Eek! I made a coat! Here’s my very first New Look 6325 made using this beautiful brown wool mix kindly gifted to me by @minervadotcom This was definitely a more meaty project for me and there were quite a few new techniques to get my head around, but here it is. I love the collar detail and think there’s probably still plenty of winter left for me enjoy wearing it. You’ll be able to read all about it and see more detailed photos on the Minerva blog very soon 🤓 • • • #minervamakers #minervamakes #gifted #blogger #coat #newlook6325 #memade #handmade #isewmyclothes #ukteacherswhosew #january

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

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
