I could have added many more but these are my current favourites J I’ve linked the products in each section if you would like to check them out for yourself.

Mira Dress by Fibre Mood – My Review…
I have been eyeing up the Mira dress by Fibre Mood pretty much since it came out. I absolutely love the boho style of this pattern, it has a touch of 70s style about it don’t you think? I stalked the pattern for a while on Instagram and adored the versions that other sewists were making so I knew it wouldn’t be long before I had to give it a go myself.

My thoughts on slow fashion and trying to shop more sustainably…
I LOVE clothes and I love fashion. You probably wouldn’t know this if you saw me on the school run these days. but I do. In my younger, more carefree days I would spend a large proportion of my wages on clothes every month often only wearing something once, it was almost like a hobby, clothes were my interest and I wanted something new pretty much every weekend. I’m almost ashamed to admit that now but maybe there wasn’t actually anything wrong with that at the time, it’s where I get my love of sewing from after all. I also liked to study the clothes and see how they were…
