You asked. I finally did it. 😂

This is the Longline Malva Wrap Cardigan : a longer, mid-hip version of my Chunky Malva Wrap Cardigan.

I've had a few lovely messages over the years asking how to make the original Malva longer, but last year joe ~ l'osier sauvage actually asked me if I could help her create a longer version in her size.

So I did.

And then... well... somehow a year passed. 🙈

But I've FINALLY graded the longer version and I'm really excited to turn it into a proper pattern!

And while I'm at it, I'm also updating the original Chunky Malva.

Both versions will be available in UK sizes 6–28, with two additional sizes being added to the original pattern.

Before I release the Longline Malva, though, I need some lovely knitters to help me test it.
Would you be interested in pattern testing the Longline Malva?

If so, comment MALVA or DM me and I'll send you the tester information. ❤️

PATTERN TESTERS WANTED

I'm very excited to finally share a little glimpse of the Sasille Dress, my newest dress pattern!

Sasille is a relaxed, Greek-goddess-inspired dress with a V-neck, bust darts, a fully lined bodice, concealed side pockets and long braided straps which can be tied and wrapped in different ways.

I'm now looking for a small group of experienced sewists to help me test the pattern before launch.

I'm particularly looking for testers who:

✂️ Have experience sewing from PDF patterns, ideally with previous pattern-testing experience
✂️ Can commit to completing the test between 25 August and 11 September
✂️ Are confident sewing independently
✂️ Are happy to give honest, constructive feedback on fit, construction and instructions
✂️ UK sizes 8-24 welcome

Sasille is a Confident Beginner–Intermediate pattern and involves sewing and making long straps, understitching and sewing a narrow hem.

It's designed for woven, non-stretch fabrics with soft drape, such as linen and linen blends, viscose linen, rayon challis and lightweight crepe.

A toile is absolutely fine — you don't need to make a finished garment. What matters most is your time, experience and willingness to give detailed feedback. ♡

Applications close Sunday 23 August.

I've done a blog post on my website (I'll link in my stories) with the full details of the evolution of my sewing studio. I've had this setup like this for a while, and wanted to test it before settling on the layout, but I can confirm it's working a treat! I can honestly say that getting a dedicated cutting table (mine is A0) has been the biggest game changer, along with having my work desk not facing the wall (a Feng Shui principle).

Anyway, I hope you like seeing the changes. It's only a small room, but it's got everything I need for working, designing and sewing 🧵

This Stargazer Wearable Quilt was made by one of my pattern testers , and I had the pleasure of photographing it in use.

From a blanket on the ground to something to wrap around your shoulders, and to wear. We headed to Rutland water to capture the Quilt being used and loved.

It’s always special to see a pattern come to life like this.

Helen used a combination of dress fabrics and cottons, and I love the darker floral pattern in the patchwork.

This Stargazer was made as a commission for festival season, using a pre-quilted puffer fabric.

It’s quite different from my usual patchwork versions, but I love how adaptable the pattern can be depending on the fabric.

The pattern is available on my website and Etsy.

A few quiet moments in the sun with the Blossomia hat.

An unusually warm March day here in the UK — it felt like a small glimpse of summer.

Sew your own for sunny days with the sewing Pattern available on the website and Etsy shop.

I wrote a little about the tea dye process I used for the Stargazer quilt.

It was a simple step, but it completely softened the colours and gave the fabric that muted, timeworn feel I love.

I’ve shared a few before and after photos, along with the process, over on the blog if you’re curious.

I've posted the link to the blog post in the comments.

Sew the Stargazer Wearable Quilt with me. A convertible quilt/poncho.

I’ve shared the full sew-along video on YouTube if you’d like to follow along while making your own. The pattern is available on both the website and Etsy store with various formats.
