The Daily Stitch

Next month I’m marrying my best friend, Ed. On Friday night, to help me celebrate, some of my wonderful friends took me out for a hen night on the town. Nothing too crazy, mind, but very good fun. And there was dancing. I was instructed to wear white but I honestly don’t own much white. […]

I’m a little late to the Sorbetto party but I am absolutely thrilled ¬†to have¬†¬†finally arrived.

I mean, not scared, exactly, just dreading learning a new […]

Well I did it! I managed to get my top into the Spring Top Sewalong pool before the deadline. I actually finished this a couple of weeks ago but we hadn’t found time for a photo shoot. So here we are and I can’t say it was my best hair day but what are you […]

As a reminder, the Kelly Skirt by Megan Nielsen is a flattering high waisted A-line skirt with fitted waistline. It features button front placket, wide […]
