A Return to Simple Sewing

Over the Christmas holidays I managed to get a good few garments sewn up and I think this was my final make of the year: a @kitschycoo Lady Skater Dress made of some bright and beautiful scuba crepe kindly gifted by @minervadotcom Yesterday in the unseasonal yet very welcome winter sunshine I got photos, so those and my full write up will be coming to the Minerva blog very soon. Oh and I’m already planning my next version of this gorgeous pattern 🌹 • • • #ladyskaterdress #minerva #minervamaker #blogger #blog #sewingwithknits #ukteacherswhosew #handmade #memade #gifted #stretch

Saturday birthdays are few and far between, so to celebrate turning 38 today I crossed the Pennines and headed for @crosbyparkrun ~ a parkrun which I have followed on Twitter for quite some time because, just look at it 😍 Not only is it on the beach, but it has Anthony Gormley’s Another Place in the background. That all makes for a very special @parkrunuk in my book - and today the sun even shone. This one will take some beating. After parkrun I continued my birthday celebrations by doing some fabric shopping and singing along to @frankturner as I drove home. • • • #loveparkrun #birthday #happybirthday #crosby #anotherplace #anthonygormley #anthonygormleysculptures #liverpool #parkruntourism #sculptures #seaside

Here’s me back in sunnier times debuting my first ever Named Patterns Kielo wrap dress made of beautiful ditsy print ponte. You can read my thoughts and/or just enjoy remembering the late summer sunshine over on the Minerva blog now ~ link in profile 🔗 • • • #minerva #minervamaker #kielo #kielowrapdress #named #namedpatterns #blogger #sewingwithknits #summer #memade #handmade #ukteacherswhosew

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: HOW hard is it to get photos of sewing projects during the winter months?! Luckily though, the short January days didn’t dampen my excitement about my latest make for @minervadotcom ~ this Southbank Dress in beautiful blush and grey leopard print jersey. I wore it yesterday and it’s the perfect outfit for this time of year because it can easily be layered, (I’m wearing a long sleeved thermal top underneath 😝) is super comfortable and looks great! I added a couple of inches to the length and am really happy with the fit. This time I used some scraps of contrasting cotton for the pockets, which, if you swipe, you’ll see I’m quite pleased about 🤩 There will be lots more photos and a full post coming to the @minervadotcom blog soon. In the meantime, you’ll mostly finding me wearing this 🐆 • • • #gifted #minervamaker #blogger #blog #southbankdress #southbank #ninalee #ninaleesouthbank #leopard #jersey #knits #stretch #blush #memade #handmade #handmadewardrobe #winterwardrobe #jumperdress #pinkcoatclub #ithaspockets

For my Sunday walk I snuggled up in my first make of the year: this Helen’s Closet Blackwood Cardigan made using some gorgeous vibrant fabric gifted to me by @minervadotcom It was perfect for keeping me toasty on a breezy morning in January. More pictures and a full blog post will be coming to you via Minerva very soon 💜 • • • #blackwood #blackwoodcardigan #helensclosetpatterns #helensclosetblackwood #minervamaker #blogger #newyear #ukteacherswhosew #memade #handmade #wool

One of the highlights of 2019 for me was becoming a blogger for @minervadotcom and @loubodufabrics so I’m thrilled to be welcoming in the new year with the publication of my blog post about my Mayfair dress. I’ve worn it a lot again lately and have loved doing so. You can read all about it over on the Minerva blog, the link is in my profile 🔗 • • • #mayfair #mayfairdress #ladymcelroy #MinervaMaker #blogger #memade #handmade #ukteacherswhosew #happynewyear #metallic #vintage #sewingwithknits #happynewyear #newyearsday #nyd #january
