Nearly a year ago I made this little dress for Joan’s 1st Birthday. And now here’s our nearly 2 year old still wearing the same little dress. A bit shorter on her these days but happy for it to still be fitting. Makes me think a lot about making clothes that grow well with little people as they change. This little dress was based on my rue blouse pattern 🪻

The most magical gardens 🪻🌷🌻 Have been wanting to visit the Toowoomba Carnival of Flowers for many years and finally got to this weekend. We got up super early to run the parkrun Australia there. Was so lovely seeing the flowers in the early morning before it got super busy. They don’t call it garden city for nothing 🌿🐝

It’s been just over a year since the Soften Pillowcase was released! ☁️ Love looking back at these sweet photos.

Such a simple handmade gift idea. You can mix and match fabrics and probably even use some of what you already have in your scrap pile or stash.

Now’s a lovely time to get a head start on Christmas sewing before the end-of-year busyness kicks in! 🎀 find the pattern at www.softenstudio.com 🤍

I have to give a little shout out to my lovely friend Miriam Jayne Pearce 🤍

We met for coffee nearly a year ago after she reached out when she saw I had moved back to Brisbane. She had made a few of my patterns, we realised we had mutual friends, and decided to catch up.

At the time, I had just come through a pretty challenging year of becoming a first-time mum, a season of postpartum depression, an interstate move, and feeling the weight of trying to keep up with all the expectations I had placed on myself as a mum, wife and business owner.

I had been praying for a mentor figure to come alongside me, and I’m so grateful Miriam came into my life when she did.

Over the past year she has generously shared so much of her own experience with me, given me advice as a fellow business owner, and regularly made time to help me work through life and business when I’ve felt overwhelmed.

I’ve gained so much from knowing her this year and I really thank God for her 🙌🏼

It’s funny to think that sewing patterns and a coffee with someone I’d never met before led to such an important friendship.

Us at Frocktails last week. Thank you Miriam 🤍

My August prompt ✂️

Last month’s prompt was to make something inspired by an artist, and I chose Henri Matisse.

We visited a Matisse exhibition in Japan a few years ago and I especially loved his paper cut-outs. We brought home one of the prints from the exhibition, and I also bought this little Matisse book for Joan’s first Christmas.

For my project, I made a little kids version of my pinafore that I’ve been slowly playing around with, and appliquéd a few shapes inspired by his cut-outs in that beautiful Matisse blue.

Was a really good excercise to stay true to the inspiration rather than just adding something I thought would look pretty but had no real connection to. I love that the little details tell a story that’s meaningful to us 💙
