Sewing a classic business casual wardrobe. Slowly.

Once upon a time, fresh from university, I started working in the City. At first I struggled to find the kind of clothing that I wanted to wear. Then I slowly found a couple of labels that really worked for me – the fit was great, the style was classic, and the quality was well worth the price tag. But then I had my children, and my body changed. My favourite brands no longer fit me well at all – in fact, it wasn’t until I started sewing that I even understood exactly what those fitting issues were.

Now that I sew, I know that the changes to my waistline, the tilt of my pelvis, the curve of my back and my body proportions DON’T have to stop me from having a great working wardrobe. So I’m slowly sewing up my dream workwear wardrobe, one stitch at a time… and I hope that by documenting my projects and my processes, and releasing my sewing patterns, I can somehow help you if you’re looking to do the same!
