Hello all you sensational subscribers and welcome to my December newsletter. I know it's been a little while, since I was taking my time writing my latest bumper review on the Eden Coat by Tilly and the Buttons. Since then I've up a gorgeous velvet Zadie Jumpsuit, more on this below.
I'm also hoping to give a shout out to someone who left a wonderful comment on my website back in July that I'd missed. See below if this was you! |

This is my most detailed review yet, including lots to say about my process with pattern matching, and how I overcame my mistake in cutting the sleeves too short. | | |

I made this coat on a 4 day workshop with Claire Tyler in Midhurst, West Sussex. Here is my review of the workshop, including information about the sewing studio and places to stay. | | |

In November, I attended a 3 day sewing retreat in Dartington Hall, Devon arranged by Claire Tyler. I didn't have much time to plan my project so I went with something I'd made before - the Zadie Jumpsuit by Paper Theory Patterns. I decided to try sewing with velvet for the first time, and oh my gosh, the result was totally worth the effort. The full review will be coming up in the next newsletter. |

Somehow I managed to miss a lovely anonymous comment on my post about a Rounded back adjustment without centre back seam or shoulder dart, that I used for fitting the Freya knit dress. I would love to say a big thank you to that person, as I had shared my process in the hope that others would try it and see whether it worked for them too.
"Kay, this is a wonderful solution to the problem I was having. I didn't want to do the two methods for a lower back curve ie. a seam in the back or ... straightening the back and easing the extra in the shoulder seam ... Your method worked great in my knit dress. No center back seam and no extra fabric at the shoulder seam. Thank you so much! You are young, figuring fitting out and helping others. Wonderful! I am really grateful for this solution."
