A journey towards sustainable sewing
Every year around Feb/March, I update this list so that I can add new free patterns, check/update all the links and remove all the patterns that are no longer available for free (TIP: they don't always stay free, so if you see a pattern you like, I recommend you download it!). This year I have…
I am continuing sharing makes that were made a while ago and not yet blogged. Today I am talking about the Closet Core Pouf. First of all I want to say that because this pattern is pieced together it would make an amazing scrapbuster - in fact, I believe it was originally designed to be…
I love a free pattern, who doesn't?! I love them so much I keep this list of hundreds of free patterns to help other sewists find them quickly and easily. This particular pattern is the Peppermint Wrap Skirt and has been on my radar since it's release. It's drafted by Emily of In The Folds,…

If you have been following this blog for a while you may have seen me mention some fabric scraps I bought from my favourite RTW brand at the end of last year. Once a year, Palava (the only RTW brand I still buy!) sell off some of their fabric scraps in an effort to stick…
