A rare pic of us and an sunny afternoon well spent. An ordinary day that turned out to be special, no particular reason. Being together, mooching in charity shops, a drink at the pub and lunch @thethirstybirdwimborne Treats for everyone from @theeaststreetdeli & @smallblockdoughnuts ordered for pick up on Saturday. Those simple everyday things that we all took for granted pre pandemic have become moments to treasure right? . . . #eaststreetdeli #totallylocally #supportlocalbusinesses #shopindependent #storetraits #prettyshopfronts #sustainableliving #visitdorsetofficial #dorsetlife #dorsetliving #wimborneminster #sewover50 #validress #littlestoriesofmylife #livemoremagic #theartofslowliving #inspirationirl #shareacalmmoment

Overjoyed . . . At how this #validress by @patternfantastique turned out. Pure linen Is a pleasure to wear in this heat! . This was originally a large table cloth bought in the sale a couple of years ago from @hmhome with the intention of using it as fabric. . I placed the pattern to make the most of the stripes, and cut and saved the selvedges to add to the hem as a decorative detail. I slightly shortened the sleeves and did not add the curved hem from the original pattern design, lengthening the dress instead. The bodice I cut twice to use as a self lining instead of facings. . Hands up if you approve 🙌🏻 ? . I’m on a roll with my sewing this month, it truly does make me happy 😊 . 📷 @industrial.restorations ❤️ . . . #patternfantastique #sewover50 #sewyourown #memade #memadeootd #memadeeveryday #memadewardrobe #sewcialist #isew #isewmyownclothes #handmadewardrobe #handmadecloset #sewover50dresses #sewtogetherforsummer #ecosewing #selfsewnwardrobe #sewsewsew #sewhappy #sewcialite #sewista #sewistsgonnasew #sewallthethings #sewmuchfun #sewingbloggeruk #sewistsofinstagram #sewaddicted #midlifeinfluencers #midlifestyle

My first self sewn proper hat. . Sorrento bucket hat. Pattern by @elbe_textiles Fabric 100% pure linen from @sew__jessalli. . Notes, I made it larger as pattern only goes up to size L which is 24” and I needed a 25” so technically a size XL. (It’s for my mate she has a big head 😜) Also added in a medium to heavy weight iron on interfacing. As the previous trial hat was very floppy. This one is 👍🏻 perfect. . Being posted tomorrow now praying that it fits ! Fingers crossed 🤞🏻 . . . #hatsewingpattern #sewinghats #sorrentobuckethat #sewover50 #sewyourown #memade #memadeootd #memadeeveryday #memadewardrobe #sewcialist #isew #isewmyownclothes #handmadewardrobe #handmadecloset #sewover50hats #ecosewing #selfsewnwardrobe #sewsewsew #sewhappy #sewcialite #sewista #sewistsgonnasew #sewallthethings #sewmuchfun #sewingbloggeruk #linenhat #simplestyle #midlifestyle #sewistsofinstagram #sewaddicted
