Now up on the blog ~ my review of some beautiful scuba crepe kindly gifted to me by @loubodufabrics which I used to make my first @akpatterns #Sheonadress Hop over for a read as there’s an offer across the site throughout the bank holiday weekend 🐣 • • • #handmadewardrobe #isewmyownclothes #ukteacherswhosew #loubodufabrics #scuba #sewingwithscuba #scubacrepe #happymail

A couple of days ago I cut out 3 projects. Today I’ve finished the dress, and the trousers (eek!) so I’m now making a start on a blouse in this beautiful viscose purchased a few weeks ago from my local sewing shop. I’m almost holding my breath as I think it could be stunning. I’m not too experienced with this type of fabric and I’m seriously considering making my first attempt at poppers rather than buttons, so I’m trying to slow down and take care 🤞🏻 • • • #handmadewardrobe #isewmyownclothes #ukteacherswhosew #viscose #floral #easter #eastersewing #spring #sewingforspring #latenightsewing

If you are just here for the sewing then scroll on by ~ this is most definitely a RUNNING post. Today is my 3 year runniversary ~ three years ago today I went for my first run. Before that, other than walking the dogs, I’d never done any sporting activities. At school I would do my best to avoid PE: I wasn’t any good at it and I didn’t enjoy it. During the last 3 years I’ve run over 3000 miles. I’ve raced distances 5k-marathon. I’ve run on road, trail and fell. I’ve run in snow, hail, gales and heat waves. I’ve run on holiday and absolutely loved running in France on residential. I’ve run cross country and I’ve raced short distances on a running track. I’ve run alone, with others but mostly with my dogs. I’ve run when I’m happy, when I’m down, to clear my mind or to mull things over. I now can’t imagine not running because it’s good for me in so many ways. I don’t usually do two runs in one day but to celebrate my runniversary this morning I went out early and did 5 miles with the dogs and this afternoon another 8 in the sunshine with my friend, her daughter, their dog and my Wilfie. We stopped for ice cream, naturally🍦

Eek! L👀k at the gorgeous parcel that arrived this morning. This is the first year I’ve felt confident enough to have a range of items for Me Made May so I treated myself and @threadsnbobbins to the gorgeous @sozoblog pins 😍 I also spent several days browsing the gorgeous selection available from @fabricgodmother and finally settled on this stunning orange blossom crepe. I was thinking it would make a nice skirt but as I think it will need lining I’m not sure if it will become a top. Whichever, the fabric is stunning isn’t it? • • • #fabricgodmother #crepe #orangeblossom #floral #memademade #flatlay #squishyparcel #happymail #memade #isewmyownclothes #handmadewardrobe #ukteacherswhosew

Am I the only one who has to make peace with a pattern? Take a look at the blog to see my latest Camber dress in this gorgeous floral linen. This project had been on my To Make pile for months, and I’m so pleased with how it turned out. Link in profile if you’d like to read more, along with some pretty spring flowers 🌺 • • • #camberdress #camberset #merchantandmills #linen #floral #ukteacherswhosew #easterholidays #holmsown #spring #springsewing #memade #handmadewardrobe #memademay #blossom #magnolia #daffodils #imakemyownclothes
