African Print Culottes

Hi Everyone, 

So the lovely Adaku from African Print Fabric company; Dovetailed sent me some gorgeous fabric to use for my next project. And I was so excited to make something with it when she sent me this amazing print. 

I've been wanting to make a pair of culottes for ages, and this fabric gave me the excuse to. I've used the Holly jumpsuit pattern by By Hand London and hacked it to make a cropped, pleated version. Luckily Elisalex from By Hand London did a blog post on how to do it, so it was a great guide for changing the original trouser pattern.

The Handmade Fair | Bowood

Hi Everyone, 

So the weekend before last I had the pleasure of attending the new Southwest Handmade Fair at Bowood House, Calne. I not only had a stand but was in the Janome Tent again, twice a day, teaching Fabric Baskets and Dressmaking Tips and Tricks to loads of wonderful people. 

Harriet and I. I'm wearing my rib knit Briar Tee and Marigold Trousers 

I caught up with so many crafty friends, including the amazingly talented water-colourist Harriet de Winton, who was also doing workshops. She's a wonderful person to be around and she also painted this years show map!

Briar Tees - Take Two

Hi Everyone, 

With everything going on at the moment I've neglected the blog slightly. And because of that I never posted June's Blogger Network post on here. 

If you want to read about my latest Briar Tees, you can read my post on the Minerva Crafts Blogger Network HERE. I am over the moon with the comfort of these, and they've been so useful in this amazing weather we've been having too.
