CONGRATULATIONS to Sharlene
on her latest pattern release.
Lots of you asking about the trousers by my bestie Sharlene Oldroyd ✨
I have worn both pairs so much since I made them and you always know your onto a winner when you use Liberty Fabrics silk for your second tester version
Mods for me were to add that amazing cuff detail at the culotte line as I like my trousers longer then when I make the culotte version I will add to that length.
I absolutely love them but swipe to the last slide - the deck chair attacked them and I need to do an invisible repair 🥲
As always whey Sharlene’s patterns you get more than just the one option you can make shorts too - so 3 for the price of 1 what’s not to LOVE. ❤️
So proud of you ❤️

Now I know my slow sewing is still faster than most…
but what I’ve been loving is also rediscovering patterns I’ve wanted to make forever. Like this ❤️ Lydia Naomi | Sewing Patterns highly recommended by my beautiful friend Gina.
I loved making this in my Zoom on Wednesday chatting away with the girls. I just squeezed it out of The remaining fabric from (pattern coming soon)
I do but I still think this would be a fab entry Becki August Challenge

At last I’ve uploaded the Dior section on my Vlog it’s only a short one as I really wanted to immerse myself into it with my eyes and not looking through the camera. I’ve also omitted it from the full vlog as I don’t want to spoil it for anyone planning to go.
I’ve really enjoyed looking back a few months later. The excitement was real and it was lovely to just watch and smile 😊
Nothing better than being with a group of people (ages are disregarded) as we all have the same heart and passion and we just get each other ❤️❤️❤️❤️

New vlog ready to watch on me taking it slower !
Also looking in my wardrobe and enjoying what I’ve made or altered from the past.
Using August as a massive reset and feeling so much better doing so.
My silk trousers are so versatile I love wearing these.
Gorgeous with my Gabor Shoes UK Sandals too.
How are you getting on?

Today I’m sharing my last commitment in my long list for Patterns and Plains you all know I had totally overcommitted (my own fault) Amanda has waited patiently for this dress Sewing Patterns by Freedom my sister actually asked for this pattern and I am going to teach her at some point to make herself one but in the meantime I made this up and gifted my gifted fabric to her. She loves it and wore it in her holiday in Croatia last week.
The fabric was a dream to sew.
Watch my latest vlog on me making this , seeing plans and get a discount code at the end.
