My absolute favourite dress this year for wearing My absolute favourite dress this year for wearing during a heatwave. The #PatchAndBloomDress made from quilting cottons can be tightened and loosened as needed, and there's the option of sewing in bra cups so that you can even avoid the need for a bra.

The pattern is available as an instant download on the Sewillow website, Minerva.com and Etsy.
I've done a blog post on my website (I'll link in I've done a blog post on my website (I'll link in my stories) with the full details of the evolution of my sewing studio. I've had this setup like this for a while, and wanted to test it before settling on the layout, but I can confirm it's working a treat! I can honestly say that getting a dedicated cutting table (mine is A0) has been the biggest game changer, along with having my work desk not facing the wall (a Feng Shui principle).

Anyway, I hope you like seeing the changes. It's only a small room, but it's got everything I need for working, designing and sewing 🧵

This Stargazer Wearable Quilt was made by one of m This Stargazer Wearable Quilt was made by one of my pattern testers @helenjoannarandall , and I had the pleasure of photographing it in use.

From a blanket on the ground to something to wrap around your shoulders, and to wear. We headed to Rutland water to capture the Quilt being used and loved.

It’s always special to see a pattern come to life like this.

Helen used a combination of dress fabrics and cottons, and I love the darker floral pattern in the patchwork.
