Makes
I was so inspired by this project from Grosgrain Green, she made a scout dress by adding a gathered skirt to the scout tee pattern from Grainline Studio. She also did some really cool block printing on the fabric pieces after she cut them out to achieve this look, I really want to try this!
This colour-blocked shift dress from A Colourful Canvas totally stole my heart.
Anya’s chic and casual hudson joggers are just perfect, I can’t wait to make a black pair myself.
I have been obsessively looking at all the Inari’s out there this week because I am working on my first version. This beautiful black and white Inari from We The Sewing is so cool. I also love this sleeveless number from Fabric Tragic.
How many dresses do you think Roisin from Dolly Clackett has made? It is seriously impressive stuff. Her latest landscape print dress is to die for.
Two great outfits from Bellemegan this week! Those pants look very comfortable and go perfectly with that top.
Katie’s latest faux-croptop-and-skirt dress is really neat. I am always too intimidated to try patterns that don’t come with English instructions, but this is very encouraging!
The sleeves on this blouse from Sewionista are amazing.
Last but not least, this Riding jacket from Idle Fancy is EVERYTHING. I was literally looking at it and going ‘omg omg omg omg omg’, don’t miss this one!

This tie-back gingham shirt featured on Atlantic-Pacific is stunning. I think I want to try making this by modifying the alder shirtdress pattern.
