My current project is the Simplicity Know Me ME2016 dress with the longer sleeve. It's all about the sleeves for me this dress! Big, poofy, statement sleeves. It's my first attempt at a "Big 4" pattern and is a good but not impossible challenge for my skill level (confident/advanced beginner!!). The instructions are not as easy to follow as most indie patterns but not impossible. Looking forward to time off work over Christmas to finish it. There's an invisible zip to put in.....I'm a little scared 😅

I am loving the drew that came in November's luxury box!

I have only made one, but I love it! Such a quick easy make and I wear it often!

And you can make it entirely on the overlocker!! It's a perfect pattern and I have many more planned! 

I am going to make a drew dress hack with the french terry that came in the box with the drew! I'm just waiting for the ribbing I want to come back into stock!

I've just finished a second pair of pj pants for my daughter and they were just screaming for this label  

she's nearly 16, autistic so she has sensory issues, labels go on the outside in our house lol  

CJ is home educating and has started a trend in her maths and English group she goes to- I picked her up before Xmas and six other girls were wearing pj pants to the group! 🤣🤣🤣
