Temptation, thy name is @selvedgeandbolts ... I’m really trying not to buy fabric until I’ve sewed up a significant amount of my stash. But then the lovely Dibs had to go and source all these beautiful fabrics and just like that, my willpower was like “see ya!!! 💨🏃🏾‍♀️🛫” ... now to decide how to use them and then be brave enough to cut into these beauties 😨😍 . #myselvedgeandbolts

The kids are busy doing some drawing and colouring in, so I thought I would do some too! Daydreaming of my ideal power suit. The hat might be a bit much for the office though 🤣 #novicesketching #croquis #sewingplans #lovetosew

H O L I D A Y 🏖: I made just one new dress for our holiday - I would have been too stressed if I’d tried to do any more, and I actually do have plenty of options! But I do look forward to wearing this linen dress tomorrow. The linen has been in my stash for so long that I can’t remember where I got it from, and the dress is self-drafted. It should feel nice and cool in the sunshine while we take in the sights! . #RandR #nokids #sewingformyholidays #sunshine

I kinda think the G in “Mimi G” stands for genius... on the blog today is my review of @mimigstyle’s beautiful cropped trench pattern, #s8890. Spoiler alert: I love it, it’s amazing - buy it, make it and love it too! . #diycroppedtrench #dressmaker #sewcialist #imakemyownclothes #whyisew @simplicity_creative_group #s8890

She needs hemming, a belt, possibly a button (undecided!) and a good press. After which, I’m beginning to think she’ll be a longtime favourite 😍... #workinprogress #oneofakind #sewingismysuperpower #slowbutsteady

I want to work on my hand sewing generally, so I find that these days I’m minded to find ways to add small touches like the understitching of this collar, which I did by hand with a pickstitch. It’s not the most even but I do love the look. Practice, practice, practice! . #workinprogress #sewingproject #s8890 #croppedtrench #needspressing
