Absolutely love this fabric from @thefabricobsession. I made the very simple rectangle top by The Sewing Therapy. As it's a wide fabric I have enough to hopefully make some shorts

Here are my Closet Core Pietras wide leg version in a lovely cotton flannel type suiting from a shop in St Helen's (an alladins cave of fabric but I can't remember the name). Paired with my second Style Arc Rowie sleeved version Ponte Roma, I need to length the sleeve by an inch for future makes.

Sewed the style Arc Rowie top during The Fabric Obsession virtual on Tuesday. Rowie has two pleats on the shoulders and gathering at the side seams which creates lovely shaping. I used a lovely Ponte Roma from a local shop Crafts and Quilts and already have another sleeved version cut out in a rich chocolate brown.

I paired it with my favourite wide leg pietras which I need to get daylight pictures of.

I made a size 8 for my first toile but have shortened the bodice above the bust as this one is a bit deep in the armscye area.

My final entry for the #sewbold2026 and it is Rossi dress by The Bold one in a gorgeous viscose linen from pound fabrics. My sunset dress.
Low square front and back version.
I made a size 10 but had to add some back darts as it was gaping, so will need to take an inch from the centre back for the next one. This is the shortest length with an inch hem. I watched Phillipa's @petite_seams and did the same with the ties.

My favourite shorts pattern #soikeirashorts. These have two short pieces of elastic at the side seams to give that extra bit of room on those days you might need it. Features fly zip and turned up hem. The fabric is a lovely stretch cotton from the Fabric Obsession remnant sale.

Paired with the Pattern Emporium Game on t shirt.

Pattern insider here with the #soinicoledressaddon. I omitted the collar and pockets for this toile using a viscose twill with slight stretch. I made a size 8 with a half inch sloped shoulder adjustment and an inch from the back and front bodice. Nicole/add on pack has been added as a masterclass on their stitch school

I had a 100 x 100cm piece left from 3m after cutting out the marcel dress so I've used it to make another #soiemilytop hack. This is my first entry into the #ohscrap26 run by Emma of Cinnamon Daisy. I've also cut a tie for the marcel dress and a hairband 😬

My first entry into the #sewbold2026 challenge run by Becky. Love a little Johnny fabric and this one is so bold and vibrant. it was also a dream to sew. It's still available at The Fabric Obsession.

My son spied a new fabric I purchased from @rubiesrags and asked if I'd make a shirt for him. I asked for recommendations during a recent @sew.letssparkle virtual and the Tropical shirt by Wardrobe by Me looked like a good option. He's allowed me to post pictures with no face 😊. #selflesssewing #wbmtropicalshirt by @gingerninja_sews

Pattern insider with the new release from a Sew Over It. A super quick and easy sew! I have made version 2 in a melange knit from @poundfabrics. The #soibrontecape calls for a 4 way stretch lightweight knit fabric with at least 70% stretch. I'm wearing my cape with the #soihayleydress. I love it and will be on the look out for sparkly stretch for an evening look.

This is my entry into the #patternhackathon26

I have used the Sew Over It Emily top as the base pattern slashing and spreading the neckline to create the cowl neck. I still need to make a couple of tweaks to the fit but fairly happy with this attempt and saved buying a new pattern.
