of these in my wardrobe, and I’m hoping for some sewing time over the weekend. • • • #minervamaker #kielo #kielowrap #floral #September #handmade #handmadewardrobe #memade #ukteacherswhosew

This afternoon I have cut out THREE #minervamakers projects 😯 I had to do some real head scratching to fit the garments I wanted out of the fabric I had but I eventually managed it and the the 3 projects (2 dresses and 1 skirt) are now safely stored in ziplocks ready for me to sew up. I haven’t yet added in the notions so I need to look through my button, zip and elastic stash next. Even though the weather has been glorious today my thoughts have turned firmly to autumn 🍂 Hopefully these makes will be suitable for layering at least. • • • #minerva #minervamaker #ukteacherswhosew #memade #handmade #handmadewardrobe #saturday #saturdaysewing

I’m traveling home from a week away on residential in France with a group of 23 children. I’m lucky to be able to say this is my seventh visit to Hardelot with a group of children and we always have a fabulous time. Like always, the worst part is the journey back up north. This year we’ve had wonderful weather and our excursions have been as moving and informative as ever. I guess over the years we’ve taken between 200-300 children to France, and I know it will always be a career highlight for me 🙌🏻 • • • #residential #schooltrip #schoolvisit #france #french #pasdecalais #ukteacherswhosew #primaryschool
