Organisation!

Oh my gosh you guys! I've found the most amazing way to organise all my sewing projects.
If you know me, you'll know I'm huge into organisation. So much so, that I have to bookmark, label and document all the things I plan to do, have done, want to do (but probably won't) etc etc.

Thanks to Sophie over at Sophie Bach's Blog for blogging about this amazing app. You can use it both on your laptop and phone - so no excuses to not be organised this year!

I have organised my pattern wish list into pants, dresses, tops, lounge wear and skirts.
I also have my pattern wish list on patternreview.com, but i needed something a little more customisable, and this was it!


I plan to do a board for my completed projects and maybe even a board for my cross stitch projects.
Im afraid organising will probably take more time than actually sewing! haha.

Happy Lunar New Year!

Happy Lunar New Year to those who celebrate it! I love this time of year.

Added 4 press studs down the side in place of zips. This was a challenging sew as it was my first time working with brocade. This fa...

New Year, New Resolutions!

Happy New Year! (I'm only a whole month late to the party) With a new year, comes a new years resolution. I figured it was about time I started to really ramp up my sewing and get back into the swing of it. So my aim for this year (lets not call it a resolution just yet) is to create one garment per month. Why do i set myself impossible goals?! I don't have a lot of time on my hands with a 5 month old, BUT I am determined to stick with it and learn as much as I can on the way. I bet you were expecting a resolution like, 'no more junk food'. Haha as if! I have recently signed up to sewing.patternreview.com, which, if you don't already know about this site, has soooo many pattern reviews, machine reviews, everything reviews! It also allows you to follow other sewists that inspire you and or have the same fashion tastes, and allows you to create wish lists of patterns you desire.  This is where I will be tracking the patterns I intend to make, and even the...
