I whipped up the easiest pair of trousers the other day. Took me less than an hour, that’s how simple they are. And I love the cotton gingham fabric. Feels so light and breezy perfect for the sunny weather we’ve been having.

Pattern: #isipisipants by Fæbrik
Fabric by #fabricgalore

Another Aspen dress complete! I couldn’t resist this tropical banana denim, also by #fabricgodmother. I shortened the sleeves and skirt length, otherwise no changes. Can’t get enough of this sewing pattern, it comes together so well!

Another #fgaspen in the making. How could I resist the bananas?! 🍌

Finally got some photos of the Aspen dress by #fabricgodmother. I love it so much! Navy corduroy bought at Edinburgh Fabrics. One of the best fabric shops I know.

I finally have my machine back and she’s in better shape than ever. Have been dying to start on the Aspen dress so that’s what I’m doing today.

My entry for #sewskychallenge2025 and I’m so extra I’m posting this on Valentine’s Day. I do love a theme.

The pattern is of course the popular #patinablouse from #FridayPatternCompany, and I made no alterations.

I bought the fabric from #Heysewsister, my fave online shop.

Almost there with the Patina blouse. It’s a great project, I’ve really enjoyed sewing it up, and the fit seems to be bang on.

Made a bit of progress with the Patina blouse. I finally tackled the sleeve slit placket and my god was it a battle! But I persevered and succeeded. Coming up, all the fun bits of attaching the sleeves, sewing the sides and add on the cuffs.

I accidentally ordered an industrial sized roll of tracing paper. It’s taller than my child. Explains the high transport cost, shipped in a lorry.

My Scottish Frocktail dress last year. Who am I to resist all the bows?! 🎀🎀🎀

My latest WIP. I finally jumped on the Patina blouse bandwagon and I can see why it’s so popular. So far it’s been a hoot!

One of my favourite makes lately. I shamelessly copied the Vogue V1723 dress pattern by Frankensteining different sewing patterns I already had. Shocked it actually worked!

I bought the fabric from Minerva. It’s a metallic brocade aka plastic. Will be sure to give it lots of wears for years+++.

Hello! I’m Louise and I like to make stuff.

I sewed this wrap dress a long time ago, and I still love it and wear it.

I bought this beautiful fabric from Hey Sew Sister. Her online fabric shop is amazing! The sewing pattern is from the Norwegian brand Fæbrik. They are also amazing!
