Excellent post game this morning thanks to two new arrivals from @minervadotcom 😍 The floral is a ponte which I’m thinking could make a pretty @namedclothing Kielo and the spots are a cotton which could make a classic skirt or possibly even some trousers - probably depending on how my pattern testing works out 😂 Naturally, they’re already in the washing machine! • • • #minerva #minervamakers #ukteacherswhosew #newprojects #memade #handmade #isewmyownclothes #dressmaking #sewingwithknits

I’m currently WAY out of my comfort zone in the middle of some pattern testing for a very exciting new @itchtostitch pattern. After 2 muslins I’ve just cut out my actual fabric and am trying to take my time to do a good job, and learn some new skills and techniques along the way. I’ve also got Queer Eye in the background for some moral support 😆 • • • #patterntesting #newpattern #itchtostitch #ukteacherswhosew #summersewing

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
