Bakerloo Dress – organza collarless, frilled skirt hack!

Bakerloo Dress – organza collarless, frilled skirt hack!

in Pattern hacks on 02/25/21

Isn't it amazing the difference a couple of design tweaks and fabric choice can make to a pattern? The flamingo organza extravaganza above is barely recognisable as a Bakerloo dress, and yet the alterations were in fact minimal. Could this be one of the most extra things I've ever sewn? Quite ...

Carnaby Dress – peplum top hack

in Pattern hacks on 08/17/20

Hello! Last week, when temperatures in London hit the mid-thirties, I had a heatwave-brainwave. What I really wanted to be wearing, above all else, was a super-loose, breezy top that would be a whiz to whip up – and I knew just the way to make one. Here's how I hacked the Carnaby Dress pattern ... View Post

How to create a keyhole opening in a centre-back seam

How to create a keyhole opening in a centre-back seam

in Pattern hacks, Sewing tutorials on 08/17/20

A keyhole opening is a very pretty feature to have in the back of a blouse or dress. The Park Lane Dress and Blouse pattern features a keyhole opening with button and loop closure and I thought it would be helpful to reproduce that section of the Park Lane instructions here for anyone who wants to ...

Happy Friday, it’s finally here - the Kew Dress Happy Friday, it’s finally here - the Kew Dress and Skirt is now available in sizes 16-28! 🎉 Here’s gorgeous Laura aka @thespeckyseamstress wearing version 1 - check out the product page for other stunning tester versions across all 3 variations! 

The printed version will be available in two weeks’ time. The Kew skirt expansion pack needs another round of testing but I’m hoping it will be ready in 2-3 weeks (check our Laura’s other versions for a sneak peek!). Then Park Lane will be the next to join the 16-28 range! 😀

A few days’ late but this was my Valentine’s o A few days’ late but this was my Valentine’s outfit - something I’d been dreaming of since the release of Bakerloo! Yes indeed - it’s a barely recognisable hacked #bakerloodress, made from silk organza without the collar but with an added skirt frill. Underneath I’m wearing a shortened and tightened satin #sadieslipdress. Is this one of the most grandly impractical outfits I’ve ever made? Probably! But what’s the point of sewing if we can’t go mad with it sometimes?! 

Let me know if you’d like a blog post on creating this hack as it’s super simple!

Just look at this fabulous version by @franklymarvellous with a bow from @daisybeenecklines 😍 Since watching Bridgerton last week (behind the times, I know!) I want anything fancy, frilly and extravagant and am planning a bow-laden Bakerloo accordingly! 🎀 Anyone else find their wardrobe plans now being dictated by Netflix?! 😄
