The selvedges these days often have interesting notes - used this to add detail to 2 dresses I made for granddaughters. The fabric was from the June 2024 luxury box - there is enough left to make a dress for me. Will make an interesting family photo.

Here is the Size Me Serene Jumpsuit pattern that I've just finished making, using my material from the luxury March box. Love it! So comfortable and the best bit is it unwraps so you can go to the loo without having to take it off! Material is perfect for it too!

Made this from the Simple Sew magazine. Very simple make. Sparse instructions but easy to figure out. Really happy with the fabric matching at the front and around the pockets.

Thank you.  Funny - I'm on my way home to cut out the Bonnie top - from the photos - out of my check fabric.  Husband wants me to do jobs - but I've said absolutely not - "I'm sewing" 😀

I store my patterns in folders, filed in numerical order. This refers to a lever arch file where I can flick through while having a cuppa and pondering my next make. Behind the pattern in the file is a notes page on each make.

Lost my sewjo for a bit after a bad make but was asked to make 2 memory bears out of my daughter in law to be grandads clothes. Have made bears before however never used the collars or a tie. Really pleased with how they turned out.
