Most of my rainproof coats by North Face or Happy Rainy Days, though lovely, need to be treated frequently with special products to remain water resistant. Meh. So I looked at truly 100% waterproof raincoats, but most shapes were bulky

Sapporo coat – zipped!
Another attempt at going oversized! I had bought a chambray-looking soft shell fabric years ago and have been looking for a suitable pattern for a while. The soft shell is a bit stiff which makes it fun to try more

Delpozo inspired dress
Small prints make me queasy, and sewing only with plain fabrics can be a bit boring. I’ve often painted my own fabrics in the past, but have now treated myself to a Bobbinhood ‘silk-screen’ printer so I can achieve a

The Starlist or the Blackwars?
