Stokx Stadtmantel: at last

I have never seen a Stokx Stadtmantel I haven’t immediately loved, so have been desperate to add one to my wardrobe for at least a year. I had a lot of trouble printing the pattern, so the lovely Lindy of Stokx Patterns sent me a hard copy all the way from Berlin. So generous! So […]

A luxurious summer top

During the SewApril competition earlier this year I won some fabric from Fibers to Fabric and I chose this beautiful viscose rayon, which feels like silk, it’s so drapey and smooth, and yes, silky!

I used some lightweight […]
