Great pattern matching! Well done! x

Hi Jasmin, I don't have lots of experience or knowledge with trouser fitting, but wondering if you've tried these resources:

So - did everyone enjoy the Stitch Festival? It was intense & exhausting but also INCREDIBLE!! Loved meeting sewing friends, old and new, as well as browsing the stands and making a few little purchases. Also LOVED doing the catwalk show. Super fun! Bring on the next event! 

Think I'll try and make a simple fabric basket to use up some bits I have lying around.

Oh wow. Think I'll try a simple fabric basket to put mu clips in.

I don't know. I've made a few bit (garments) but never wear them as when I've done previously I've had a few negative comments so think it's confidence.

I followed the advice I was kindly given by sewists on the forum and it's the TATB Stevie top. Great pattern and easy to follow instructions. Sewing this has really helped to boost my confidence in sewing garments and see where I can improve. I'd never heard of under stitching before so that's a new skill I've learnt!

Thanks Hayley! I will look at these.

I've also looked at Nina Lee Holland Park dress & By Hand London Jenna dress.   

I feel like I have seen this dress somewhere!!! I found a couple of possible options...
