Scout tee variation

My first Scout tee was a bit of a disaster. I managed to mess up the printing of the pattern, and ended up with a very odd oversized version. Also looking back – I have no idea what I was thinking with that fabric. This time, I went oversized on purpose..

Sequins – a festival requirement

I sing in the kick-ass women’s only pop choir Lips. This summer we have two pretty monumental gigs coming up, Camp Bestival and Bestival – two pretty big festivals in the UK. Sadly I will miss be bigger of the two, Bestival, as I will be living in Denmark then (major sad face). But two weeks from now we’ll be rocking it out at Camp Bestival. Can’t. Bloody. Wait.

A short note on body image and sewing

Making clothes has completely changed not only the clothes I choose to wear, but also how I look at my body.

Greeting’s sewers. Now if you were ever in doubt – Katy and Laney’s new Tap Shorts pattern is brilliant, and a must sew. Not usually a big fan of short shorts, I bit the bullet and I don’t regret a thing.

How easy were they to make you ask?
