Coming soon! My 8 year old wanted to make a dress for his girlfriend for Valentine's day. We had such a lovely time creating it this week and her face was beaming on the playground when we handed it over this afternoon. We have documented our sewing together so stay tuned for the full sewing lesson! Fabric - flamingo viscose available on my shop Pattern - mini indigo from Tilly and the Buttons Mini Makes book

Join me as I sew the Wildergown by Friday Pattern Company using a gorgeous new fabric from the Craft Cotton Company! This viscose-cotton blend features three stunning prints from the Crafts of Tranquility collection, inspired by the V&A Museum in London. The finished dress will be on display at the CHSI trade show at the end of February, and the fabric is set for release in summer—but fabric shops can pre-order it now! In this video, I take you through the entire sewing process, from cutting out the pattern to the final stitches, sharing tips and lessons learned along the way. Let me know in the comments what you think of this fabric and if you've ever sewn the Wildergown before!

I usually just run an online fabric shop but a few times a year I take my shop out to my local community. Today was that day! We had a fantastic time seeing beautiful fabric go out to new homes and chatting with fellow sewing enthusiasts. I always make cakes and put on free tea and coffee but people can donate if they wish. We raised £125 for the charity CALM and my little boys primary school. How fantastic is that?!

Watch me sew up the Ethel Blouse from Tiana’s Closet, a free sewing pattern you can download and try yourself! In this video, I’ll take you through the entire process, from cutting the fabric to constructing the blouse. Along the way, I made a few mistakes (oops!), but I’ll share what went wrong and how I fixed them. For this project, I used a William Morris cotton-viscose blend, which was kindly sent to me so I could create a garment to be displayed at CHSI, a major trade show. It’s a beautiful fabric to sew with—I'll share my thoughts on it as I go! If you're looking for a simple and stylish DIY blouse, this could be the perfect project! Grab a cuppa, and let’s sew together. 📌 Get the free pattern here: https://tianascloset.com/index.php/2024/06/07/ethel-ruffle-peplum-blouse-free-pdf-sewing-pattern/ 📌 The fabric isn't available yet but I will share as soon as it is. 👍 Don’t forget to like, comment, and subscribe!

Join me as I visit the Newark Quilt Show 2025 in the UK! Last week, I spent a lovely day with my Mum and her friend exploring this small but perfectly formed event. The show featured stunning quilts, a variety of stands, and plenty of inspiration for sewing enthusiasts. Hosted by Grosvenor Shows, who organise quilt shows across the UK, it's a must-visit for any quilting fan. Come and take a look around with me!
