The best bit about making your own "Elizabeth Bag" The best bit about making your own "Elizabeth Bag" is that you can use the external curved pockets to inject some personality to your bag by using any patterned fat quarter. Are you a minimalist? Stick to neutral flat colours. Are you plant obsessed? Combine leaf pattern prints. This version was a custom order made by collaborative bag designer @sew_pretty_sew_mindful for a customer wanting an alternative aesthetic. Pattern available as an instant download from the Etsy shop. I'll add a link to my stories.
I know I've been a little quiet of late due to pro I know I've been a little quiet of late due to projects related to my other job, but hoping to churn out some new patterns that have been in the pipeline in the coming months. In the meantime I thought I'd re-photograph the Sewillow Crochet Back Bra. This comfy, non-wired bra is all about that crochet detail, whilst the front is made from cotton jersey and a simple construction.

Available as an instant PDF download from my Etsy shop, with front panel templates and written crochet instructions for sizes XS - L
Inspired to try #shirring after the latest episode Inspired to try #shirring after the latest episode of #greatbritishsewingbee ? The Laurelia Vest and Dress Sewing Pattern has two shirred side panels which allows the bodice to fit snuggly and means there's no fussy fasteners. It's a great casual summer dress. I reckon my next version should be in gingham. 😁 #laureliadress #dresssewingpattern #etsysewingpattern #sewillowpatterns

The most difficult part of making the Elizabeth Ba The most difficult part of making the Elizabeth Bag is choosing which fabrics you'd like to use. 

We've rated the sewing pattern difficulty as Easy to Intermediate. The only Intermediate step is the internal  zip pocket, which is optional because the bag includes two internal slip pockets plus a magnetic clasp closure to keep items safe.

Available to purchase next week, I'll add the link to our Bio as soon as it's up. ❤

Super excited to finally share a photo of the next Super excited to finally share a photo of the next pattern release, which will be available next week!

 The Elizabeth Bag is a collaborative sewing pattern between myself and the talented @sew_pretty_sew_mindful who loves bag making. Lucy designed this bag after we threw around a few ideas of shapes and styles we both like, and also keeping in mind what the ultimate handbag size and shape should be. The two slip pockets at the front are not only decorative (plus great for fabric  scrap busting), but perfect for quick access items like business cards, nail files etc. The bag has magnetic class on the sides to expand, and when closed, they give the bag a lovely shape. The Elizabeth Bag is even big enough for the average 13"-14" laptop, and has internal slip pockets, plus an optional internal zip pocket for additional security.

The pattern comes in 3 x  print options (A4/Us letter to print-at-home, A1 copyshop and a Papersaver option for tracing) and instructions have  step-by-step illustrations. 

Watch this space as we share more photos and details for the release next week.
The short Sleeve version of the Kadsura Wrap Top ( The short Sleeve version of the Kadsura Wrap Top (or as my partner calls it, the Star Wars Top 😆). The long sleeve version has big billowy sleeves, and I often wear both the long and short sleeve version to gymnastics class because I like how the top hugs my waist so that it doesn't ride up when I do any upside down stuff. I used a lightweight 4 way stretch cotton jersey fabric for this version, but the generous sizing does allow for woven fabrics if you're not making this as active wear.
