Possible new favourite summer outfit combo featuri Possible new favourite summer outfit combo featuring another pair of Safiya Trousers by @tillybuttons and a new pattern to me, the Daphne Top by @bfpatterns 💕

I adapted the Safiyas slightly to have a drawstring waist (not that you can see that here) I feel like they look a little bit more summery that way. I will talk more about the Daphne Top soon as there’s a lot to say (I’ve just uploaded a full sew along over on Patreon if you fancy watching) but for now I can’t get over this lovely cotton Swiss dot fabric and the vintage lace trim - my kind of top for sure 😆💕

What are you sewing at the moment??

Comment ‘SUMMER’ for the links to the pattern and Comment ‘SUMMER’ for the links to the pattern and fabric I used for this dress - plus the sew-along video too 👇🏻💕

I doubted myself throughout the whole process of sewing this dress, the fabric, should it be sleeveless or have sleeves, will the navy suit me! Now it’s done however, I’m absolutely thrilled with it. New gingham convert over here 🙋🏼‍♀️

Save this for your next ‘moving up a notch’ sewing Save this for your next ‘moving up a notch’ sewing project 🧵 

I think advice for moving from beginner to intermediate level sewing can sometimes be few and far between can’t it. We spend all of our time getting started it can feel hard to know what to do once we’re past that easy garment level.

Here are five patterns I would recommend to a confident beginner wanting to take their sewing up a notch (and what each pattern will teach you). These are patterns I have sewn and highly rate in terms of instructions and also how well the pattern comes together when you’re actually sewing it.

Would you give any of these a go as a confident beginner?? What pattern would you add if you’re more advanced? 😊💕

I am so pleased with how this little pattern hack turned out. I have a gingham one and possibly a chambray one on my ‘to-sew’ list now. I don’t think you could ever have too many 😆
