Eek! My first ever post as a #minervamakers blogger is now LIVE 🥳 Head over to the @minervacrafts blog to read about my @tillybuttons #sewingagnes dress hack ✂️ ~ link in profile 🔗 • • • #minerva #minervacrafts #dressmaking #memade #handmade #handmadewardrobe #ukteacherswhosew #bluebells

Last weekend I finally finished this @aprilarhodes #stapledress ~ the dipped hem view, using this beautiful @minervacrafts cotton. Last night I got photos so it won’t be too long before the post is up on the #Minerva blog 😀 • • • #minervamakers #floral #cotton #pastels #ukteacherswhosew #memade #handmade #dippedhem #highlow

When a pocket looks this beautiful you just know the dress is going to be 👌🏻 I’ve just cut out my next 2 #minervamakers projects and am making a start on the @megannielsenpatterns #riverdress in this John Kaldor cotton sateen. It’s my first time using this type of fabric plus my first John Kaldor and I’m already loving the design and the quality 🌺 I’m also wondering how much of this dress I’ll manage to get sewn this evening. • • • #minerva #megannielsenpatterns #cotton #cottonsateen #floral #river #saturday #saturdaysewing #ukteacherswhosew #memade #handmade

I’ve been pretty quiet on here lately, mainly due to end of year busyness at school. I’ve not been doing too much sewing OR running 😩 but did spend Sunday relaxing: moving the waist on a dress, repairing 3 items with holes/torn seams and finishing these Yanta overalls. You’ll be able to read all about them soon on the @minervacrafts blog 📝 I’m now excited for summer and already have quite a few projects planned ✂️ • • • #minervamakers #yantaoveralls #ladymcelroy #ukteacherswhosew #denim #overalls #cropped #summer #britishsummertime #sewingforsummer #helenscloset #memade #handmade

Today I completed my second @roundsheffieldrun : just under a total of 15 miles across 11 timed stages through the parks of Sheffield. Between each stage there is time for recovery, in the form of a time limited walk to the next section. There are lots of hills and some superb views of the city. This race felt tough this year but it was great to be out on the trails. At the end I spotted both @mileswithmichelle AND @bobbinsandbolts but was unable to say hello to either due to spending a significant amount of time in a queue for pizza 🍕 I think that’s my final ‘booked’ event for the summer so from now it’s just local races that I’ll be enjoying 😅 Anyone else amazed that it’s JULY tomorrow?! 🌻 • • • #rsr #roundsheffieldrun #sheffield #madeinsheffield #trails #trailrunning #summer #trailrace

These self-seeding poppies add a gorgeous pop of unexpected colour in the garden. Can you spot the hover fly who came to admire them at the same time as me? • • • #poppies #poppy #wildflowers #flower #june #petals #closeup #nature
