Last year, I treated myself to a metre of gorgeous Art Gallery jersey fabric from Minerva and made it up into a simple boat neck tee shirt towards the end of the summer. I ended up putting it away and forgetting about it so it was a nice surprise when I came across it in my drawer.

My new toy :-)
Anyone who’s read any of my previous posts will see that I don’t use an overlocker for stretch fabrics, nor for finishing other items. Instead, I use a zigzag stitch and edging foot which works fine, but does take a bit longer, as does using a stretch stitch where it’s required.

After much research, toiling and trial & error I'm so happy to finally have a well fitting underwired bra set - the DL01 from MakeBra & self drafted briefs.

Welcome to my first post for the Simple Sew Blog. I’m really pleased to join the team of sewing bloggers & to be part of the Simple Sew Patterns #SewThisIsChristmas Makes.
It was exciting to have a free range of the Simple Sew patterns & similarly fabrics from ClothSpot.
