My Lovely Mum!

Posted on June 22, 2014 by Trixie Lixie

This week I made a Colette Moneta dress for my Lovely Mum, so it’s her turn to be the glamour model!

I used some of our gorgeous jersey fabric which is soft and silky to the touch and drapes beautifully.

Colette Patterns are currently doing a Moneta dress sewalong so you can learn how to make this lovely easy to wear and easy to make dress.

I made myself one when the pattern first came out and it made it’s debut during Me Made May, if you missed it, here it is again:

#1 Project Per Week

Posted on June 15, 2014 by Trixie Lixie

This weeks project is a birthday present for one of my best friends whose birthday was yesterday. Its a Sewaholic Gabriola Skirt.

The fabric is a beatiful Blackberry blossom print cotton lawn that is from our website so it drapes beautifully.

I have got several projects lined up for next week so there may be more than one, I am going to be pretty busy!

Sew-alongs and #1ppw

Posted on June 8, 2014 by Trixie Lixie

This week I decided to take part in not just one sewalong, but two! I joined in with the Sewaholic Belcarra Blouse sew-along and the Colette Mabel Skirt sew-along.

I have already made a couple of Belcarra blouses and I wanted to make this one a bit different so I used some of the fabulous new lace fabric that we have in stock to make some lacey sleeves on this black cotton lawn version.

The Mabel skirt I made is the longer pencil skirt version and I used light weight cotton jersey knit in glamourous red. Both patterns are really easy to make and it only took me a couple of days to put together this gorgeous outfit!

I have also signed up for the 1 project per week sewing challenge that fellow blogger bernieandi has organised so this outfit is my week 1 for that too, ticks lots of boxes!
