Blog tour: Today I joined Hilarie of @littlestitchstudio to celebrate the launch of her new book ‘Sew Bags’. A great book all about... wait for it... sewing bags! In honour of this event I have made a little drawstring bag with a triple persimmon Sashiko panel. I have also written a blog post all about it. Pop over to my journal for all the details - link in profile. #sewbags #diysashikokits #isew #diywardrobe #projectbag #diypurse #sashiko #sashikostitching

The ultimate sloppy joe! I decided to stop fighting the urge to wear sweatshirts and pants throughout winter and just GO WITH IT! I have made lots of sweatshirt patterns over the years, this is a new one on me, it’s from a Japanese sewing book, ‘Wear big clothes, wear small clothes’. It’s a book about oversized garments and its smaller counterpart. I love this fabric colour too, wine 🍷 jersey from @wearethefabricstore. I tweaked the pattern a bit, I deconstructed the sleeve to add a seam and broke up the front sleeve panel to add an extra seam and some top stitching detail. I’m wearing this with my very old @tessutifabrics #anitapants in this very cool ponti. I think I can pull this off as my contribution to #sewjapaneseinjuly ! #isew #diywardrobe #sweatshirtlove

A self confessed Sashiko addict, the lovely Amanda has just finished her second purse, an XL kit with fire engine 🚒 red thread! Lovely work @ajwaterman #diysashikokits #sashiko #sashikostitching #slowsewing

I just made up a lovely custom order for one of my customers. She has a friend who is unwell and wanted to send her something to keep her mind (and fingers) busy during a difficult time. We talked over a few options and settled on this XL kit with candy striped lining, fire engine red threads and a red zip for that final pop of colour. The brief was girly but sexy! I bloody love my customers, they have such big hearts ♥️♥️♥️ #diysashikokits #sashikostitching #slowsewing #sashiko

There is so much to love about my new jacket, I’m not sure where to start! So, new pattern from @inthefolds, the #flynnjacket - a drop shoulder, box pleat, high-low hem, giant pockets and bound seams. Yep, all the features I love and with those bound seams, it’s lovely on the inside too. I have to say, I am no stranger to this pattern having made the samples for Emily’s photo shoot for the launch, I can literally make it with my eyes closed! The fabric is also a great find! It is a second hand piece, gifted to me. I love a heavy drill, especially in this rather unusual shade of green. I finished it on Monday and have worn it everyday since! Horray! #isew #slowsewing #memade #diywardrobe #secondhandfabric

It’s a dangerous thing working about 500 metres from Tessuti Fabrics, although this is my first trip since I started my job a few months ago. I always raid the remnants table, looking for pieces to fill my kits and today I scored BIG! A floral cotton lawn, a cotton check and some Kudo slub denim from Japan. Coming to some kits very soon... @tessutifabrics #remnants #offcuts #diysashikokits

Well this turned out rather well! A great combo of my DIY Sashiko kit and a Genoa tote kit. I love a monochrome palette and this one works so well with black denim and black leather handles. I made the tote in the small size mainly to save my fingers!! Unfortunately, as with many of my labour intensive (and beautiful) projects, it’s a gift for my auntie who is 70 years young today. #diysashikokits #genoatote @bloglessanna #slowsewing #sashikostitching #sashiko
