Most recent make: a polkadot chambray #HinterlandDress by @sewliberated. It’s definitely not my usual style, very loose fitting and cottony, but I love everyone’s versions and wanted to give it a try as an easy, summery dress to help get through this crazy heat 🔥 I lengthened the bodice (standard adjustment for me) and cut it down to knee length. Also cut out a size or two too big but with the waist tie it cinches in nicely. Just wanted a very relaxed fit. I’m still not 100% convinced it will suit me as it’s just so different from my norm, but let’s see how much wear it gets. A fun make in less than a day ☀️

💕First make of 2020! Originally this was going to be a little playsuit for the party season but one thing led to another and I cut it up and shortened the shorts and now we have this sweet, feminine, pink lacy PJ/lingerie set. Modified from the jumpsuit pattern from @simplysewingmag, Issue 16. A productive start to the year; let’s see if I can keep this going!

Found some remnant pretties around the Brunswick fabric shops this morning 😍 I seriously have a pink problem 💓💗💞

Finally wore my self-drafted top out for the first time! Although it was covered by a jacket most of the time (damn Victoria is CHILLY and it’s meant to be SUMMER). Silk was from @tylersfabrics and feels like a dream. Super cute high-waist Smartie Pants are from my favourite @review_australia 💞

Pretty much the only shot I got of my dress and it’s a classic #bathroomselfie, #notevenembarrassed. I finished the dress about 30 mins into the event and was only about an hour late, so that’s a win to me. Huge thanks to @gumnutbaby80 for organising a lovely afternoon out and all the Spoolettes for being such a delightful and welcoming collection of inspiring people🎅🏻 #brisbanespoolettes

Taking a break from drafting to make a toile for this uber-feminine dress pattern, Simplicity 1691. I am actually surprisingly happy with the fit straight out of the packet which is almost unheard of. I am also low key obsessed with the flouncey sleeve thing 😁💞 This will be made up in a super girly floral floaty satin fabric 🌷#simplicitypatterns
