The Mortmain Bike Dress

Last weekend I decided it was high time to try a new dress pattern (my wardrobe is overflowing with Simplicity 2444's!). Step forward the Mortmain Dress by indie pattern company Gather. The dress is described as being for the ambitious beginner. It features a 'fitted bodice and waistband, box pleated skirt and exposed zip'. You can opt for sleeveless or 3/4 sleeves with a cuff and button fastening. This really had the potential to be a dream dress especially after seeing gorgeous versions from Mary @ Idle Fancy and Ruth @ Nightingale and Dolittle plus the variety on the Pinterest board.

Baby Romper

Hello!
Hope you've all had a lovely weekend. Mine was very relaxed and involved playing with the kittens and making several toiles of the Mortmain dress... but more on that later in the week!

Today I'd like to show you the baby romper which I made for my (nearly) 6 month old niece Winnie. I used Simplicity 1447 for this romper as there are so many variations in the one pattern. My sister had said that rompers are easier than dresses at the moment as they won't ride up!

The Very Hungry Caterpillar Quilt

This quilt has been epic and I think it’s probably going to hold the title of my first and last quilt…
