Welcome! I'm so thrilled you're here! I'm Helene, and this blog is about my sewing, dressmaking, quilting, knitting, and sometimes other craft exploits.
A resounding yes! Nikki Mallalieu has just put out two brand new patterns. And when I say “just”, I mean actually just today! The first is this simply sumptuous Beauty Case pattern:
You Sew Girl! | Beauty Case
I don’t know about you, but I want one! And don’t you just love the fabric on this one?
You Sew Girl! | Beauty Case – inside
The inside is equally gorgeous, with so many little pockets on the inside for all kinds of little treasures! Makeup for sure, or skin care products, or jewellery. I know someone who made on for their young daughter as a first sewing kit, filled with sewing needles, pins, tape measure, and other bits and pieces. I think I’d like one to take away with me on holidays, and walk onto the plane with this cutie patootie in hand. I imagine it’d get heaps of attention! What would you use yours for?
The second pattern release is the Poppet, a revamped, refurbished, refreshed, and renewed pattern that Nikki had released ages ago. It’s rather divine!
You Sew Girl! Poppet
I don’t have any other photos just yet, but I think it’d make a lovely purse to take out of an evening. Or even during the day if you’re having lunch out. Don’t you think? And if you love Ink & Spindle fabrics, our fat quarters will be absolutely perfect for this project!
Stitch 56 | Ink & Spindle: Grevillea in Greylead and Mustard
How divine! They’re due in our shop tomorrow, so you can order immediately, and, depending on where you live, you can have the pattern and all the bits and pieces (like interfacing, swivel hooks, zipper pulls, etc, available in our shop) in time for some serious sewing on the weekend!
