Monnie the Mini Mannequin and Sample Sewing!
Whilst sewing samples or practising sewing techniques could be thought of as boring I have come to the realisation that there are huge benefits to be had. As a very visual and kinaesthetic learner I am surprised at myself that I hadn't realised this before now, but there you go, I'm there now!
Tadah! Festival Dresses
Firstly I would like to begin by saying that I LOVE this pattern. It could not be more perfect for the Brisbane Summer (as long as it is worn with sunscreen!). Sizes range from 1-12. It offers quite a few different options - three bodice fronts, four bodice backs and three skirt options, plus optional pockets and ruffle sleeves.

Sewing The Rosie - Elegance and Feminity
I thought I would share my experience of making the Sew Over it Rosie Dress. I love this dress and think it looked perfect on my model Sophie. The combination of structured bodice with the linen fabric resulted in a versatile dress that could either be worn to a wedding or to the park on a summer's day.

Mother and Daughter Sewcialisation
As someone relatively new to sewing I initially presumed it was a lonely hobby, however I have been pleasantly surprised by the community of sewers that exist - online, friends you didn’t know were a dab hand with a sewing machine and new friends I’ve made through classes, workshops and sewing groups. I love nothing more than chatting through a pattern that you’re both making and sharing ideas and tips. I think keeping things as ‘sewcial’ as possible adds to the fun and enjoyment of the overall sewing process, plus you might learn a few things from each other.
