My next #minervamakers project is cut out and ready to go ✂️ • • • #stapledress #aprilrhodes #floral #cotton #summer #summersewing #sundaysewing #ukteacherswhosew #dressmaking #sewingforsummer

Yesterday I ran my second Swaledale fell marathon. It rained for most of it and my fingers were too numb to even try to take photos but the weather improved nearer the end. I managed to get a wiggle on over the last 5 miles and knocked over half an hour off last year’s time, completing it in 5.56. It was wet, boggy, slippery and muddy but I loved it 🤪 -especially the locally made mug and cloth badge. Oh, and the pastie and rice pudding at the end 👌🏻 23.5 miles and 3, 784 ft of elevation. A tough but superb event in stunning surrounds. • • • #swaledale #swaledalefellmarathon #gohardorgohome #fellrunning #yorkshire #northyorkshire #northyorkshiremoors #yorkshiredales #hills #dales

Thanks to some untypical Monday night sewing my @closetcase.patterns #kalleshirtdress in beautiful #ladymcelroy cotton is complete! Next I need to get photos then my second post for #minervamakers will be done. Spoiler: I’m just a little bit pleased with it 🤭 • • • #shirtdress #kalle #snaps #sewing #sewingforsummer #ukteacherswhosew #handmade #handmadewardrobe #Isewmyownclothes

Hoping for some Sunday sewing later today to make some progress on my next #minervamakers project. I’ve cut out the full length Kalle from this stunning Lady McElroy fabric and can’t wait to start sewing it up. There are so many gorgeous details in this design I know it’s going to be an absolute joy to work with 🌺🌼🌸 • • • #kalleshirtdress #sewingforsummer #ukteacherswhosew #dressmaking #sundaysewing #florals #botanical #garden

A quick post to round up #memademay 2019! This was the first year I felt properly able to take part due to the ratio of memade:RTW shifting somewhat (I still haven’t bought any new clothes in 2019, just shoes and trainers!) I pledged to wear me made 5/7 days and did so for every work day but was less successful in the half term and weekends 🤷🏻‍♀️ I already knew where the gaps were in my wardrobe; plains, bottoms (skirts, trousers and shorts) and cool and practical summer dresses. Lots to keep me busy ✂️ It’s been fantastic taking part, thank you @sozoblog for organising.

With a good, *ahem* 6 hours to spare, here I am with my entry for #sewingpatternsandprints #sewingmonochromemay This is my first @megannielsenpatterns #riverdress in some beautiful @alisonglass fabric that’s been in my stash for a couple of years. Read about it in full over on the blog ~ 🔗 in profile. Photos are from a trip out today with my mum ➡️ swipe to see my crazed expression when she told me to stare at the roses 😆 Thank you for organising @voiceofacreative @purplesewingcloud @sewn_on_the_tyne • • • #megannielsenpatterns #mnriver #ukteacherswhosew #monochrome #alisonglass #doddingtonhall #may #sewingforsummer #memademay
