Here’s a little preview of my latest make for @minervadotcom ~> it’s my first ever @ninaleelondon #mayfairdress made up in this gorgeous golden rose print jersey from #ladymcelroy I’ve been sewing it bit by bit over the last few days but I hemmed it this morning and can’t believe how much I love it! I’m already scouring my stash to find some fabric for another 😆 Now to await some sunshine (or at least something other than the grey drizzle outside my window today 😒) to get proper photos 📸 • • • #ninalee #gold #golden #vintage #sewingwithknits #summer #summerhols #ukteacherswhosew #memade #handmade #dressmaking #metallic #rose #roses #floral

Woohoo! Over on @minervadotcom my @closetcase.patterns #kalleshirtdress post has just gone live😁It’s made using some stunning #ladymcelroy cotton and I absolutely love it. Hop over to #Minerva to read my full review, oh and remind me why I haven’t yet cut out my next Kalle?! 😆 Link in profile 🔗 • • • #minervamakers #shirtdress #ferns #floral #ukteacherswhosew #memade #handmade #Imakemyownclothes #makingandmarking

Such a lovely day at the seaside with my mum yesterday 💘 A beautiful sunny day for a walk along the front and a couple of coffee stops👌🏻I wore my #mandyboattee and #yantaoveralls and realised I definitely need to make more of both. • • • #cleethorpes #eastcoast #sea #seaside #coast #seaair #ootd #ukteacherswhosew #summerhols #daytrip #beach #sand

Hot off the machine is my latest @akpatterns #sheonadress in this summery tropical scuba from @fabworksmillshop It’s another dropped waist version and I played about with the print a little. This is the third consecutive #WIP that I’ve completed in the last couple of days which I’m happy about. • • • #scuba #floral #tropical #nautical #hibiscus #memade #handmade #imakemyclothes #sewingwithknits #ukteacherswhosew #handmadewardrobe

Last night I finally finished my first ever #ogdencami using leftovers of this pretty floral fabric my dad brought me back from Thailand (I think) several years ago. The majority of it went on a Camber dress. The top fits ok but I’m not as excited about it as I expected, having seen sooo many beautiful ones made by others. It’s ages since I cut this top out so it’s at least good to finally have it completed and I might even wear it today with jeans to see if I warm to it a little 🤷🏻‍♀️ • • • #memade #handmade #imakemyownclothes #ogden #indie #floral #sewing #ukteacherswhosew

One of the issues with making your own clothes is the tendency to perpetually keep your eyes open for pretty backdrops for blog photos, am I right?! I’ve pretty much had a full week off sewing and instead have read 2 full books plus run many more miles than I’ve recently managed, which I’ve loved. Today I bought a new pair of running shorts but besides them and a race tshirt from June I haven’t bought any clothes this year. I’m now aware of some gaps in my wardrobe which I’d really like to sew to fill; pyjamas, skirts and solid colour bottoms {maybe some comfy, casual shorts in particular if I could find the right pattern}. And whilst I don’t want to wish the summer away my mind keep musing over what I’d like my autumn wardrobe to look like 🍂 • • • #sewing #memade #handmadewardrobe #sewingplans #indiesewing #blog #blogger #ukteacherswhosew #summer #summersewing #summerhols
