Me Made May – Knickers!

Posted on April 30, 2014 by Trixie Lixie

Well it all kicks off tomorrow with Me Made May and I have pledged to wear at least one handmade garment every day during May, so I thought I had better make some more knickers. This pair is my favorite so far, I used Moda Sewing box buttons fabric.

The Belcarra Blouse

Posted on April 20, 2014 by Trixie Lixie

When the brand new Sewaholic Belcarra blouse patterns arrived this week I couldn’t wait to have a go at making one, it was so EASY to make that I immediately made another one!

Two blouses in one day, I think this pattern is going to be very useful, especailly if, like me, you make lots of skirts and never have any tops to wear them with.

The first one is made using some lovely embroidered and sequinned white cotton lawn from our dressmaking fabrics range.

My next one is made from some of our Gorgeous Gingham which I think is really retro style!

My favorite is the gingham one, so here I am wearing it with my Colette Beignet skirt

I just need to make a few more Belcarra’s and then I will be ready for Me-Made-May!

Tote bags

Posted on April 6, 2014 by Trixie Lixie

April is always a busy month of birthdays for me, as I have said before, I think Tote bags make a great present. These ones have a bit more to offer than my usual book bag style, they are fully lined, with a gusset on the bottom and a very useful pocket inside.

I love the fact that I can choose from our extensive range of fabrics at www.trixielixie.co.uk
