Summer Sewing

Hello all you awesome subscribers and welcome to my June newsletter. I share my full review of the Heather Blazer by the Friday Pattern Company which has been getting a good number of outings, and is coming with me on a cruise next week. Read on to see more about my current work in progress - the Zadie Jumpsuit.

New blog posts

I started sewing the Heather Blazer on a workshop with Claire Tyler and picked up a lot of hints and tips including learning what a plastron was. Once I'd finished it, I have to admit I liked it but didn't necessarily love it and explain why in my post. However, the real test is in whether I regularly pick it out of the wardrobe, and actually I do and have packed it for my next holiday :)

Zadie Jumpsuit

This is one of those patterns that I have lusted after for a while, but the thought of trying to fit it sounded like a difficult project and I procrastinated. So when I saw that there was a workshop at Bristol sewing store Like Sew Amazing to fit a jumpsuit, I signed up straight away. It was really helpful and my latest post describes all the adjustments I made, some of which were prior to sewing the toile which fit surprisingly well.
